Radio Browser API

healthy 3,984 Subscribers

Live access to the world's largest community-curated directory of internet radio stations, served from the open Radio Browser API — no key, nothing cached. Nearly 58,000 stations are submitted, tagged and voted on by listeners, and clicks are tracked, so the directory carries real engagement signals. The search endpoint finds stations by name, tag, country or language, each with its stream URL, homepage, favicon, codec and bitrate, tags, country and its vote and click counts. The top endpoint returns the trending stations — the most-voted or the most-clicked right now — the community's current favourites. The tag endpoint returns the stations for a genre or theme tag (jazz, news, lofi), the hashtag feed of radio. The stats endpoint returns the directory's live totals: how many stations, tags, languages and countries it holds and how many clicks happened in the last hour and day. Everything is live from Radio Browser, nothing stored. This is the internet-radio discovery layer for any music, player, streaming or media app. Distinct from on-demand music APIs — this is the live, community-voted directory of radio streams. 4 endpoints, no key on our side.

Mixcloud API

Mixcloud as an API — the home of long-form audio: DJ mixes, radio shows and podcasts, returned as clean JSON, no key. Search cloudcasts, users or tags; look up a user profile (followers, listens, location, picture) and their shows; get a cloudcast's full detail — play count, favourites, reposts, listener count, audio length, tags and uploader; read a show's comments; pull the trending cloudcasts for any tag or category; and list Mixcloud's categories. Live data straight from Mixcloud's public API. Distinct from track-based music APIs: Mixcloud is hour-long mixes, broadcast archives and shows — ideal for music-discovery apps, radio and DJ directories, podcast tools and audio dashboards. 8 data endpoints. Authenticated with an x-oanor-key; fair-use rate limits per plan.

NATO Phonetic Alphabet API

NATO phonetic alphabet conversion as an API, computed locally and deterministically. The spell endpoint turns any text into the international radiotelephony spelling alphabet used by aviation, the military, emergency services and call centres — letters become Alfa, Bravo, Charlie and so on (case-insensitive), digits use the ICAO forms (Niner for nine), spaces are marked, and unknown characters pass through — so SOS becomes “Sierra Oscar Sierra” and ABC123 becomes “Alfa Bravo Charlie One Two Three”. The decode endpoint reverses it, turning a string of phonetic words back into the original characters and accepting common spelling variants (Alpha or Alfa, X-ray or Xray, Juliet or Juliett, Nine or Niner), flagging any words it does not recognise. Everything is computed locally and deterministically, so it is instant and private. Ideal for aviation, radio, telecom, call-centre, customer-support, accessibility and voice app developers, spelling-out and read-back tools, and IVR systems. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant. Live, nothing stored. 2 endpoints. This is the NATO/ICAO spelling alphabet; for Morse code use a Morse API.

Airport Frequencies API

Airport radio communication frequencies as an API — 30,000+ frequencies at 11,000+ airports, from the OurAirports dataset. List every published frequency at an airport by ident (e.g. KJFK → Approach 125.7/127.4/132.4, ATIS, Tower, Ground, Clearance, …), or filter fleet-wide by type or exact frequency (e.g. find every airport using the emergency frequency 121.5). Each record carries the airport, frequency type (TWR, GND, ATIS, APP, CTAF, UNICOM, CNTR, …) with a readable name, the description and the frequency in MHz. Ideal for aviation radio, flight simulators, EFB, scanner and flight-planning apps.

Radio API

Search and explore over 50,000 internet and FM radio stations worldwide — a fast, clean wrapper over Radio Browser with automatic mirror failover. Find stations by name, country, language, genre tag or codec, sort by votes or popularity, fetch a single station by UUID with its stream URL, favicon and metadata, list the most-voted stations, browse all countries with station counts and discover the most popular genre/format tags. Every endpoint accepts input via the query string or the request body and returns lean, predictable JSON with the playable stream URL, bitrate, codec, tags and geo where available. Ideal for radio players, music and media apps, smart-speaker skills and directory features.
