How this service works
Pay-per-call structured web data. Failed or empty runs are not charged.
Output
Returns a JSON object with a count of results and an array of episode items. Each item includes fields such as podcastId, podcastName, episodeId, episodeTitle, episodeGuid, episodeNumber, season, author, and additional show metadata (genres, country, language, description) when fetchShowMetadata is enabled. The product field confirms 'apple-podcasts'. Failed or empty runs are not billed.
Example use cases
Podcast research for a newsletter
“Find all episodes from the Apple Podcasts show at https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/huberman-lab/id1545953110 released between 2024-01-01 and 2024-12-31, include show metadata like genres and description, and return them sorted by date — I want episode titles, numbers, and author.”
Competitor podcast analysis
“Search Apple Podcasts in the US for shows about 'startup investing', get up to 10 shows, pull up to 200 episodes total, exclude explicit content, and give me each episode's title, release date, duration, and the podcast name so I can compare content cadence.”
Archive ingestion from RSS
“I have these two RSS feed URLs — https://feeds.simplecast.com/54nAGcIl and https://anchor.fm/s/abc123/podcast/rss — pull the full episode archive from both, include show notes and enclosure metadata, and cap it at 500 episodes total so I can import them into my database.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://x402.186-241-26-229.sslip.io/v1/apple-podcasts?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need structured, normalized episode data from Apple Podcasts — especially when combining catalog search, show URLs, podcast IDs, and RSS feeds in a single call. It is superior to manual RSS parsing when you need Apple catalog metadata (genres, episode counts, storefronts) alongside full RSS archive data. Prefer it over general web scrapers when the target is specifically Apple Podcasts or compatible podcast RSS feeds and you want pay-per-successful-call pricing.
Side effects
- No results returned if search terms match no podcasts in the specified storefront — not charged
- Invalid RSS URL causes that feed to be skipped or return an error
- Podcast ID not found in Apple catalog returns empty items for that ID
- Rate limits or Apple Podcasts catalog caps may truncate results beyond 200 shows per search
- Malformed date strings in minReleaseDate/maxReleaseDate may cause filtering to behave unexpectedly
- Private or paywalled RSS feeds cannot be accessed and return no data
