Radio Browser

Overview

Radio Browser aggregates 30,000+ internet radio stations — search by name/tag/country, get stream URLs, votes, and metadata. Keyless, CORS-enabled (verified live), and community-maintained: the standard source for radio directory apps and media players.

Rate Limits & Notes

• Free; the API is served from multiple community mirrors (de1., at1., nl1.…) — pick the nearest.
• hidebroken=true filters stations whose streams fail checks.
• url_resolved is the playable stream URL (after redirects) — use it for players.
• Station data includes favicon, tags, country, language, votes, and clickcount.

FAQ

Is Radio Browser free? Yes — free, keyless, CORS-enabled.

How do I play a station? Use url_resolved — it’s the final playable stream URL.

Which server should I use? Any mirror works (de1, at1, nl1…) — the /json/servers endpoint lists them.
