Tools

Notes

• All data comes from Deutschlandfunk's official RSS feeds (free, no key, no login).

• DLF pages are JS-app shells: article text is extracted from embedded js-client-queries JSON blobs (Article with ParagraphText blocks) — there is no JSON-LD and the visible <p> tags are navigation/topic descriptions, not the article body.

• The live stream URL 302-redirects to a signed CDN URL; dlf_listen_live reports the canonical URL plus its HEAD reachability.

• Podcast show listing is not a tool: the podcasts page's pathPodcast fields are section navigation links, not per-show feeds (show feeds exist per show as <slug>-100.rss but are not reliably enumerable from the page).

Tests: 23/23 green (16 offline + 7 live, 2026-11-10).
