Integration Guide
Review the API Documentation
Visit the official Radio Browser documentation to understand available endpoints, request formats, and response structures. Familiarize yourself with the API's rate limits and usage policies before integration.
No Authentication Required
Good news — Radio Browser does not require any authentication. You can start making API requests directly without registering for an API key or setting up OAuth credentials.
Use HTTPS for Secure Requests
Radio Browser supports HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communication. Always use HTTPS endpoints in production to protect data in transit and comply with modern web security standards.
CORS Enabled — Direct Browser Access
Radio Browser has CORS enabled, meaning you can make requests directly from the browser. This is ideal for frontend-only applications built with React, Vue, or vanilla JavaScript.
Implement and Test
Write your API integration code, start with a simple test request to verify connectivity. Implement proper error handling for network failures, rate limits, and invalid responses. Monitor your API usage to stay within any limits.
Code Examples
JavaScript / Fetch API:
// JavaScript example
fetch("https://api.radio-browser.info/")
.then(response => {
if (!response.ok) {
throw new Error(`HTTP error! status: ${response.status}`);

return response.json();
})
.then(data => {
console.log("API response:", data);
})
.catch(error => {
console.error("Error fetching from Radio Browser:", error);

response = requests.get("https://api.radio-browser.info/")
