Catalog

Catalog was a music distribution and direct-to-fan platform that let independent musicians sell digital downloads while keeping 100% of earnings, collect fan emails directly, split revenue with collaborators, run referral rewards, and control private, public, or scheduled releases with zero marketplace fees. The company has ceased operations - its homepage now shows a closure announcement - and it never published a public developer API, SDKs, or technical documentation.

Catalog is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Music, Music Distribution, Direct-to-Fan, and Independent Artists.

Catalog’s developer surface includes engineering blog and 1 more developer resources.
