Search Apple Podcasts and export podcast episodes without an API key. Search by keyword and get one row per podcast with name, author, genres, episode count, artwork, Apple page and feed URL; or give podcast URLs or ids and get one row per episode with title, publish date, duration, audio file, description, episode and season numbers. Any store country. Schedule it and new episodes are flagged. Podcast discovery, competitor tracking, guest and sponsorship research, transcription pipelines and media monitoring at $0.0005 per podcast or episode.

The Actor uses Apple's public iTunes search and lookup endpoints and reads each podcast's own RSS feed. No Apple account, token or device is needed.

Podcast (search rows): podcastId, name, author, url, feedUrl, artwork, genres, primaryGenre, episodeCount, releaseDate (latest episode according to Apple), country, explicit.

Pricing

Pay per event: $0.0005 per podcast or episode and $0.001 per new episode or podcast detected on a scheduled run. A podcast whose feed cannot be read counts as one item; searches without results are free. The latest 50 episodes of 100 podcasts cost $2.50.

Limits and notes

• Episodes come from the podcast's RSS feed, newest first, as many as the feed lists (most feeds keep every episode; some keep the latest 50 to 300).
• Search returns up to 200 podcasts per query, ranked by Apple.
• Apple's own ratings and reviews are not part of the public endpoints.
