radiofrance

The goal of the R package radiofrance is to retrieve Radio France (France Inter, France Culture, etc.) podcasts metadata (date, title, mp3 URL and and duration). User can easily download metadata for any podcast. The name of the podcast must be extracted from the website URL (e.g. Le Moment Meurice must be written as le-moment-meurice).

Installation

You can install the development version from GitHub with:

remotes::install_github("ahasverus/radiofrance")

Then you can attach the package radiofrance:

library("radiofrance")

Usage

podcast_name <- "la-chronique-de-waly-dia"


## Retrieve episodes information ----

tab <- get_metadata(podcast_name, radio = "franceinter")


## Create a M3U playlist ----

create_m3u(tab, podcast_name)

The m3u file can be open with VLC to stream all episodes. To retrieve new episodes, just re-run the functions get_metadata() and create_m3u().
