About Yanks Registry

Yanks Registry is a moderated, public catalog of audio software: vendors, their products, the plugin formats they ship, the identifiers those plugins carry, known releases and where to find them.

It is the public part of Yanks (Yet Another Needed Kit Software), a local-first inventory of the audio software on your machine. Yanks works completely without the registry; with it enabled, it downloads this catalog and recognizes your plugins by their identifiers on your computer. The registry never learns what you have installed. Download Yanks for macOS and Windows.

How data gets here

Contributors and moderators enter vendors, products and releases as drafts; Scout, the registry's source monitor, proposes new releases it finds in vendors' feeds and on news sites. Only what a moderator publishes appears on this site and in the API. Every change is recorded with who made it and when.

API

A read-only JSON API serves the same published data to Yanks (see the terms of use):

• GET /api/v1/vendors
• GET /api/v1/products
• GET /api/v1/releases
• GET /api/v1/products/{id}
• GET /api/v1/products/{id}/sources

The lists are paged (cursor, limit) and can return only what changed (updated_since, RFC 3339, including removed entries as {"id": "...", "deleted": true}). Requests are rate-limited per address.

Terms of use

The data of Yanks Registry — vendors, products, plugin identifiers, releases, URLs and the catalog as a whole — may be used only with the Yanks software. Scraping, copying or using the data in other software, services or cloud solutions, in particular commercial ones, is not permitted. Browsing this website is, of course, fine.

For a commercial license, please write to mail@teruna.com.

Privacy

The public site and the API set no cookies and need no account. The server logs requests (path, status, address) for operation and abuse protection. Moderators sign in with a session cookie. The full privacy policy (German) is the Datenschutzerklärung of yetano.app, which also runs this catalog; the provider's details are in the Impressum.
