What is it?

The SRG-SSR Audio REST API allows you to get audio metadata from various business units (RSI, RTS, RTS, SRF, SWI).

The API delivers a list of audio objects filtered by search parameters that you provided. The API response contains a JSON definition of a playable asset, for example, a list of audio by tag, all the episodes of a show, or audios that expire soon.

If you want to play audio, you can use our player. It needs only the ID of the video you get by using the APIs. For more details on how to integrate and use the player in your HTML page, please visit our official link of the Letterbox: https://srgssr.github.io/marketing/letterbox/.
