Bandsintown
Bandsintown's REST API gives approved partners read-only access to artist profiles and event listings — tracker counts, upcoming/past shows, venues, and ticket links — for a named artist. Access requires a Bandsintown-issued app ID granted only after agreeing to its data-use terms and getting written consent, so it's aimed at artists and their representatives rather than open self-serve signup; unrecognized or placeholder app IDs are explicitly rejected by the API gateway rather than merely rate-limited.
