View OpenAPI Document

Jentic publishes the only available OpenAPI document for Beatport API, keeping it validated and agent-ready.

Jentic publishes the only available OpenAPI specification for Beatport API, keeping it validated and agent-ready. Beatport is the leading dance and electronic music store for DJs, with a catalog API that exposes tracks, releases, artists, labels, charts, and genres. The API surfaces 11 read-only catalog endpoints under /catalog, letting integrators search, filter, and retrieve metadata such as BPM, key, genre, and release dates for music discovery, charting, and DJ tooling. Authentication uses an OAuth bearer token in the Authorization header.

Use Cases

Patterns agents use Beatport API API for, with concrete tasks.

★ DJ tooling and harmonic mixing apps

DJ software pulls BPM and Camelot key data from Beatport so users can build harmonically compatible sets and filter by tempo. Tracks endpoints return BPM, key, genre, and length per track, and releases endpoints supply cover art and label context. The catalog is the de facto reference for electronic music metadata, so integrators get cleaner harmonic data than from general streaming APIs.

Fetch the Beatport track 19287321 and return its BPM, key, genre, and label so a DJ tool can place it in a harmonic-mix queue

Label and artist discovery dashboards

A&R teams and label managers use the Beatport API to monitor releases, label rosters, and chart positions for their roster and competitors. The Releases and Labels endpoints support paged queries with release-date filters, and the Charts endpoint returns the canonical Beatport Top 100 lists per genre so teams can track week-over-week movement.

List the past 7 days of releases on label ID 33421 sorted by release date and report any that entered a Beatport Top 100 chart

Genre-aware music recommendation feeds

Streaming and discovery apps generate genre-specific recommendation feeds by combining Beatport's genre taxonomy with track-level filters. The /catalog/genres endpoint returns the canonical genre list, and /catalog/tracks supports filtering by genre slug, BPM range, and date so apps can surface fresh tech house, drum and bass, or melodic techno picks without manual curation.

Build a feed of new tech-house tracks released in the past 14 days between 122 and 128 BPM and return the top 25 results

AI agent integration for music research

Music journalists, label scouts, and creator-tool builders use AI agents through Jentic to pull Beatport data on demand without writing API code. The agent searches Jentic for the right operation, loads the schema, and executes with a bearer token held in the Jentic vault, returning structured catalog data the agent can summarise or chart.

Through Jentic, find Beatport's track search operation and return the 10 most-charting tech house tracks of the past month with BPM and key

Why though Jentic?

Three things that make agents converge on Jentic-routed access.

Credential isolation

The Beatport bearer token is stored encrypted in the Jentic vault. Jentic injects the Authorization header at execution time, so the token never enters agent context.

Intent-based discovery

Agents search Jentic by intent (e.g. find tech house tracks released this week or get a Beatport chart) and Jentic returns the matching catalog operation with its input schema, so the agent calls /catalog/tracks or /catalog/charts/{chartId} without browsing docs.

Time to first call

Direct Beatport integration: half a day to wire bearer auth and pagination over 11 endpoints. Through Jentic: under 30 minutes — search, load schema, execute.

Related APIs

Alternatives and complements available in the Jentic catalogue.

Alternative

Spotify

Broader streaming catalog covering all genres; alternative when DJ-grade BPM and key data are not required.

Choose Spotify when the agent needs general music metadata, audio features, or playback rather than the dance-music focus and DJ chart data Beatport specialises in.

Complementary

SoundCloud

Creator-uploaded audio platform with DJ mixes and unreleased tracks beyond Beatport's commercial catalog.

Use SoundCloud alongside Beatport when the agent needs DJ mixes, edits, or upcoming-artist tracks not yet in the commercial catalog.

Complementary

MusicBrainz

Open-source music metadata database covering recordings, releases, and artist relationships across all genres.

Use MusicBrainz when the agent needs canonical recording IDs (MBIDs), cross-genre coverage, or historical release linkage that Beatport's commercial catalog does not cover.

FAQs

Specific to using Beatport API API through Jentic.

Why is there no official OpenAPI spec for Beatport API?

Beatport does not publish an OpenAPI specification. Jentic generates and maintains this spec so that AI agents and developers can call Beatport API via structured tooling. It is validated against the live API and kept up to date. Get started at https://app.jentic.com/sign-up.

What authentication does the Beatport API use?

Beatport uses HTTP bearer authentication. You obtain a bearer token from Beatport's developer programme and pass it as Authorization: Bearer <token> on every catalog request. Jentic stores the token in its vault and injects the header at execution time so it never enters agent context.

Can I get BPM and musical key for a track via the Beatport API?

Yes. GET /catalog/tracks/{trackId} returns the full track object including BPM and musical key, alongside genre, label, length, and credited artists or remixers. The /catalog/tracks search endpoint also supports BPM-range filtering for harmonic-mix workflows.

How do I retrieve a Beatport chart through Jentic?

Search Jentic for get a Beatport chart track list to find GET /catalog/charts/{chartId}. Load the schema and execute with the chart ID returned by GET /catalog/charts. The response contains the ordered track list and chart metadata.

Does the Beatport API support pagination and date filters on releases?

Yes. GET /catalog/releases accepts page, per_page, and release-date range query parameters, plus filters by label and artist. Use these together to paginate through a label's recent releases or a date-bound new-music feed.

What are the rate limits for the Beatport API?

Beatport does not publish rate limits in the spec; they are governed by your developer agreement. If you receive HTTP 429 responses, back off and retry with exponential delay, and contact Beatport's developer programme to confirm headroom for production use.

Is the Beatport API only for read operations on the catalog?

This spec exposes read-only catalog endpoints across tracks, releases, artists, labels, charts, and genres. There are no write or commerce endpoints in this surface; purchase, library, and account features are not available through this API.
