Spotify Podcast Tracker — Wikidata podcast discovery

Find podcast shows by keyword or Spotify show ID without a login or API key. This Actor now reads Wikidata only through its SPARQL endpoint. It does not request Apple or Spotify websites or APIs. A keyword matches an English podcast title, genre, or main-subject label; showIds matches Wikidata's Spotify show ID statement. Results are deduplicated by Wikidata QID.

Input

Field	Default	Description
keyword	technology in the prefill	English title, genre, or subject keyword
showIds	[]	Spotify show IDs, show URLs, or spotify:show: URIs; the URLs are parsed locally, never fetched
maxResults	20	Maximum returned shows, 1–50
market	US	Legacy saved-input field; ignored because Wikidata results are global

At least one of keyword or showIds is required. A show must have an English Wikidata label to be returned. Wikidata coverage and statement completeness vary by show; maxResults is a cap, not a guarantee.

Output and data source

Each row has source: "Wikidata", licence: "CC0-1.0", and wikidata_id. The fields name, publisher (P123), genres (P136), languages (P407), start_date (P580 or P571), website (P856), feed_url (first P1019 statement), spotify_show_id (P5916), and apple_podcasts_id (P5842) are drawn from Wikidata statements. A missing statement yields null (or an empty list for genres/languages). The legacy aliases show_id, categories, and external_url are derived from those same fields.

Episode history and show-page metadata have no licence-clean source in this Actor. The existing keys total_episodes, release_frequency_days, release_cadence, latest_episode_date, days_since_last_episode, activity_score, catalog_maturity, is_active, description, image_url, and explicit are kept as null; no values are guessed. is_multilingual is derived from the count of Wikidata language statements.

Example (omitted statements shown as null):

{
  "wikidata_id": "Q12345",
  "name": "Example Technology Podcast",
  "publisher": null,
  "genres": ["Technology"],
  "languages": ["English"],
  "start_date": null,
  "website": null,
  "feed_url": null,
  "spotify_show_id": null,
  "apple_podcasts_id": null,
  "total_episodes": null,
  "activity_score": null,
  "source": "Wikidata",
  "licence": "CC0-1.0"
}

Data: Wikidata (CC0 public-domain dedication). Queries use the Wikidata Query Service and its public rate limits. This is descriptive catalog data, not listener counts or audience analytics.

Pricing

Pay-per-event pricing is unchanged: $0.005 per returned podcast (podcast-fetched). A missing or unavailable Wikidata result produces no row and no row charge. Twenty returned shows cost $0.10; fifty cost $0.25.
