Bintray Features

Universal Solution

As a universal distribution hub, Bintray offers native support for all major package formats in common use today. This means that Bintray maintains repositories dedicated to the specific format, indexes packages hosted and generates the metadata required to work transparently with the corresponding client.

Full Automation via REST API

Bintray offers a rich REST API through which you can connect your CI and development ecosystem to automate virtually any aspect of releasing your files for distribution to continuously update computer systems and devices. You can also import source files, readme and release notes directly from your GitHub account for user and release management. Searchable metadata ensures you get the right files for your builds and releases so you can automatically build, promote and release directly to Bintray for distribution.

Akamai CDN

Private Repositories

Bintray offers secure, private repositories that provide fine-grained access control over your packages. Manage Bintray users through organizations, teams and permissions. Give external users time-limited download privileges to specific files using signed URLs. For even greater control, manage entitlements and access keys that can even integrate with your existing authentication mechanisms. Bintray’s security capabilities give you the freedom to give access at any level - from a complete repository down to a specific file.

IP and Geo Restriction

While you want to expose your software for download in general, there are different scenarios in which you may need to block specific IP addresses or specific countries. Bintray meets those needs with IP Restriction and Geo Restriction.

Product & EULA Management

Distributing your software is necessary. That’s what Bintray is all about. But protecting your software is just as important. Bintray is very much about that too. Open source software is protected with the OSS license you use, but for commercial software (whether distributed for free or not) you need a EULA. To make EULA management easy, Bintray lets you collect all the related components of your software into a “Product”, and protect them with a single EULA which consumers must accept before they can use them.

Firehose Events API

Bintray’s Firehose Events API notifies you in real-time through a live stream about every upload, download and delete on any of your repositories, as well as successful and failed login attempts. These live notifications let you implement an appropriate response in real-time such as responding to a download with a follow-up email, or checking repository usage volume on each upload.

Audit Logs and Geo Analytics

Get deep user insights with advanced download stats that include domain, geolocation and user details down to the level of exactly who downloaded what from where and when. Use geo analytics to know the exact geographic distribution of your downloaders. View live logs in real time as users access your repositories, or download daily logs in CSV and Apache style formats.

Integration with Artifactory

As complementary products, Artifactory and Bintray form a continuum in the software delivery pipeline from development through distribution. Through this integration, Artifactory users can search for artifacts in JCenter and see detailed package information, and Artifactory’s distribution repository gives you fine-grained control over how artifacts are automatically pushed to Bintray based on any number of parameters.
