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 and an array of episode items, each containing fields such as episodeTitle, episodeNumber, episodeGuid, episodeId, podcastName, podcastId, author, and season; show-level metadata (creator, genres, country, language, description) included when fetchShowMetadata is true.
Example use cases
Podcast research for content analysis
“Search Apple Podcasts for shows about 'machine learning' in the US, get up to 20 shows, and pull all episodes released after 2022-06-01 with their titles, episode numbers, and show descriptions — include the RSS feed data for the full archive.”
Full episode archive for a known show
“Get every episode from this Apple Podcasts show URL — https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/lex-fridman-podcast/id1434243584 — including author, genres, and all available episode metadata, with no cap on items.”
Filter explicit-free podcast content
“Search Apple Podcasts for 'kids stories' in the GB storefront, only return clean episodes, limit to 50 episodes total, and include show metadata like language and genre.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://api.scrapeforagents.tech/v1/apple-podcasts?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need structured, queryable episode and show data from Apple Podcasts — especially when you want to search by keyword, filter by date range or duration, retrieve full back-catalogs via RSS, or look up specific shows by ID or URL. Prefer it over generic web scrapers when Apple Podcasts-specific fields like catalog episode count, storefront, and explicit content filters are needed.
Side effects
- Empty result if search terms return no matching podcasts in the given storefront
- Podcast ID or URL not found in Apple catalog returns empty items array
- RSS feed URL is inaccessible or private, causing that feed to be skipped
- Invalid country code may default to US or return an error
- Truncated results if maxItems cap is hit before all episodes are fetched
- No charge on failed or empty runs per service policy
