Pandora API Developer Account

In looking at the Developer API link, it seems that you are not accepting new requests for accounts. Is there any other way to get started with this effort besides having a Pandora Developer account?

I am the author of 2 different media player integrations for Home Assistant, and would like to take a crack at adding a Pandora media player integration. There seems to be quite a bit of interest in a Pandora service for Home Assistant, so I thought I would pursue it.

I currently offer Pandora access through my Bose SoundTouch media player integration, but it's severely limited to the underlying Bose application (basic player functions, "My Stations" retrieval, etc).

I am well versed in API's, OAuth authentication, etc, as that is what my Bose SoundTouch and Spotify media players currently provide for Home Assistant. The Pandora API GraphQL language seems pretty straightforward, and I would be writing a wrapper API for it in Python.

Also, I have found references on the web about a JSON 5 / REST Pandora API; is that still in use / supported?

Please advise, and I appreciate your time.

Hi @thlucas

Wonderful to hear that you're interested in integrating Pandora into your product. Unfortunately, the Community team has little insight into this, and I believe Pandora isn't currently exploring partnerships at the moment.

However, I have forwarded your post to the appropriate internal teams and notified them of your interest in using Pandora.

Thank you for taking the time to reach out.
