API

From The RadioReference Wiki

RadioReference.com and Broadcastify provides a set of APIs for Webmasters and Application Developers to integrate data from radioreference.com and broadcastify into their own products. There are five different APIs currently available:

  • SOAP Based Web service for RadioReference Database Data
  • Broadcastify Audio Feed Catalog API
  • Broadcastify Feed Owner API
  • Javascript Remote Render Service for RadioReference Database Data
  • Broadcastify Calls Node Ingest API


The RadioReference Database Web Service

The RadioReference Database Web Service is an SOAP (Simple Object Application Protocol) XML based Web service which allows integration of applications and other Web services using RadioReference Database data. The API is completely free to use by developers, however and API key is required, and the end users must have an active premium subscription to access the data through the API.

Application developers can provide users complete access to RadioReference.com data through their own applications. From software applications to automatically program a user's scanner based on their location, to alternative display mechanisms of RadioReference data, the SOAP API provides all the methods needed to develop a robust and exciting set applications.

The Radioreference.com Database Web Service service is currently documented using the following WSDL:


Documentation and endpoint version information can be found here:


A list of applications that support the Web service and further details can be found at:

RadioReference.com_Web_Service.

An API key is required to utilize the Web service. If you wish to apply for an API key to get started developing applications to use RadioReference data, please submit a support request to us at support@radioreference.com and we will work with you to get an API key issued.

Broadcastify Audio Feed Catalog API

The Broadcastify Audio Feed Catalog API provides XML and JSON based directory services for all live audio feeds on Broadcastify.


NOTE: The broadcastify audio feed catalog API is only available to approved licensees. We are currently not issuing addtional licenses to mobile app developers at this time. If you are interested in developing an application or service that uses Broadcastify's live audio feeds, you will need access to this API, and we strongly encourage you to contact us directly at support@broadcastify.com with details on your plans to use the feed catalog API to integrate with your application.

Broadcastify Feed Owner API

Broadcastify Feed Owners have a freely available API to dynamically get statistics and status of their feeds.

The RadioReference Javascript Remote Render Display Service

The RadioReference Javascript remote render service allows web designers and web page developers to integrate data from the radioreference.com database into their own Web pages for free.

Broadcastify Node Ingest API

Broadcastify Calls is a high capacity service that ingests radio system calls.

Broadcastify Calls is different from regular broadcastify feeds as the calls platform captures every single call on a conventional or trunked system, as individual call files, and makes those calls available in real time and in archives. The API is available for 3rd party SDR applications to upload calls to the Broadcastify Calls Platform.
