Answers to Typical Development Questions

This lists answers to most common general questions. Also available are separate FAQs for issues specific to what’s in the guide and streaming/playback.

Do I need a partner ID?

Technically, no. But without one, you will be limited to a certain number of queries per day and will lose features like analytics reporting, profile customization, presets access, and many more.

I need some data that isn’t the API, how can I get it?

We enhance the APIs on a regular basis. Please contact development@radiotime.com with your request and we will let you know if we can accommodate it.

Do you have any sample SDKs?

Not yet! We are, however, working on more code samples and will post them here as they become available.

How do we show the best results big categories?

Internet radio is huge – tens of thousands of options. Really. Users don’t want to scan enormous lists of content, so we focused on creating a intelligent sort order. The guide optimizes for location, language, rating, stream compatibility, even editorial factors in generating every list. The best stuff will always show first!

Are logos all the same size?

Yes, an artist updates each logo for consistency. You can choose from the following sizes and formats:

gif images have a white background and no transparency, png images are on transparent background
