What is Spotify artist URI?
The purpose of the URI is to enable artists to claim their Spotify for Artists (S4A) account. The iGroove support team needs the EAN code of the unreleased/released release on Spotify to find the correct URI.
When should you request the Spotify artist URI from the iGroove team?
The release must be fully complete in our system and already delivered to Spotify (even before the release date). Only then can the iGroove team search for it in the Spotify CMS using the EAN code.
Therefore, make sure you finalise the release on the iGroove platform first so that it is transmitted to Spotify. This is the only way for iGroove to retrieve the URI and enable you to claim your profile before the release date.
If you’re unsure what information is needed for the application, you can reach out to our support team via the Help Center chat and include as many details as possible (e.g., label name, Spotify artist URIs, registered email address).
