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.

Artlist publishes 2 APIs on the APIs.io network: Enterprise Search API and Enterprise Download API. Tagged areas include Company, Music, Audio, Media, and Stock Media.

Artlist’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, developer console, getting-started guide, support, engineering blog, pricing, and 25 more developer resources.

Where this information came from

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.
