Is the DistriBeats API available now?

Rising Label (₹9,999 / $129 a year, up to 15 artists and up to 24 manual releases per artist a year) and Macro Label workspaces. API access is granted per workspace by our team after the Enterprise agreement is signed.
Can I buy the DistriBeats API online?
No. There is no checkout for the API. Request beta access on this page, our team reviews your Rising Label or Macro Label workspace, you sign a separate Enterprise agreement, and we then enable API access for your workspace.
Can I build a music distribution app with AI coding tools?
Yes. DistriBeats publishes an OpenAPI 3.1 spec and a plain-text llms.txt guide written for AI coding assistants, so you can scaffold a full distribution app from a single prompt.
How large can uploaded audio files be?
An assembled master can be up to 150 MB. Any single request over 95 MiB must use chunked uploads, which DistriBeats reassembles and stores with the correct audio format.
Does the API support DDEX?
Yes. Approved releases expose DDEX ERN 3.8.2 and 4.2 feeds, compiled once and served from edge storage for instant downloads.

Every webhook is signed with HMAC-SHA256 using your endpoint secret and carries a timestamp header, so you can verify authenticity and reject replays.
