Overview
Radio Browser is a free, community-driven database of internet radio stations from around the world. The API requires no authentication and lets you search stations by name, country, language, or genre. It's one of the friendliest APIs for beginners and supports cross-origin requests.
Beginner Tip
Use the search endpoint at /json/stations/search with query parameters like name, country, or language to find stations — avoid listing all stations at once as there are over 30,000 in the database.
Available Data
The kind of data this API exposes, based on its documentation. We could not call the endpoint to confirm the exact field names.
Example Response
Illustrative shape only — we were not able to call this endpoint (it requires credentials or exposes no public sample URL), so the fields below show the kind of data this API returns rather than a recorded response.
