A Java API for the RadioBrowser internet radio station online repository.
The library is useful for applications wanting to retrieve internet radio station URLs, streams and meta information.
A detailed introduction on how to use the library can be found in Radiobrowser4j - A Java API for Internet radio stations.
First step is to include the dependency in your Maven or Gradle project. For Maven, you need this dependency:
<dependency>
<groupId>de.sfuhrm</groupId>
<artifactId>radiobrowser4j</artifactId>
<version>3.4.0</version>
</dependency>The library works well with Android projects simply by referencing the library within the build.gradle
implementation 'de.sfuhrm:radiobrowser4j:3.4.0'If Proguard or R8 code shrinking and obfuscation is being used, then the following entries should be added to the Proguard configuration file (usually proguard-rules.pro):
-dontwarn lombok**
-keep class de.sfuhrm.radiobrowser4j.** { *; }
-keepattributes Signature
-keep class com.google.gson.reflect.TypeToken { *; }
-keep class * extends com.google.gson.reflect.TypeToken
After adding the dependency, you can start by creating one instance and using it
// discover endpoint
String myAgent = "www.superradioplayer.com";
Optional<String> endpoint = new EndpointDiscovery(myAgent).discover();
// build instance
RadioBrowser radioBrowser = new RadioBrowser(
ConnectionParams.builder().apiUrl(endpoint.get()).userAgent(myAgent).timeout(5000).build());
// list stations
radioBrowser.listStations(ListParameter.create().order(FieldName.NAME))
.limit(64)
.forEach(s -> System.out.printf("%s: %s%n",
s.getName(),
s.getUrl()
));You can take a look at the javadoc documentation to get the full concepts of the API.
The library was extracted from an internet radio player and recorder program in Java, radiorecorder. You can take a look at real-life usage patterns there.
The API is tested using the WireMock REST testing framework. Mocked web requests/responses are located in the test resources.
