Streams & Stations
First, create an account and an organization. Once your organization is approved, you can register your stream with a URL, name, and tags via "Add Stream" in the dashboard.
RadioReg supports all common audio streaming formats, including MP3, AAC, and OGG/Vorbis. Your stream must be available via a publicly accessible HTTP/HTTPS URL.
An organization is a group that manages one or more streams. It can be a radio station, a network, or a solo project. Every stream belongs to an organization.
You can send metadata either via webhook directly from AzuraCast or by using our API. Our partner atomicradio has built an open-source tool for this:
github.com/atomicradio/atomicradio-radioregAPI & Technical
The RadioReg API is publicly and freely accessible. For advanced features like managing your streams, you need an API token, which you can find in your organization's dashboard.
For fair use, there are no strict rate limits. We simply ask for responsible use of the API. In case of excessive usage, we reserve the right to restrict access.
Our Discord bot can be invited to your server with a single click. Using slash commands, you can play RadioReg stations directly in voice channels and control playback.
