Audius supports bulk content ingestion via the DDEX standard.

If you're looking to build your own ingestion tooling, get started with the Audius SDK.

What is DDEX​

Digital Data Exchange (or "DDEX") is an international standards-setting organization that was formed in 2006 to develop standards that enable companies to communicate information along the digital supply chain more efficiently by:

  • Developing standard message and file formats (XML or flat-file)
  • Developing choreographies for specific business transactions
  • Developing communication protocols (SFTP or based on web services)
  • Working with industry bodies to create a more efficient supply chain.

Open Source​

All DDEX ingestion code & libraries are open source and available on GitHub.

You may clone and self-operate your own Audius compatible DDEX ingestion server, which provides a web interface to deliver files, manage uploads, and track success. Under the hood, DDEX ingestion uses the Audius SDK to process and upload tracks.
