# Bop.fm

**Canonical:** https://apis.io/providers/bopfm/  
**APIs profiled:** 0

Bop.fm was a music-sharing and playlist startup that let people share and play individual songs across streaming services — building a link for a track that would resolve to whichever service (Spotify, Deezer, SoundCloud, YouTube, Rdio) each listener used. Founded out of Y Combinator, it reportedly reached several million monthly listeners and raised roughly $2M before being acquihired by identity-protection company LifeLock in October 2015, at which point the website, mobile apps, and embedded players were shut down. The company is defunct: the bop.fm domain no longer serves the product (it now redirects to an unrelated parked site) and no developer portal, documentation, or API surface remains online. This profile is retained as a historical record within the API Evangelist network; there are no live API artifacts to enrich.
