Capabilities

Tools 9

add_podcast

Add a podcast from a public podcast directory to OndaCast, by the directoryId that search_podcasts returned in notOnOndaCastYet. This creates the show's OndaCast page and is the only tool that changes anything. It takes no web address: only directory ids such as itunes-123 or pi-456. Additions are limited per client and per day.

Discovered
catalog_facts

Get verifiable facts about OndaCast: what it offers and how large the catalogue is, as figures rounded down and refreshed weekly, with links to its main pages.

Discovered
get_charts

Get OndaCast's live song or artist chart, counted from what stations played, for the last 24 hours or 7 days, worldwide or for one country. Returns ranked entries with plays and OndaCast page links.

Discovered
get_podcast

Get one podcast from OndaCast by slug or OndaCast page address: author, description, language, category, its latest episodes with OndaCast page links, and the show's OndaCast page.

Discovered
get_station

Get one radio station from OndaCast by slug or OndaCast page address: description, location, genres, language, frequency, the song playing now and the show on air when known, and the OndaCast page for listening. Stations that cannot play in a browser are not available. It is for listening to or playing a station: the answer links to the station's OndaCast page.

Discovered
radio_guide_now

Search the public-domain audiobooks in the OndaCast catalogue by title or topic, with an optional language filter. Returns up to `limit` audiobooks with an OndaCast page link.

Discovered
search_podcasts

Search podcasts in the OndaCast catalogue by title or topic, with an optional language filter. Returns up to `limit` shows with an OndaCast page link. When OndaCast has no match, it may list shows from a public podcast directory that are not on OndaCast yet; the add_podcast tool can add one.

Discovered
search_stations

Search live radio stations in the OndaCast catalogue by name, with optional country, genre and language filters. Returns up to `limit` stations with an OndaCast page link for listening. It is for finding a station to listen to or play: each result links to the station's OndaCast page. Only stations that play in a web browser over a secure connection are listed. Country, genre and language use the English names shown in OndaCast's filters.
