Audacy publishes no public developer API, OpenAPI definition, AsyncAPI, JSON Schema, SDK, or CLI. The github.com/audacy organization exists but holds no public repositories (and points to an unrelated Paris-based organization, not Audacy, Inc.).
Programmatic integration with Audacy is brokered through:
- Partner ad-tech platforms (Amazon DSP, Adswizz-style programmatic exchanges)
- The Amperwave platform (sales-led integration for broadcasters)
- Standard per-show podcast RSS feeds for content syndication
As a result, this repo intentionally does not ship openapi/, asyncapi/, json-schema/, capabilities/, rules/, or examples/ directories — there is no public spec material to back them.
