API and Developer Tools

Everything LabelGrid publishes for developers sits on one public REST API. This section covers the API itself, the event notifications it can push back to you, and the two official clients built on top of it.

API access is part of LabelGrid’s API plans. See API Overview and Quickstart for how to get access, generate a token, and make your first request.

The API

The public API is mounted under /api/public/... on api.labelgrid.com. You can read your catalogue, create and update releases, upload audio and artwork, manage artists, writers and publishers, pull analytics, and submit releases for distribution.

• API Overview and Quickstart — authentication, sandbox, and what the API covers
• Analytics API — platform coverage, reporting cadence and limits, scope filters, and per-track numbers
• Track Writers & Contributors (API) — sending credits and publishing splits when you create tracks

The full endpoint reference, request and response schemas, and live “try it” tooling live at api.labelgrid.com/docs/api.

Events

Rather than polling for changes, register an endpoint and let LabelGrid tell you when something happens — a review status change, a delivery update, a report becoming available.

• Webhooks — setup, event types, signing, and retries

---

Official clients

Two tools ship on the same public API, with the same permissions and the same validation:

• LabelGrid Command-Line Tool (CLI) — manage releases, files, analytics, and distribution from your terminal or a script
• Connect Your AI Assistant to LabelGrid (MCP) — connect Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client and work in plain language

Related

• Integrations — the WordPress plugin, DDEX import, and white-label distribution
• Bulk upload — getting a large catalogue in without writing code
