Submission

Submit Fraud Signals

Report suspicious releases, artists, or accounts with structured evidence. Whether you're a music distributor flagging a bad actor caught on intake, or a DSP reporting UPCs and ISRCs involved in artificial streaming, Groovian handles it.

  • Submit signals on releases (with tracks + ISRCs), artists, or accounts
  • Nine fraud types: artificial streaming, stolen content, impersonation, metadata laundering, ISRC recycling, AI-generated mass uploads, playlist manipulation, payment abuse
  • Tag DSPs affected (Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, TikTok, Meta, etc.)
  • Attach evidence: DSP links, screenshots, fingerprint results, internal reports
  • Automatic MusicBrainz enrichment for tracks and artists
  • Bulk CSV import for historical ban lists

Screening

Screen Content

Before you distribute anything, check it against the collective fraud intelligence of the music industry. Screen by identity, ISRC, UPC, or any combination, and catch known bad actors at the door, not after they've hit your catalogue.

  • Search by artist, track, ISRC, UPC, or account identifiers
  • Instant risk scores based on cross-organization signals
  • See how many music distributors have flagged the same entity
  • Detailed signal history and evidence for each match

Network

Cross-Organization Matching

The real power of Groovian is what happens when signals from different organizations connect. When multiple music distributors flag the same bad actor, patterns emerge that no single organization could see alone.

  • Automatic signal linking across distributors and DSPs
  • Confidence scores that increase with corroboration
  • Distributor count shows how many organizations are seeing the same bad actor
  • Timeline view of how fraud patterns develop over time

Organization

Team Management

Groovian is built for music distributors and DSPs, not individuals. Invite your team, manage seats and permissions, and control who can submit signals, review matches, and access API keys.

  • Invite team members via email
  • Role-based access control for reviewers, admins, and API users
  • Manage seats and billing from a single dashboard
  • Organization-level API key management

Integration

SDK Integration

Integrate fraud screening directly into your music distribution pipeline. Groovian is SDK-first: drop in the SDK for your stack and you're done. Identity values are encrypted on your machine before transmission, so plaintext never reaches Groovian.

  • Drop-in SDKs handle encryption, normalisation, and transport
  • Screen identities and content programmatically at the point of ingestion
  • Bulk screening for high-volume pipelines (up to 100 items per request)
  • Submit fraud signals from your internal moderation tools
  • MCP server for AI assistant integration (Claude, etc.) with natural-language queries over the network

install.sh Sample php example
# install
$ composer require groovian/client-sdk-php

# screen identity (raw values in)
$client->screenIdentity(new ScreenIdentityRequest(
  email: 'alice@example.com',
  phone: new Phone('1', '(415) 555-0100'),
));

# tokens out, never plaintext
$result->match;       // true
$result->riskScore;   // 72
