FM radio isn't online... are you sure your'e not referring to internet radio? – Hydrothorax

yes radio are not online , but most of the FM station have there public address to listen there broadcasting. I want to know if there is a way to find these address. – Anissaanita

Ah, I understand... you're looking for a directory of internet radio stations? The SHOUTcast directory is still the largest, but won't contain everything. – Hydrothorax

I've been looking into this in 2022, and wanted to share a potential option for others who are pulling their hair out.

This API has actually turned out to be great! There is some management that needs to be done for dead streams still, and invalid urls, but overall it was a breeze to implement. I reccomend especially as a quick way to implement music into web applications.
