Common questions
Why is a game or soundtrack missing?
OSTDB lists official releases only, so games without an official soundtrack on a streaming service are not in it. If one exists and is missing, add it through the contributor dashboard and it will be reviewed.
How long until my submission appears?
Submissions are reviewed manually by a person, so it is not instant. You can follow the status of your submissions on the contributor dashboard.
A Spotify or Apple Music link is wrong.
Open an issue on GitHub or email us with the game name and the link you expected. Releases are sometimes removed or replaced by the streaming services.
Do I need an account?
No. Browsing, searching and the API need no account. You only sign in to add a soundtrack or to vote.
Can I use the data commercially?
The data is licensed CC BY-NC-SA 4.0: attribution is required, it is for non-commercial use, and derived data must be shared under the same license. For commercial use, email us.
How do I delete my account or my data?
Email us from the address of your account and we will take care of it. The privacy policy explains what is stored.
Is OSTDB affiliated with Spotify, Apple or the game studios?
No. OSTDB is an independent project. Game data comes from IGDB; the soundtracks link to the official streaming pages.
