Songza exposes some of its functionality via an Application Programming Interface (API). This document is a reference for that functionality, and aims to serve as a reference for developers building tools that talk to Songza. 

Rate Limiting

Currently, Songza is not imposing any limitations on the number of requests that can be made to the API. That said, please play nice. Feeds only update once every 15 minutes, so there's little advantage to polling more often than that. Thanks in advance for being nice to our servers...
