Fanburst

@iamchrismiller1 Hey Everyone! A few more things :) - We have only just come out of beta but already have a huge music library! Some of our favorite artists have already signed up and regularly use Fanburst. - Our API is open and allows you to instantly generate an API key. Other music APIs require registration and a lengthy approval process before you can start building. We want developers to use our API and library to build new listening experiences on desktop and mobile. Here is a link to check it out: https://developers.fanburst.com - It’s free for artists and fans, our monetisation plans don’t include ads or charging our users.

@iamchrismiller1 @yuddidit What is the limit on API usage?

@griffellab There is no limit on streams through our API. We want to help artists reach as many fans as possible and this means we need to allow developers to build large apps on our platform.

@iamchrismiller1 awesome!

@iamchrismiller1 You guys have grown so fast, what were some of the lessons you learned and wisdom you can pass on to others growing a marketplace/or community?

@chrisunderdown Thanks Chris! We don't have any stream limits on our API. In my opinion limiting daily plays effectively kills any third party ecosystem you can hope to build. We are committed to keeping our API limit free, our only request is you properly credit and link to the artist's profile and that you don't rip the streams.

@loickm Hey Loïck! I think the biggest difference is our focus on artist uploaded content, we want to be closer to a Youtube of music VS Soundcloud or Spotify. We want artists to have full control over their Fanburst profiles and what they choose to share with their fans. Both an Android and iOS app are in the works :)

(@loickm @iamchrismiller1) I really like the distinction in the origin of the uploaded content...
