Bandcamp
Bandcamp's API is a closed B2B integration for labels and merchandise-fulfillment partners, covering account details, sales reporting, and merch order management rather than public catalog browsing. Access isn't self-serve: getting credentials means emailing Bandcamp directly with a description of the intended use, and authentication runs on OAuth 2.0 client-credentials with hour-long access tokens refreshed via a refresh token. Responses are JSON, and there's no listed fee — the gate is the partner relationship, not a price.
AuthenticationOAuthRequires an OAuth flow; expect app registration.
HTTPSSupportedTraffic is encrypted in transit.
CORSDisabledBrowser calls need a server-side proxy.
