webradio-metadata
Advanced tools
Collection of urls and parsing scripts to fetch metadata about what is being broadcast on several webradios. Provides for each radio:
Code is JS only.
Note that this module gets the information from the radio websites, as most radios have a website indicating what is being broadcast live.
It could have been possible to parse ICY metadata, but it is missing or broken in most situations.

require("webradio-metadata").getMeta(country, name, function(errors, parsedData, corsEnabled) { ... });
require("webradio-metadata").getAll(function(results) { ... });
This project uses Node.JS scripts. Code cannot be run in the browser because some of the urls fetched do not have the CORS HTTP header Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *. Ressource loading would be blocked by the browser.
You are welcome to submit a PR to add a new recipe for a radio or to fix a current recipe. Three strategies have been used to write the recipes:
When you have identified how to extract the data, you need to have a look at two files:
parsers/COUNTRY/index.jsExample syntax with COUNTRY=France and NAME=Fun Radio:
[
...
{ name: "Fun Radio", url: "https://www.funradio.fr/direct", parser: require("./RTL2") },
...
The name field should match the corresponding entry in the radio browser wiki.
The url field is the path to the ressource to load.
The parser field indicates the path to the parsing script. It is most often named as the radio itself, but can be another one, when the syntax for the other radio is the same.
parsers/COUNTRY/NAME.jsSample:
"use strict";
const axios = require("axios");
module.exports = async function(exturl) {
try {
const req = await axios.get(exturl);
const parsedResult = req.data;
// const artist = ???
// const title = ???
// const cover = ???
return { artist, title, cover };
} catch (error) {
return { error };
}
}
