One of Fanaura’s most useful features is automatic streaming link fetching. When your release date arrives, Fanaura finds your track across every major streaming platform and populates your smart link page with the correct URLs — no manual work required.Documentation Index

How It Works
Add Your ISRC Code
Add your ISRC code to your release (either during creation or anytime before release day).
Fanaura Searches
Fanaura searches the Fanaura’s link resolution service using your ISRC to find matching tracks across all platforms.
The entire process is automatic. You do not need to log in, click anything, or copy-paste links from each platform. Fanaura does it all.
Platforms Searched
Fanaura searches for your track across all major streaming platforms:| Platform | Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Spotify | Streaming | The most-used platform globally |
| Apple Music | Streaming | Strong in iOS/Apple ecosystem |
| YouTube Music | Streaming | Tied to YouTube, massive reach |
| Amazon Music | Streaming | Popular with Prime subscribers |
| Deezer | Streaming | Popular in Europe, Brazil, and Africa |
| Tidal | Streaming | High-fidelity audio, popular with audiophiles |
| Pandora | Streaming/Radio | Popular in the US |
| SoundCloud | Streaming | Strong indie/electronic community |
| Audiomack | Streaming | Growing platform, strong in hip-hop and Africa |
| iTunes Store | Purchase | For fans who buy music digitally |
| YouTube | Video | Music videos and audio uploads |
The ISRC Is the Key
The entire system relies on your ISRC (International Standard Recording Code). Here is why:- Every recording in the world has a unique ISRC.
- When your distributor delivers your track to Spotify, Apple Music, etc., the ISRC travels with it.
- The link resolution service maintains a massive database that maps ISRCs to platform-specific URLs.
- Fanaura’s link resolver queries your ISRC and gets back URLs for every platform that has your track.
Automatic Page Conversion
On release day, your smart link page undergoes an automatic transformation:- Before Release Day
- After Release Day
- Page shows your artwork, song title, and artist name.
- Buttons say “Pre-Save on Spotify”, “Pre-Save on Apple Music”, etc.
- Clicking a button triggers the pre-save OAuth flow.
What If Links Are Not Found Immediately?
Sometimes a track goes live on platforms at slightly different times. Spotify might have it at midnight, but Apple Music might take a few hours. Here is what to know:- Fanaura checks periodically. If a link is not found on the first search, Fanaura will check again later.
- Links populate as they are found. Your smart link page updates dynamically. If Spotify is found first, that button appears immediately. Apple Music gets added when it is found.
- Most links are found within hours. For major distributors (DistroKid, TuneCore, CD Baby), links typically appear within 1-6 hours of release.
Manual Override
You always have full control over your streaming links. Automatic fetching is a convenience, not a requirement.Adding Links Manually
Paste Your Links
You will see a list of platforms, each with a URL input field. Paste the direct link to your track on each platform.
When to Add Links Manually
- You do not have an ISRC. Manual links are the way to go.
- A platform is not detected automatically. Some smaller or newer platforms may not be found in our link resolver.
- You want to link to a specific version. Maybe you want to link to the music video on YouTube instead of the audio-only upload.
- You want to add custom links. Fanaura supports adding custom links beyond the standard streaming platforms — link to your merch store, your Patreon, a behind-the-scenes video, or anything else.
Overriding Auto-Fetched Links
Custom Links
Beyond the standard streaming platforms, you can add custom links to your smart link page. These appear alongside your streaming buttons and can link to anything:- A music video on YouTube
- A behind-the-scenes video
- A TikTok post
- Your Patreon or membership page
- A merch bundle
- A lyric video
- An interview or press feature
- A custom label (what the button says)
- A URL (where it goes)
- An auto-detected favicon (Fanaura pulls the website’s icon automatically)
- A display order (drag to reorder)
- An enable/disable toggle
Link Click Tracking
Every click on a streaming link is tracked and attributed. Here is what Fanaura records:- Which platform was clicked (Spotify, Apple Music, etc.)
- When the click happened (timestamp)
- Who clicked it (if the fan is identified via email, phone, or prior interaction)
- Where they came from (referral source, if available)
- Which platforms your fans prefer
- How many fans are actually clicking through to stream
- The effectiveness of your promotional efforts
Button Actions
For each streaming platform link, you can configure the button action — what the button says. Options include:| Action | Example |
|---|---|
| Stream | ”Stream on Spotify” |
| Listen | ”Listen on Apple Music” |
| Pre-Save | ”Pre-Save on Spotify” (before release) |
| Buy | ”Buy on iTunes” |
| Watch | ”Watch on YouTube” |
| Download | ”Download on Audiomack” |
Reordering Links
Common Questions
Why are no links appearing on my release page?
Why are no links appearing on my release page?
Check these things in order:
- Is your ISRC entered correctly? Go to your release page and verify the ISRC. A single wrong character means the search will fail.
- Has your release date passed? Links are only fetched on or after your release date.
- Is your music actually live on platforms? Log into Spotify/Apple Music and search for your track. If it is not there yet, the link fetch cannot find it either.
- Have you waited long enough? Some platforms take a few hours to index new releases. Wait 6-12 hours before troubleshooting.
Can I add links for a release that is not out yet?
Can I add links for a release that is not out yet?

Do link clicks cost me anything?
Do link clicks cost me anything?
No. Link tracking is included in your Fanaura plan. Click as much as you want.
Can fans see which platforms I have linked?
