I was super into grabbing the stream database they are using. (For my own personal wifi radio)

This page has an interesting behavior when used without a session key: http://data.radio.garden/live.json It returns stations but with fake/warning data.

   id	"radio-afghanistan"
   name	"This app is fake"
   website	"http://rta.org.af/"
   src	"http://radio.garden/public/fake-app-warning.mp3"

I guess they don't intend on opening any of this up

Use http://www.radio-browser.info/gui/#/ instead

That is fantastic. I was looking exactly for a list like that one to build a online radio player on a small headless board. Thankyou!

This is an awesome resource, exactly what I needed.

Thanks for posting it

Good DB, thanks! It sez:'Community-driven effort', 'Any help is appreciated!'

Found and updated a couple of my old 'missing in action' links, and added a couple of good ones they were missing.

My guess would be this was added after another app started hitting their endpoints? Otherwise there would be no point to doing it like this.
