Last.fm
Last.fm is the long-running music recommendation, scrobbling, and music-data service operated by CBS Interactive. Its Web Services 2.0 API (the AudioScrobbler API at ws.audioscrobbler.com/2.0/) exposes catalog data (artists, albums, tracks, tags), charts, geo-listening data, user listening history (recent tracks, top tracks/albums/artists, weekly charts), and the Scrobbling 2.0 write surface (track.scrobble, track.updateNowPlaying, track.love). Every operation is dispatched through a single endpoint via the `method` parameter (e.g. `method=user.getRecentTracks`). Authentication uses an API key for reads and a signed (`api_sig`) session-key flow for writes. The API is free for non-commercial use; commercial use requires a separate agreement via partners@last.fm.
Last.fm publishes 9 API contracts indexed on the APIs.io network, including Album API, Artist API, Auth API, and 6 more. Tagged areas include Music, Audio, Scrobbling, Recommendations, and Charts.
The Last.fm catalog on APIs.io includes 1 JSON-LD context and 2 Spectral governance rulesets.
Last.fm’s developer surface includes authentication, documentation, getting-started guide, API reference, signup flow, support, pricing, and 49 more developer resources.

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.
Standards this provider implements or carries. De facto ones are profiled and measured by the API Commons ; formal ones come from the standards directory and are linked by the provider's own tags. The evidence column says how each claim was established — not that it was made.
