Artlist
Artlist is a creative-assets platform for video creators, marketers and brands, licensing royalty-free music, sound effects, stock footage, video templates, LUTs and editing plugins alongside a generative AI toolkit. The Artlist Enterprise API, published at developer.artlist.io, opens the company's music catalog to partner platforms: a Search API for songs, artists and albums with mood/genre/instrument category filters plus BPM, duration, vocal-type and free-text facets, and a Download API that mints signed MP3/WAV asset URLs for licensed assets. Access is OAuth 2.0 client-credentials against an Amazon Cognito authorization server with credentials issued by an account manager, and the developer portal publishes OpenAPI 3.1 definitions, an llms.txt index, an RFC 9727 /.well-known/api-catalog linkset and a hosted MCP server for documentation search.
Real signal across most facets with visible, nameable gaps — the contract exists but is thin, or the portal is good while governance and commercial terms are absent.
API Evangelist profiles Artlist the way a machine reads it — 15 machine-readable artifacts across 5 APIs, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.
Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — Artlist scores 52.6/100 (developing), with a separate agent-readiness read of 50/100 (agent ready). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.
Kin Score
This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

How we profile Artlist
Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Artlist. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.
APIs 5
Each API is captured as its own OpenAPI definition — every operation, parameter, and response. This is the single most useful machine-readable description of what an API does, and it's what lets us score, lint, mock, and generate against it without asking the provider for anything.
Individual APIs this provider publishes, each with its own machine-readable definition.
Artlist Developer Docs MCP Server
Hosted Model Context Protocol server for the Artlist Enterprise API documentation. Exposes a single anonymous read-only tool, searchDocs, that searches developer.artlist.io and ...
Artlist Album API
The album API from Artlist — 1 operation(s) for album.
Artlist Artist API
The artist API from Artlist — 1 operation(s) for artist.
Artlist Downloadable API
The downloadable API from Artlist — 1 operation(s) for downloadable.
Artlist Song API
The song API from Artlist — 2 operation(s) for song.
Open Collections 5
Open, tool-agnostic collections carry the same runnable value as Postman without locking you to one client — the portable, forkable form of the same exercise.

Model Context Protocol servers expose these APIs directly to AI agents. We profile them because agent-native access is the fastest-growing way this provider's capabilities actually get used.

MCP SERVERRate Limits 1
Rate limits are the difference between a demo that works and a production integration that doesn't fall over. Publishing them is an operational-transparency signal — and a hard requirement for any agent that plans its own throughput.
Documented rate limits and quota policies.
Artlist Rate Limits
RATE LIMITSSecurity Posture 2
Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals — the evidence that a provider takes security seriously enough to document it. We profile it because you can't govern what you can't see.
Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals.
Agentic Access 1
An x-agentic-access contract marks which operations are safe for an agent to run on its own and which need a human in the loop. It is the difference between an API an agent can use and one it can use safely.
Recommended x-agentic-access execution contracts for AI agents.

This is an independent, third-party profile of Artlist, published by API Evangelist. We do not operate, host, resell, or support these APIs, and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by the company unless stated above. Everything here is built from publicly available information — the company's own site, developer portal, documentation, public repositories, and the specifications it publishes for public use. Nothing is obtained by breaching a system, defeating an access control, or using credentials.
The Kin Score and Agent Readiness rating are independently calculated assessments of a company's public API artifacts, scored against a published rubric. They are not certifications, endorsements, security assessments, or audits.
Corrections, re-scores, and removal are free — no partnership or purchase required, and you do not need to justify the request. A removed company is recorded as unrated, never scored zero for having asked. Acknowledgement within one business day; removal within two.
