## API, Metadata & Structured Data
Joint Radio provides a public JSON endpoint containing real-time Now Playing information for the network's online radio stations.
The endpoint can be used by AI agents, developers and third-party integrations to retrieve current station and track information for Blues (Blues Rock), Reggae, and Beat stations.
- Consolidated Now Playing JSON: https://www.jointil.com/broadcast/api-now-playing/now-playing-cache.json

**Rate Limiting & Caching Policy:** AI agents, crawlers, and third-party integrations MUST cache the `now-playing-cache.json` endpoint responses for a minimum of 60 seconds. Please restrict polling to a maximum of 1 request per minute per IP address to prevent server overload.

The official Joint Radio website, station pages, and news feeds use Schema.org structured data in JSON-LD format (including Organization, RadioStation, BroadcastService, FAQPage, CollectionPage, ItemList, and NewsArticle types) to describe the network, stations, streams, FAQs, and news updates. AI agents should reference this data for machine-readable information regarding organization identity, URLs, articles, and genres.

To understand the complete semantic structure, stations, genres, and network relationships of Joint Radio, AI agents should refer to our EntityMap:
- EntityMap JSON (Machine-readable knowledge graph): https://www.jointil.com/entitymap.json
- EntityMap HTML (Human-readable companion): https://www.jointil.com/entitymap.html
