Adding/Editing Releases

A release is an album, EP, or single. Releases contain one or more tracks and various metadata. Use the /content/release/save resource to create or edit releases. Specifically, this resource enables you to do the following:

Manage release metadata, including uploading relevant files
Create new tracks and assign them to the release
Assign existing tracks to a release, with or without editing them otherwise stated, the Revelator API does not support partial updates. When editing an object, the existing values of any omitted parameters will be deleted or overwritten, according to the designated behavior for a null value for that parameter. Consequently, we recommend you always query the object you want to edit and modify the JSON object to avoid partial update problems.

Unless otherwise stated, the Revelator API does not support partial updates. When editing an object, the existing values of any omitted parameters will be deleted or overwritten, according to the designated behavior for a null value for that parameter. Consequently, we recommend you always query the object you want to edit and modify the JSON object to avoid partial update problems.

Important Considerations for Creating Releases

Before detailing the request body, please review these important rules regarding UPCs and the creation of compilation releases.

Track Association and Uniqueness (Single Release per Track ID)

Currently, a single trackId can only be associated with one release at a time.

If you need to include the same underlying recording (i.e., the same ISRC) on multiple releases (e.g., a single and a later album), you must treat it as a new track for each release. This means you should create a new track entity (which will generate a new, unique trackId) for each release it appears on.

We are actively working on removing this constraint to allow a single track entity to be associated with multiple releases. This documentation will be updated when that functionality is available.

Global UPC Uniqueness

To ensure data integrity and prevent content conflicts, UPCs must be unique across the entire Revelator system.

UPCs used in sandbox account can be used again in production account.

Creating Compilation Releases

A compilation is a release that features multiple primary artists. Our system has specific validation rules to correctly identify and process these releases.

Artists Must Exist and Be Provided For a compilation release to validate properly, all contributors (especially primary artists using roleId = 49) must be provided as an object containing their existing artistId. You cannot create new artists implicitly within a compilation release payload.
Compilation Validation Logic Our system determines if a release is a “Various Artists” compilation based on the presence of a main artistId at the release level and the count of primary artist contributors (roleId = 49) across the entire release (at both the release and track levels).
- If you provide a main artistId at the release level: The release is treated as a standard release by a primary artist. You will receive an error if you also include more than four primary artist contributors (roleId = 49).
- If you do NOT provide a main artistId at the release level: The release is treated as a “Various Artists” compilation. You will receive an error if you include less than four primary artist contributors (roleId = 49). This ensures the release meets the criteria for a compilation.

POST `/content/release/save`

Request Body

Parameter	Type	Description
`name` required	string	Title of the Release. Required for new releases. When provided with an existing `releaseId`, updates the name of the release.
`releaseId` optional	integer	ID for the existing release you want to edit. This ID was returned in the response when the release was created. When set to 0, creates a new release. (Default) Inline with the general behavior of this API, patching is not supported. Existing values for omitted parameters will be deleted or overwritten.
`artistName` optional	string	Name of the release’s primary artist/band. Should be only the name of one artist. The artist named in this parameter will be the only artist named for the release in contracts and analytics. Additional artists should be named as contributors. If there is more than one primary artist, additional primary artist should be listed as contributors with the role Primary Artist. When provided without an `artistId`, tries to find an existing artist with the same name (case-insensitive). If no such artist is found, creates a new artist. When provided with an `artistId`, the `artistName` is ignored. The artist associated with the `artistId` will be assigned to the release and the name of the artist will not be updated. Should be omitted for compilations. Otherwise, either an `artistName` or `artistId` must be provided. If neither are provided, the artist will be null, and this is only valid for compilations. All artists in child enterprises automatically appear in the parent enterprise.
`artistId` optional	integer	ID for an existing artist to assign as the primary artist for the release. Should be omitted for compilations. Otherwise, either an `artistName` or `artistId` must be provided. If neither are provided, the artist will be null, and this is only valid for compilations.
`releasesLocals` required	array of objects	Release name in different languages. Only relevant if listeners may search for the release in a different language. For example, if you provided the release name in Japanese, you may want to additionally provide the name in Latin characters. You can translate the name or provide it phonetically (no rules). Parameter is mandatory even if the array is empty. Parameter is mandatory even if the array is empty. Each object in the array represents the name in a different language. If name or languageId are omitted, the object will be ignored.
`releasesLocals.name` required	string	Name in the indicated language.
`releasesLocals.version` optional	string	Version in the indicated language.
`releasesLocals.languageId` required	integer	Language ID indicating the language of the name. Each language can be used only once in the array. Lookup up the languageId using the GET /common/lookup/languages resource.
`artistLocals` optional	array of objects	Artist name in different languages. Only relevant if listeners may search for the release in a different language. For example, if you provided the artist name in Japanese, you may want to additionally provide the name in Latin characters. You can translate the name or provide it phonetically (no rules). Each object in the array represents the name in a different language
`artistLocals.name` required	string	Name in the indicated language.
`artistLocals.languageId` required	integer	Language ID indicating the language of the name. Each language can be used only once in the array. Lookup up the languageId using the GET /common/lookup/languages resource.
`contributors` required	array of objects	Additional key artists who should be given top level credit. Do not provide individual band member names. For example, “The Beatles” and, not John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr. Parameter is mandatory even if the array is empty. Each object in the array represents a contributor. Duplicate contributors are not allowed. The system prevents adding the same artist with the same role more than once on a single track or release. The uniqueness is checked based on the combination of (`artistId` or `artist.name`) and `roleId`. Legacy contributors: Prior to July 2021, contributors were not added as artists. The contributor object included a `name` parameter and did not include an artist object. The `name` parameter directly in the contributor object is deprecated, and should never be used for new contributors. When editing an existing release with legacy contributors, we recommend prompting users for the data required by the artist object and providing the contributor object according to the current standard.
`contributors.contributorId` optional	UUID	ID for an existing contributor. Not relevant for new releases. Should be provided when editing existing releases.
`contributors.roleId` required	integer	The artist’s role as a contributor. Look up roleIds with `GET /common/lookup/contributorRoles`. The “primary artist” role (roleId 49) should only be used to name additional primary artists. The first (or only) primary artist should only be indicated as the main artist with the `artistName` parameter. Any role from `contributorRoleGroupId = 4` should not be used in the contributors array, except in the case of classical music where the “composer” role (roleId 2) is required. `contributorRoleGroupId = 4` indicates the role is a publishing role, which should be provided provided per track in the `composerContentsDTO` array. It is strongly encouraged to use a reduced set of contributor roles, such as those visible in the Revelator web interface. Many users will be tempted to add extraneous roles which will result in the release being rejected by top tier DSPs.
`contributors.artist` required	object	The contributing artist. Unlike all other artists in Revelator, contributing artists with any role other than Primary Artist, Featuring, or Remixer do not require external artist IDs. In other words, contributing artists with the roles Primary Artist, Featuring, or Remixer require Apple and Spotify IDs (same as primary artists); contributing artists with other roles do not require these IDs (they are optional). See Artist Object
`version` optional	string	Title version. For example, Remastered or Deluxe edition. Typically omitted unless the release is a new version of a previously released release.
`copyrightP` required	string	The product copyright holder preceded by the year the rights were obtained. For example: 2008 Acme Inc. The product copyright holder is the person or entity that owns the exclusive rights to the complete product, including both sound recording and artwork.
`copyrightC` required	string	The sound recording copyright holder preceded by the year the rights were obtained. For example: 2008 Acme Inc. The sound recording copyright holder is the person or entity that owns the exclusive rights to the sound recording.
`hasRecordLabel` optional	boolean	`true` - The release has a record label. (See additional required parameters below). `false` - The release does not have a record label. (Default) If the primary artist for the release is an existing artist associated with a label, that label is assigned to the release. If the primary artist for the release is new or is an existing artist not associated with a label, a new label will be created and assigned to the release with the same name as the artist.
`labelName` optional	string	Should never be provided when `hasRecordLabel` is false. When provided without `labelId`, tries to find an existing label with the same name (case-insensitive). If no such label is found, creates a new label and assigns it to the release. When provided with `labelId`, the `labelName` is ignored. The label associated with the `labelId` will be assigned to the release and the name of the label will not be updated. If neither a `labelId` nor a `labelName` are provided and hasRecordLabel is true: If the primary artist for the release is an existing artist associated with a label, that label is assigned to the release. If the primary artist for the release is new or is an existing artist not associated with a label, throws an exception.
`labelId` optional	integer	ID for an existing label to assign to the release. Should never be provided when `hasRecordLabel` is false. If neither a `labelId` nor a `labelName` are provided and `hasRecordLabel` is true: If the primary artist for the release is an existing artist associated with a label, that label is assigned to the release. If the primary artist for the release is new or is an existing artist not associated with a label, throws an exception.
`artistExternalIds` optional	array of objects	An array of external DSP profile IDs for the main primary artist of the release. This structured array is the required method for providing DSP profile IDs. See the comprehensive guide at Managing External Artist IDs.
`artistAppleId` *DEPRECATED*	string	(DEPRECATED) This field is obsolete. Provide Apple Music profile IDs using the `release.artistExternalIds` array with `distributorStoreId: 1` instead. See Managing External Artist IDs.
`artistSpotifyId` *DEPRECATED*	string	(DEPRECATED) This field is obsolete. Provide Spotify profile IDs using the `release.artistExternalIds` array with `distributorStoreId: 9` instead. See Managing External Artist IDs.
`previouslyReleased` optional	boolean	`true` - The release has been released previously to being added to the Revelator system. When true, `upc` and `releaseDate` are required parameters. You should not manually update this parameter after distributing the release in the Revelator system. `false` - The release has not been released previously. (Default)
`upc` optional	integer	UPC/EAN/JAN code for the release. The UPC is a unique code that every release must have. The system will automatically generate one upon distribution (free of charge) if you omit this parameter. You should never generate a new UPC for a release that already has one. Required when `previouslyReleased` is `true`. The value needs to be unique across the system
`releaseDate` optional	string	Official date the release was previously released in the ISO format `YYYY-MM-DD` Required when `previouslyReleased` is `true`; otherwise should not be provided. When distributing the release with the Revelator system, you should not manually update this parameter; you should only set the `saleStartDate` parameter in the distribution options endpoint. See Setting Distribution Options. Release date year cannot be more than 1 year different than your P & C line year.
`primaryMusicStyleId` required	integer	The primary music style ID for the release. See Music Style ID.
`secondaryMusicStyleId` optional	integer	The secondary music style ID for the release. See Music Style ID.
`languageId` required	integer	Language ID for the release’s meta data. This is not the language of the songs/lyrics, but the language of the information provided in this API request. Lookup up the languageId using the GET `/common/lookup/languages` resource. English is 1.
`description` optional	string	Release description.
`tracks` required	array of objects	Tracks for the release. Each object in the array represents a track. See Track Object.
`image` optional	object	Cover image for the release. Although a cover image is not required when creating a release, it is required to distribute the release. Stores and services will reject images that do not conform to the following standards: Technical specifications: File format must be JPG Color space must be RGB Minimum dimensions of 1400x1400 pixels; 3000x3000 pixels recommended Must be a square image (width and height the same) May not contain more than 50 megapixels or be larger than 10 Mb Cannot be stretched, upscaled, or appear to be low-resolution Content: Information must match album title and artist name No website addresses, social media links or contact information No sexually explicit imagery Cannot be misleading by figuring a different artist’s name more prominently No third-party logo or trademarks without express written permission from the trademark holder In line with the general behavior of this API, patching is not supported. When editing an existing release associated with an existing file, you must include this object (with the existing fileId and fileName) to prevent the file from being deleted. See File Object.

`compositions.isPaid` optional	boolean	Indicates if royalties/payments for this composition have been settled or paid.
`isrc` optional	string	This field is part of the old* Track Recording model. See New track recording model for more information.* ISRC code for the track. Hyphens and spaces will be automatically removed, and letters will be automatically capitalized. The ISRC is a unique code that every track must have. The system will automatically generate one upon distribution (free of charge) if you omit this parameter. You should never generate a new ISRC for a track that already has one. The format of the ISRC code is CCXXXYYNNNNN, where CC is the country code (letters), XXX is your registrant code (letters and numbers), YY is the year (numbers), and NNNNN is the unique identifier (numbers).
`wav` optional	object	This field is part of the old* Track Recording model. See New track recording model for more information.* Audio file for the track in WAV format. Although the audio file is optional when creating a track, it is required to distribute it. The audio file must be a stereo WAV file. A minimum bit depth of 16 bit and minimum sample rate of 44.1 kHz are recommended. In line with the general behavior of this API, patching is not supported. When editing an existing release associated with an existing file, you must include this object (with the existing `fileId` and `fileName`) to prevent the file from being deleted. See File Object
`trackRecordingVersions` optional	array of objects	This field is part of the new* Track Recording model. See New track recording model for more information.* If provided, this list needs to have A mandatory stereo version (`recordingVersionType` - 1) An optional Dolby Atmos version (`recordingVersionType` - 2). Sample rate needs to be 48000 Hz The number of channels needs to be at least 3 The file size needs to be less than 2GB The length of the recording must match the length of the stereo version. The ISRCs must be different between the two versions. Once a Track Version is created, it cannot be removed (only edited, but even then limited)
`trackRecordingVersions.recordingVersionType` required	integer	Type of the track version. `1` - Stereo `2` - Dolby Atmos
`trackRecordingVersions.isrc` required	string	A valid ISRC code for the track version. If Dolby Atmos version exists, it’s ISRC cannot match the stereo version. These need to be unique. Leave as `null` if the ISRC should be generated automatically (during distribution).
`trackRecordingVersions.audioFiles` required	array of objects	When creating a new track, this array must contain a single object with a WAV (`1`) or a FLAC (`2`) `fileFormat`. If multiple objects are provided, only one will be used, where WAV has the priority over FLAC. if neither are provided the track will be created without an audio file. When editing an existing track: If the request is to replace the audio file - The list must contain only one object specifying the new audio file. (This only works for stereo files. Due to DSP restrictions, we DO NOT support updating Dolby Atmos files) If the request is to edit an unrelated field - The list must have the exact same values returned by the GET `/content/track/{trackId}` endpoint. See Audio File Object

New track recording model (Dolby Atmos Support)

With the release of support for Dolby Atmos, we have updated the track object adequately. The old model is going to remain supported with the goal of backwards compatibility; however, we strongly advise adapting to this new model (even if not utilizing Dolby Atmos).

New model (Supports Dolby Atmos)

Track object includes the following properties:

trackRecordingVersions[]
- isrc
- recordingVersionType
- trackRecordingVersions.audioFiles[] - audioFiles.audioId - audioFiles.audioFilename - audioFiles.fileFormat

Old model (Does not support Dolby Atmos)

Track object includes the following properties:

isrc
wav or flac

Only one of the two models should be used, failiure to do so will result in an error.

Refer to the track object table for coprehensive information on these fields

Uploading Files

All files must be uploaded before being associated with a track or a release. This goes for both audio and image assets.

POST `/media/audio/upload`

Uploads WAV or FLAC audio files.

A recent change requires all audio files to be longer than 2 seconds. Invalid audio files will be rejected.

Retrieving Releases

Use the following endpoints to retrieve release data.

By default, these endpoints will return all releases the user has permissions to view, not just the releases in the user’s account. A parent account user will receive all releases in every child.

In response you will receive releaseTypeId which is automatically set based on provided data across release and it’s tracks.

1 - Album
2 - Single
4 - EP

Some endpoint will return additionalCounters. This object contains number of release types that were not included in retuned list but match searched conditions.

July 23, 2025

Upcoming Change: The SpotifyId, AppleId, and RdioId fields on the Track object are deprecated and will be removed in a future update.

Please use the new ReleaseTracks field for DSP identifiers going forward. This new structure provides a more consistent and scalable way to associate tracks with external DSP identifiers across releases.

Example of the new ReleaseTracks field within the Track object:

{
  // Existing fields
  "tracks": [
    {
      // Existing fields
      "releaseTracks": [
        {
          "releaseId": 0,
          "spotifyId": "string",
          "appleId": 0,
          "rdioId": "string",
          "deezerId": "string"
        }
      ]

Adding/Editing Artists

An artist is a metadata entity that is referenced in assets (releases and tracks).

It is not necessary to create artists before creating an asset, unless you are running an ingestion script, while importing/creating a catalog; see Workflow: Importing an Existing Catalog or Creating New Release for more information about this issue.
Artists can be created with the same API call that creates the asset (Adding/Editing Releases). When creating or editing an asset, the options for editing existing artists associated with the asset are limited.
When editing an artist that is already associated with assets, all associated assets will be updated automatically.

Due to DSP requirements, an artist cannot be listed as a primary artist twice, or listed as both a primary artist and a featuring artist on the same track or release.

The Revelator API prohibits this scenario with an error message when attempting to set an artist as both the main primary artist (indicated with the artistId and artistName) as well as a contributor with the role of primary or featuring.

POST `/artists`

Creates new or edits existing artists in the account associated with the access token.

For Child Account implementation models, you have the option to run requests in a child account while authenticated as a parent account user. See Running Requests in Child Accounts.

Request Body

Parameter	Type	Description
`name` optional	string	Name of the artist. When provided without an `artistId`, tries to find an existing artist with the same name (case-insensitive). If no such artist is found, creates a new artist. When provided with an `artistId`, updates the name of the artist. Either an `artistName` or `artistId` must be provided. If neither are provided, the artist will be null and the metadata for the track will be invalid. All artists in child enterprises automatically appear in the parent enterprise.
`artistId` optional	integer	ID for an existing artist. Either an `artistName` or `artistId` must be provided. If neither are provided, the artist will be null and the metadata for the track will be invalid.
`artistExternalIds` optional	array of objects	External IDs for the artist for each store. Each supported store should have one or zero entries. These IDs are used by the stores to make sure that all of an artist’s content stays together. Each object in the array represents an external ID for the artist at a specific store. `0`, `null` or no entry will result in different behavior for each store during distribution Apple Music (1): A new profile will be created during distribution Spotify (9): A new profile will be created when the release goes live SoundCloud (68): Soundclound will map the artist to a profile of their choosing or create a new profile if unsuccessful. Meta (309): Meta will map the artist to a profile of their choosing. New profile cannot be created automatically.
`artistExternalIds.profileId` required	string	External ID for the artist at the specified store. To find this ID go to the artist’s page at the store, and copy the numeric part of the URL For an artist not on the store, provide `0`, `null` or omit this array entry. Behavior will differ depending on the store.
`artistExternalIds.distributorStoreId` required	string	Revelator ID for the store. Currently supported for: Apple Music - 1 Spotify - 9 Soundcloud - 68 Meta - 309
`artistLocals` optional	array of objects	Artist name in different languages. Only relevant if listeners may search for the release in a different language. For example, if you provided the artist name in Japanese, you may want to additionally provide the name in Latin characters. You can translate the name or provide it phonetically (no rules). Each object in the array represents the name in a different language
`artistLocals.name` required	string	Name in the indicated language.
`artistLocals.languageId` required	integer	Language ID indicating the language of the name. Each language can be used only once in the array. Lookup up the languageId using the GET `/common/lookup/languages` resource.
`image` optional	object	The image representing the artist. See File Object.
`additionalContacts` optional	array of objects	Array of Contact objects. Details about contacts can be found in the Adding/Editing Contacts section.
`activeFromDate` optional	string	The specific date when the artist began their activity. ISO 8601 format (e.g., YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS).
`activeToDate` optional	string	The specific date when the artist ended their activity (or null if still active). ISO 8601 format (e.g., YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS).
`firstName` optional	string	Legal first name of the artist. Must consist only of Unicode letters, hyphens (-), single quotes (’), or dots (.). Must have a total length between 1 and 100 characters (inclusive).
`middleName` optional	string	Legal middle name(s) of the artist.
`lastName` optional	string	Legal last name of the artist. Must consist only of Unicode letters, hyphens (-), single quotes (’), or dots (.). Must have a total length between 1 and 100 characters (inclusive).
`isni` optional	string	The International Standard Name Identifier (ISNI) for the artist. Must be exactly 16 alphanumeric characters, where the last character can also be ‘X’.
`artistLabels` optional	array of objects	An array of objects, each representing an association with a Label. See nested fields below for structure and requirements.
`artistLabels.labelId` required	integer	The ID of an existing Label to associate with the artist.
`artistLabels.contractStartYear` required	string	The start date of the contract between the artist and this label. ISO 8601 format (e.g., YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SSZ).
`artistLabels.contractEndYear` optional	string	The end date of the contract between the artist and this label. If provided, must be after `contractStartYear`. ISO 8601 format (e.g., YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SSZ).

Managing External Artist IDs

External Artist IDs (also known as profile IDs) are identifiers used by DSPs (Digital Service Providers) to group an artist’s content under a single profile. Providing these IDs is crucial for preventing situations where artists with the same name are merged or a single artist’s catalog is split across multiple profiles.

This is managed through the artistExternalIds array, which can be provided in the following contexts:

When creating or updating an artist.
When adding or updating an artist as a contributor to a release or a track.
Directly on a release or a track for the main primary artist.

Currently, providing external artist IDs is supported for:

Apple Music (distributorStoreId: 1)
Spotify (distributorStoreId: 9)
SoundCloud (distributorStoreId: 68)
Meta (distributorStoreId: 309 & 310)

Providing `artistExternalIds`

The artistExternalIds is an array of objects. Each object links a profileId (the artist’s ID on the DSP) with a distributorStoreId (our internal ID for the DSP).

Parameter	Type	Description
`artistExternalIds` optional	array of objects	An array of objects, each representing an external ID for the artist at a specific store. Each supported store should have one or zero entries.
`artistExternalIds.profileId` required	string	The artist’s profile ID at the specified store. To find this ID, go to the artist’s page at the store and copy the unique identifier from the URL.
`artistExternalIds.distributorStoreId` required	integer	The Revelator ID for the store. See the “Supported DSPs” callout above for current values.

Handling New Artists (Empty or Missing Profile IDs)

Always provide a profileId if one exists for the artist. If the artist is new to a DSP, you should omit the entry for that DSP from the artistExternalIds array. Each DSP has different behavior when an artist’s profile ID is not provided:

Apple Music (1): A new profile will be generated during distribution.
Spotify (9): A new profile will be generated when a release goes live.
SoundCloud (68): SoundCloud will attempt to map the artist to an existing profile or create a new one if unsuccessful. Please contact Support if you notice your release mapped to the wrong page.
Meta (309 & 310): Meta will attempt to map the artist to an existing profile. New profiles cannot be created automatically. Please contact Support if you notice your release mapped to the wrong page.

Profiles for Facebook Audio Library (309) and Facebook Rights Manager (310) are connected. When you assign an artist’s profile for one, we will automatically create the other. When updating, you must provide the same profileId for both distributorStoreId: 309 and distributorStoreId: 310 simultaneously.

Retrieving and Re-using New IDs

If a profileId for an artist has already been generated by a DSP, you must retrieve and use it for all subsequent releases. Failing to provide the existing ID will cause a second, duplicate profile to be generated for the artist, splitting their catalog.

Before distributing a new release for an artist who was previously new to a DSP, follow these steps:

Retrieve the Artist’s Current Data: Use the GET /content/artist/{artistId} endpoint. The response will include the most up-to-date artistExternalIds array, including any newly generated IDs. See Artist Object.
Use the Current IDs: Provide the full, current artistExternalIds array in your POST /content/release/save request.

Do not continuously poll our system for new IDs. Only run the GET request immediately before distributing a new release that requires the ID. A profileId may never be generated for various reasons (e.g., a Spotify release does not go live).

Adding/Editing Publishers

A publisher is a metadata entity that is referenced in assets (releases and tracks).

POST `/content/publisher/save`

Creates a new publisher or updates an existing one. The target enterprise for the operation can be specified if the authenticated user has appropriate parent/child account permissions.

June 25, 2025

When a new Publisher is created implicitly as part of saving a Release or Track, its enterpriseId will automatically be set to match the enterpriseId of that Release or Track.

This is a change from previous behavior where the new publisher would inherit the enterpriseId of the currently authenticated user’s session. This new behavior ensures that implicitly created publishers are correctly associated with the enterprise context of the asset they are first introduced with.

When managing Publishers directly via the /content/publisher/save endpoint, you have more explicit control over the enterpriseId as described in the parameters for this endpoint.

When assigning existing contact, only contactId on additionalContacts object is required.

Request Body

Parameter	Type	Description
`publisherId` optional	Integer	ID for an existing publisher. Required when editing publisher, should be ommited or set to `0` when creating new publisher.
`name` required	string	Full name of the publisher.
`ipiCae` optional	string	IPI (Interested Parties Information) - CAE (Composer, Author, and Publisher) number. Exactly 9 digits (IPI) or 11 digits (CAE). Unique across publishers and composers (writers) in the same tenant if present. Used to identify publishers across rights organizations.
`image` optional	object	The image representing the publisher. See File Object.
`image.fileId` required	string	The ID of the previously uploaded file. Required when image object is present.
`image.filename` required	string	Name of the previously uploaded file with extension.
`proAffiliations` optional	array of objects	A list detailing the Performance Rights Organizations (PROs) affiliations.
`proAffiliations.proId` required	integer	Our internal ID linking to the `mechanicalPros` entity.
`proAffiliations.memberId` required	string	Unique ID issued by PRO. Unique across composers and publishers for the same tenant.
`additionalContacts` optional	array of objects	Array of Contact objects. Details about contacts can be found in the Adding/Editing Contacts section.
`website` optional	string	Publisher’s website.
`countryId` optional	integer	Country where this publisher administers publishing rights and collects royalties.
`enterpriseId` optional	integer	Specifies the target enterprise ID for the publisher. Usage Context: Primarily used by parent enterprise users to manage publishers within one of their child enterprises. During Creation (when `publisherId` is omitted or 0): If the authenticated user is from a child enterprise: This field is optional. If omitted, the publisher is created in the user’s own enterprise. If provided, it must match the user’s enterprise ID. If the authenticated user is from a parent enterprise: This field is required to specify the target child enterprise for creation. Omitting it will result in an error. During Update (when a valid `publisherId` is provided): If the authenticated user is from a child enterprise: This field is generally ignored, as the update targets the specific publisher ID which already exists within their enterprise. If the authenticated user is from a parent enterprise: This field is ignored. The update targets the publisher identified by `publisherId` regardless of which child enterprise it belongs to (assuming the parent has access).
