BitTorrent

BitTorrent is the company behind the BitTorrent peer-to-peer file-sharing protocol and the uTorrent and BitTorrent desktop and web torrent clients, one of the most widely deployed distributed content-delivery technologies on the internet. Now part of the TRON ecosystem, BitTorrent also operates BitTorrent Chain (BTTC) — a layer-2 proof-of-stake cross-chain scaling and interoperability network bridging TRON, Ethereum, and BSC — along with the BTT token, the BTFS decentralized storage layer, and BitTorrent Speed. Its developer surface spans the local uTorrent Web UI API for controlling torrent clients and the BitTorrent Chain developer documentation for building on the BTTC network. Surfaced as a portfolio company of dcm-ventures and enriched into the API Evangelist network.

BitTorrent is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Consumer, File Sharing, Torrent, and Peer-to-Peer.

BitTorrent’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, support, engineering blog, and 5 more developer resources.

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/bittorrent: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
