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.
Beatport is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Music, Electronic Music, Dance Music, DJ, and Music Store.
Beatport’s developer surface includes authentication, pricing, GitHub presence, YouTube channel, and 28 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):
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
A2A Agent Card+8 pts — a2a/-a2a.yml manifest, graded on conformance.grade against A2A 1.0.0
12 more unmet checks in the Agent Readiness table above.
Kin Score — facets with the most composite points still available (weight × headroom):
The Kin Score Market layer reads a provider inside its market:
its position, and how deep its integrations go. Depth is only comparable within a position. Provisional and unweighted:
not part of the Kin Score or agent readiness.
Registered MCP server and declares compatibility are report only — not weighted.
Undeclared means we found nothing we can read, so there is no number: we never infer integrations.
