Metadata sources
There are several ways to get metadata into Stash. Choose a type based on how much automation, coverage, and control you need.
You can configure your metadata sources under Settings > Metadata Providers. See sections below for more details.
Types¶
Stash-box instances¶
Stash-box instances provides automated or semi-automated tagging of scenes, performers and studios by matching fingerprints, StashIDs or names. The endpoint and API key are available on your stash-box account page.
Good for broad coverage and community-maintained tags.
Scrapers¶
Scrapers are built-in method to fetch metadata from wide-ranging external sources (databases, studio websites or any other website).
Best when you need source-specific accuracy or official studio metadata.
Scraper sources¶
Stash comes preconfigured with stashapp/CommunityScrapers source maintained by stashapp community.
