If |id= is set, will use the El portal de Música entry for the specific title. In this case, id should be set to the end of the url for that title, e.g. for citing "Viva La Vida", the url is https://www.elportaldemusica.es/single/coldplay-viva-la-vida-2 and one needs to set |id=coldplay-viva-la-vida-2 . Also |type= is mandatory in this case.
Otherwise, certyear is the year for the certification and certmonth is the week number on which the PDF is available from the dropdown available under the week tab.
