Songtrust
Songtrust is a New York City-based music publishing administration platform and a Downtown Music company. The service helps songwriters, producers, composers, and independent publishers register their compositions and collect global publishing royalties — including performance, mechanical, digital, micro-sync, and neighboring rights — through a network of 65+ collection societies and pay sources across 240 countries and territories. Songtrust's web-based dashboard provides song registration, catalog management, writer and publisher splits, royalty statement matching, metadata enrichment, weekly song monitoring, and quarterly payouts, while letting clients retain 100% ownership of their copyrights. The commercial model is a one-time $100 sign-up fee per songwriter plus 15% of collected performance royalties and 20% of non-performance royalties — positioned as a transparent flat-rate alternative to traditional publisher deals. As of this profile, Songtrust does not expose a public developer API, OpenAPI specification, SDK, or partner integration portal; the platform is consumed exclusively through the Songtrust client dashboard at app.songtrust.com. Integrations and data exchange with PROs, mechanical rights societies, DSPs, and Downtown sister companies are operated internally rather than through a documented public surface.
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 Songtrust 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 — Songtrust scores 17.7/100 (emerging), with a separate agent-readiness read of 0/100 (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 Songtrust
Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Songtrust. 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.
