When beatport gives me an API like the eBay API, then I'll be satisfied.
They do have a pretty robust API for their services - it just isn't public. My thought is that they and the artists they serve up are a little worried about security, rights etc. Of course I don't actually work at Beatport so I don't know their true motives - also they are a relatively small company so I'm sure resource allocation for projects can be interesting. Just my 2 cents though.
