What is it?

This API provides the archive metadata (audio and image) from all SRGSSR business entities - SRF, RTS, RSI, RTR and SWI.

The SRG-SSR's request to open its archives serves as the basis for this API.

Use the received data on websites, in apps or other platforms.

Why use it?

Quick search in the video and audio database
Access to Tv channels and episodes of radio shows

How it works?

Archive metadata is being supplemented with enough Play metadata where correlations exist so that complete Play metadata can be requested.
