Beatport
Beatport is the leading online music store and streaming platform for electronic dance music DJs and producers, founded in 2004 and headquartered in Denver, Colorado. Beatport sells high-quality downloads (lossless WAV, AIFF, and FLAC, plus AAC) of tracks, releases, and DJ tools across more than 150 electronic genres, and operates a subscription streaming tier — Beatport Streaming — that delivers catalog tracks directly into supported DJ applications and hardware including Pioneer DJ rekordbox, Serato DJ Pro, Denon DJ Engine DJ, Algoriddim djay, Virtual DJ, Traktor, and others through integration partners. The Beatport Group also operates Beatsource (open- format DJ streaming and download store), DJCity (open-format record pool), Beatport LINK and Beatsource LINK (in-app streaming for DJ software), BeatportAmp (distribution and rights management for labels, formerly Ampsuite), Plugin Boutique (audio software and plugin marketplace), Loopcloud (sample subscription for producers), Label Radar (demo submission), Beatport Live (live events and streaming), Beatportal (editorial and media), and the International Music Summit (IMS) industry conference. The company reports ten million registered users, eighty thousand labels, four hundred thousand artists, and four hundred million USD paid out to rights holders since launch. Beatport operates a v4 REST API at api.beatport.com governed by OAuth 2.0 (authorization-code grant) with an interactive Swagger-UI developer portal at /v4/docs/; access is gated to approved partners through the Beatport Partner Portal, and there is no public client-credentials tier for general developers. The API exposes the Beatport catalog (tracks, releases, artists, labels, genres, sub-genres, charts, playlists, my-beatport collections, holds, and DJ-oriented search filters such as BPM, key, and released-date) and is the same surface that powers the public beatport.com applications and third-party DJ-software integrations. Beatport does not publish a downloadable OpenAPI document, an official SDK, or a CLI; partner integration is brokered case-by-case through the Partner Portal and the business-development team.
More than an index entry, but the surface is still mostly links rather than artifacts — the cohort most likely to move a full band from modest, well-targeted work.
API Evangelist profiles Beatport the way a machine reads it — 1 machine-readable artifact, 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 — Beatport scores 17.7/100 (emerging), with a separate agent-readiness read of 10/100 (human only). 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 Beatport
Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Beatport. 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.
Security Posture 1
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.
