There are several ways to get metadata into Stash.
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 :fontawesome-solid-gear: **Settings** > **Metadata Providers**. See sections below for more details.
- [stash-box instances](/metadata-sources/stash-box-instances) - more automatic, crowdsourced metadata
- [Scrapers](/metadata-sources/scrapers) - more individual, can be used for different databases, official studios
## Types
### [Stash-box instances](/metadata-sources/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](/metadata-sources/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](https://github.com/stashapp/CommunityScrapers){:target="_blank"} source maintained by stashapp community.
