Love this kind of project, honestly. Feels way more real than most AI wrapper stuff. Just wondering how stable the Pandora API ended up being after reverse-engineering it.
I appreciate you for sharing how this feels more real. That makes me smile. As for the Pandora API, surprisingly pretty stable. The JSON api is 10-13 years old from what I can tell and still functional. It can do mostly everything. The new REST endpoints are more recent, so I suppose it depends on if they change features. The station modes are fairly new I believe.
Make sense.
A lot of these 10+ year old APIs end up surprisingly durable also because so many existing clients still depend on them.
Thank you!
Wrote this in C#. I came up with an architecture that made sense in my head, did some research and reverse-engineered the new Pandora Modes API, and wrote some basic skeleton code. With the help of Kilo Code, GPT 5.5 (and Gemini) as a programming buddy, I was able to build this, learn about Windows GUI oddities, and fix my annoyance.
Feedback is welcome and appreciated. And if you know of anyone looking for someone like me, I'd love to connect: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/lennychase_github-lennyxcpand...
