Good question. I've talked to a few people a month or so ago about a properly supported public facing API to our schedule data. The summary is that there is a desire to do it, but there is no definite timescale (yet). > On the particular issue of streams it fascinates me that there seem to be > so many - I presume the feeds listed by the API are somehow different from > the main site feeds (Radio 1 has been down for quite a while now). This is easier. The API was set up a while ago and we entered the streams as they stood at the time. Due to us mainly using the data and multicast streams, we haven't tracked the changes in the unicast streams. Sorry. So do let us know when you find things going wrong, we're not always aware of them. When I get a chance I'll update the streams.
