# Metadata (Localizations)

> Read and update app store metadata — description, keywords, what's new, support URL

App Store metadata is stored per **locale** (language) and per **version**. Use version localizations to manage description, keywords, promotional text, what's new, support URL, and marketing URL.

<Note>
  `name` and `subtitle` in the **App Information** tab are not version-localization fields.\
  Use App Info localization endpoints instead:

  * `GET /v1/connect/apps/:appId/app-infos`
  * `GET /v1/connect/app-infos/:appInfoId/localizations`
  * `PATCH /v1/connect/app-info-localizations/:localizationId`
</Note>

<Note>
  Most metadata can only be updated when the app is in an **editable state** (e.g. `PREPARE_FOR_SUBMISSION`). **Promotional text** can be updated at any time, even when the app is live.
</Note>

## Get Localization

```
GET /v1/connect/localizations/:localizationId
```

Get a single localization's metadata.

***

## Update Localization

```
PATCH /v1/connect/localizations/:localizationId
```

Update metadata for a localization. Send only the attributes you want to change.

### Request Body

```json theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark"}}
{
  "attributes": {
    "description": "Updated app description...",
    "keywords": "record, voice, audio, tape, memo",
    "whatsNew": "* Bug fixes\n* New tape styles",
    "promotionalText": "Try the new neon tape!",
    "supportUrl": "https://example.com/support",
    "marketingUrl": "https://example.com"
  }
}
```

| Attribute       | Type   | Max Length |
| --------------- | ------ | ---------- |
| description     | string | 4000       |
| keywords        | string | 100        |
| promotionalText | string | 170        |
| whatsNew        | string | 4000       |

| marketingUrl    | string | —          |

<Tip>
  **Keywords**: Use commas to separate. No spaces after commas. Apple recommends 5–10 high-value keywords. Avoid duplication with your app name and subtitle.
</Tip>

***

## Create Localization

```
POST /v1/connect/versions/:versionId/localizations
```

Add a new language to a version (the version must be in an editable state).

```json theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark"}}
{
  "locale": "de-DE",
  "attributes": {
    "description": "Tape Record verwandelt deine Stimme...",
    "keywords": "aufnahme,stimme,audio,kassette",
    "whatsNew": "* Fehlerbehebungen",
    "supportUrl": "https://webmob.ee/support"
  }
}
```

`locale` is required; all attributes are optional and can be patched later. For **App Information** languages (name, subtitle), use `POST /v1/connect/app-infos/:appInfoId/localizations` with `{ "locale": "de-DE", "attributes": { "name": "...", "subtitle": "..." } }`.

***

## Delete Localization

```
DELETE /v1/connect/localizations/:localizationId
DELETE /v1/connect/app-info-localizations/:localizationId
```

Removes a language from the version or app info. Only possible while the version is editable.

***

## Bulk Localization Workflow

For translating an entire version in one call (all locales, AI-assisted), see the higher-level endpoints:

```
GET  /v1/connect/localizations/live       → current live metadata for all locales
POST /v1/connect/localizations/pull       → pull App Store metadata into Appeeky
POST /v1/connect/localizations/publish    → publish translated metadata to App Store
POST /v1/connect/localizations/remove     → remove locales in bulk
```
