Pony.fm currently has an undocumented API for use by radios but it could use some improvement. A "v2" of the radio API should be written that features the following:

  • OAuth 2.0 authentication with Poniverse.net
  • leaves out tracks that aren't licensed for redistribution
  • provides an easy way to grab metadata in a batch for all redistributable tracks
    • also provides a way to grab metadata for new tracks or tracks that have been updated since a given point in time (to minimize re-processing on the radio station's end)
  • allows retrieving of a single track's metadata by ID
  • guarantees that every track has a title, artist, and cover art
  • allows radio stations to notify Pony.fm whenever they play a track (so we can collect and display this data)
  • is publicly documented

Also, important, add a "reverse ID", which allows a fuzzy search to get an ID and details for a track.
