Anchor FM was a podcast creation, hosting, distribution, and monetization platform founded in 2015 that let anyone record, edit, publish, and monetize a podcast for free from a phone or browser. Spotify acquired Anchor in 2019 and folded the product into Spotify for Podcasters, later rebranded Spotify for Creators; the anchor.fm domain now redirects to creators.spotify.com. Anchor never published a public developer API or developer portal, so this API Evangelist profile carries company identity and domain-security posture only. Originally surfaced as a portfolio company of Accel (consumer sector).
Anchor FM is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Consumer, Podcasting, Podcast Hosting, and Audio.
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.
Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/anchor-fm: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
