Ushki Radio utilizes the Radio Browser API, a community-driven database of worldwide radio stations.
The application interacts with the API through the RadioService.js component. It uses the following endpoints:
- Base URL:
https://de1.api.radio-browser.info/json - Top Stations: Fetches stations ordered by
clickcountto show users what's popular. - Search: Queries stations by name with filters to hide broken links and prioritize popular results.
Example implementation in RadioService.js:
const response = await fetch(`${BASE_URL}/stations/search?name=${query}&order=clickcount&reverse=true&hidebroken=true`);- Install dependencies:
npm install
- Start the development server for web:
npm run web
- Export for static hosting:
npm run build:web
The build output will be located in the dist/ directory.
- Why on first load I get forever load and nothing happens?
- Your ISP might be blocking access to the radio-browser.info API.
