                <p>Icecast provides extensive run time statistics. Both in the form of active connection numbers and cumulative
counters (since server startup or respectively source connection startup).</p>
<h1 id="html-interface">HTML Interface</h1>
<p>Icecast comes with a HTML web interface, it exposes a basic set of server statistics that should
fulfil basic user needs. Icecast uses the very powerful libxslt engine to transform its internal
raw statistical data into custom tailored interfaces.<br />
Many people have written custom XSLT code that produces e.g. plain text “now playing”, XSPF, VCLT,
munin interface data, etc. If so desired, the files in webroot can be customized to contain more or less
information (see section on raw XML data below).</p>
<div class="admonition attention">
<p class="admonition-title">Attention</p>
<p><strong>We strongly discourage attempts to scrape data from the web interface</strong> as we do not consider this an
API and will change it, even completely, between versions! The preferred ways are custom XSLT, JSON and raw XML.</p>
</div>
<h1 id="json-stats">JSON Stats</h1>
<p>Since version 2.4.0 Icecast includes a basic JSON endpoint (<code>/status-json.xsl</code>) based on a xml2json template by Doeke Zanstra
(see <code>xml2json.xslt</code>). It exposes the same set of server statistics that are available through the web interface and
should fulfil basic user needs. The intention is to not break backwards compatibility of this interface in the future, 
still we recommend to design robust software that can deal with possible changes like addition or removal of variables.
Also note that not all variables are available all the time and availability may change at runtime due to stream type, etc.</p>
<h1 id="available-xml-data">Available XML data</h1>
<p>This section contains information about the raw XML server statistics data available inside Icecast. An example
stats XML tree will be shown and each element will be described. The following example stats tree will be used:  </p>
<pre><code class="xml">&lt;icestats&gt;

    &lt;client_connections&gt;649&lt;/client_connections&gt;
