API stopped working?

[daniele-athome]

I can't find any news on the Internet, but did the API stopped working?

Same here...

Well, in this thread radio.net support told me we are using here deprecated API, it was matter of time it will be gone.

[miskor-bgd]

@kokosowy I found out your post while searching the github but I simply didn't believe it would happen on my first ever mopidy installation with radionet extension, damn...

[kokosowy]

@miskor-bgd I know how you feel, bro. Mopidy-RadioNet was pretty neat. I hope @plintx @TrollDecker or miesli will figure something out. In the meantime you can browse https://mopidy.com/ext/ for other solution, perhaps Mopidy-TuneIn will suit you well.

I've done a bit of debugging. Seems that there is no
'apiKey ?: ?[\'|"](.*)[\'|"],?'
regex in the http response to the https://api.radio.net/info/v2

At first glance, the issue is not hard to resolve, the question is what's the meaning of the apiKey ? I suppose that this is a token for the connection to the radio.net...

[TrollDecker]

My understanding was that the API key was provided by radio.net when the Mopidy plugin registered itself to the service and would then be saved in that apiKey field.

I can't check at the mo myself, but it does look like the API might have finally been shuttered if it can't get one, and like @kokosowy said, it was only a matter of time anyway. 🙁

It's a shame, because TuneIn isn't a viable option in the UK anymore (Warner et al threw a tantrum and a lawyer at them over allowing people to listen to international stations), but that's another matter.😒

[MiKiL75]

It seems that API key is still available but it is bit buried in the code.
It is now in file: https://www.radio.net/_next/static/chunks/3-742de185a8222d3ddab4.js
In that file, there is code that creates embedded player with all the needed information, that code has "data-apikey" variable.

Tested loading topstations in browser (https://api.radio.net/info/v2/search/topstations?apikey=) with that "data-apikey"-value and seems to work.

[Emrvb]

I've been investigating this issue as well and found that this addon is not really nice with its API access. It's really hammering it with unnecessary and redundant requests. I'm willing to refactor this, but would like to know the demand first. Is there any advantage to radio.de compared to tunein? (haven't tried tunein myself yet)

Edit:

Read TrollDeckers comment, so there is demand from users in the UK. Anything else?

[kokosowy]

Hi @MiKiL75 @Emrvb nice to hear from you. It's a relief API is still there, but way accessing it changed a little, I thought it's worse.

Definitely this module is very nice to have. Both have differences regarding radio stations catalogue and also as far as I know TuneIn has some regional limitations.

Thank you for looking at it.

I run into exactly the same problem. The very first call from the MPD client to my server gives this exception.

I hope that #18 will solve this, because at the moment the extension doesn't work for me.

So... this is not working anymore? This have a lot of radio from my country... so sad.

Have you checked #18 by Emrvb? It does work for me at the moment and I've been using it in my raspi4 radio.

[kokosowy]

I don’t understand why that pull request was not merged so far. It fixes the problem. Everybody who try extension see it’s just not working and people install other one.
