Retrieve the EBS broadcast schedule for a given date. Returns all programs across EBS and/or EBS+ channels with full metadata including titles, summaries, livestream/VOD URLs (HLS and DASH), video/audio tracks, subtitles, broadcast status, locations, and institutional affiliations.

}About the Europa API
The Europa API on Parse exposes 1 endpoint for the publicly available data on audiovisual.ec.europa.eu. Calls return JSON over HTTPS and are billed per successful response.
Pin a release with the API-Snapshot-Version header so canonical updates don't silently change your contract.
