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.
