v1.0.5 -- API & Integration Ready
Building a music distribution platform means you need reliable, documented APIs and test environments. v1.0.5 brings a complete API overhaul with 125+ new endpoints covering webhooks, supply-chain configuration, multi-channel ingestion, and financial reporting—plus dedicated sandbox environments for your development teams. This release is built for partners who want to integrate directly with ToneGrid.
auto_awesome What's New
- • Webhooks & Events. Receive real-time notifications for releases, distribution milestones, and financial events via HMAC-signed webhooks. 144 DSP-specific events let you react instantly to catalog changes.
- • Supply-Chain API. Configure pricing, territory rules, and DSP-specific delivery settings programmatically. Set effective dates and overrides per distributor, DSP, or region.
- • Multi-Channel Ingest. Ingest releases via REST JSON, DDEX XML, CSV bulk uploads, or scheduled cron jobs. Idempotent APIs ensure safe retries without duplicates.
- • Financial Reporting API. Pull earnings, splits, and disbursement data by release, artist, or time period. Plan cash flow with per-DSP breakdowns.
- • DSP Credentials Vault. Store API keys and authentication tokens for each DSP securely (AES-256 encrypted). Rotate without touching your code.
- • Rights & Metadata. Manage writers, publishers, collaborators, and multi-language metadata (BCP-47 locales). Attach DDEX ERN metadata with one call.
- • Sandbox Environments. Test integrations on sandbox.tonegrid.pro and api-sandbox.tonegrid.pro before hitting production. Demo accounts included.
- • API Documentation. Revamped api-docs.tonegrid.pro with full OpenAPI 3.1 spec (65+ paths), light/dark mode, and organized by feature (webhooks, supply-chain, finance, rights, metadata).
workspace_premium How It Benefits You
- • Build integrations with confidence. Comprehensive webhooks and idempotent APIs mean you can sync ToneGrid data into your own systems reliably, without fear of duplicates or missed events.
- • Launch faster with less code. Multi-channel ingest and pre-built DDEX support let you onboard releases in bulk without custom ETL pipelines.
- • Manage your catalog programmatically. Adjust DSP strategy, pricing, and territory rules on the fly via APIs, without logging into ToneGrid.

v1.0.4 — Enhanced ACRCloud Inspection
As DSP and UGC requirements evolve, having clear visibility into your catalog is essential. Enhanced ACRCloud detection, now with AI detection and improved result grouping, helps you review tracks more efficiently and make confident decisions before distribution.
auto_awesome What's New
- smart_toy AI detection in Inspection. Flag tracks that may be AI-generated, with confidence scoring and source attribution (e.g. Suno) surfaced directly in the review view — before distribution.
- bar_chart Smarter detection grouping. Remix and Sample results split into Needs Attention and Other Detections using an 80% confidence threshold. High-risk matches stand out immediately.
- folder_open Redesigned detection tabs. Tabs only appear when relevant, with key information surfaced upfront. The Inspection view stays clean and focused.
- check_circle Richer pre-distribution context. Clearer visibility into catalog risks — including AI-generated content — before releases go live on DSPs.
workspace_premium How It Benefits You
- smart_toy Review tracks with more context: get clearer insight into potential risks, including AI-generated content, before distribution.
- track_changes Focus on what matters: prioritize high-confidence detections that may require action.

v1.0.3 — Video Distribution & Partner Sandbox
Music videos are now a first-class part of your catalog. With video distribution to seven new DSPs, plus a hard-blocked sandbox environment for safe integration testing, you can extend your offering and de-risk your white-label setup in one release.
auto_awesome What's New
- movie Music video distribution. Deliver to YouTube, Vevo, TikTok, Apple Music Video, TIDAL Video, Audiomack Video, and Boomplay Video. Full DDEX MEAD metadata, sync clearances, content ratings, and per-DSP territory controls in a six-step submission flow.
- science Partner sandbox environment. Test your full white-label integration at sandbox.tonegrid.pro without touching production. DSP delivery, payments, and outbound email are hard-blocked at the platform layer.
- shield Video moderation queue. A dedicated admin view for video submissions with status counters and full per-video controls — approve, flag, reject with reason, or escalate to platform-level review.
- palette Branded artist avatars. Artists and labels without artwork now render unique, deterministic silhouettes consistent with your brand palette. Same artist always gets the same avatar.
- sell Unified status taxonomy. Consistent labels and colors across releases, DSP delivery, subscriptions, payments, KYC, and fraud — one system, eleven contexts.
- link Stable artist profile URLs. Profiles now live at /artist/{code} using a permanent identifier. Names can change without breaking links.
- public Seven new video-capable DSPs added to the catalog: Vevo, TikTok, Apple Music Video, TIDAL Video, Audiomack Video, and Boomplay Video.
- history_edu Full audit trail on video submissions. Every action logged with actor, role, timestamp, and IP — know exactly who approved, flagged, or escalated any submission.
- bug_report Fixed a mobile layout overflow on the artist roster page that caused horizontal scrolling on smaller screens.
- bug_report Fixed artist profile URL resolution — a stale routing rule was causing /artist/{code} lookups to fail intermittently.
workspace_premium How It Benefits You
- movie Extend your catalog into video without building new infrastructure or onboarding new vendors.
- science De-risk integration changes by testing the full white-label stack in a sandbox before promoting to production.
