Automation Systems

You can connect a radio automation system to Creek in order to supply music information.

Tutorials

Here are tutorials for a few common automation systems:

• RadioDJ
• MegaSeg
• Radiologik
• Simian
• Not on the list? Just ask! We'll figure it out.

Other automation systems

Most automation systems have a way to send out the current song info.

Creek has a universal interface, called an API, that lets you connect any automation system — as long it can send HTTP requests with song info each time it plays a song.

By GET requests

http://station-name.creek.fm/api/tracks/add?key=YOUR-STATION-API-KEY&artist=ARTIST&title=TITLE&album=ALBUM&label=LABEL

1. Modify the ARTIST and TITLE etc. fields so that they use the "variable" syntax of your automation system.

2. Replace YOUR-STATION-API-KEY with your API key.

By POST request

http://station-name.creek.fm/api/tracks/add

1. Include the track information (artist, title, etc.) in the POST data.

2. Include your API key in the POST data as: key
