88rising (stylized 88 with a rising arrow) is an American mass media company and record label founded in 2015 by Sean Miyashiro, headquartered in Los Angeles and New York with a division in Shanghai. It describes itself as a hybrid management, record label, video production and marketing company, and is known for building a global platform for Asian and Asian American artists including Rich Brian, NIKI, Joji and Keith Ape. Beyond recorded music it operates the Head in the Clouds festival franchise and the 88 Night Market live and commerce brand. It is a media and entertainment company rather than a software company: it publishes no developer program, no public API documentation and no machine-readable specifications.
88rising is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Media, Entertainment, Music, and Record Label.
88rising’s developer surface includes engineering blog, YouTube channel, and 9 more developer resources.
Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the
Horizontal (data, software, accessibility, platform) regime, so
Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite.
If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your
provider repo — the
applicability map is public and we will correct it.
Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for
this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero:
never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and
several others — scorable at all.
The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them,
because the conditional facet above carries the other
15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped
maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal
weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

Agent readiness — checks not met, largest first (exact, from this profile):
Machine-Readable Auth+10 pts — a served openid-configuration/oauth-authorization-server carrying `issuer` (served), else the securitySchemes class in the provider OpenAPIs — bound (mutualTLS, DPoP, Signature) > negotiable (oauth2 authorizationCode/clientCredentials, openIdConnect) > bearer (http bearer, apiKey)
Idempotency+9 pts — OpenAPI mutating operations declare an idempotency key — a header, a request-body property, or a named de-duplication token whose own description says so (verified); else common[].type matches /idempoten/i (documented)
Stable Error Semantics+8 pts — OpenAPI $refs a shared error schema across 4xx/5xx responses (verified), else common[].type includes ErrorCatalog / ErrorCodes / DeclineCodes
13 more unmet checks in the Agent Readiness table above.

detail: '88rising is a record label and mass media company, not a software vendor — the only publicly reachable API on any
of its hosts is the undocumented Strapi v4 CMS backend at api.88rising.com/api that renders its own Angular website (five
anonymous read endpoints: /cards, /footer, /privacy-policy, /terms-of-service, /findOneShopify), and every /openapi.json,
/swagger.json, /documentation and /.well-known/ probe against that host returned a genuine JSON 404.'
