# Find true-crime podcasts with their RSS feed URLs

**Use case:** 

Searches Apple Podcasts for three true-crime keywords inside the True Crime genre and returns one row per show: title, author, RSS feed URL, genres, episode count, artwork, star rating and the Apple link. The feed URL is the part most directories hide, and it is what you need to subscribe, monitor or scrape further. $1.50 per 1,000 podcast rows.

{
  "podcasts": [],

## About this Actor

This example demonstrates how to use [Podcast Search, Episodes & Charts API](https://apify.com/insight.solutions/podcast-api.md) with a specific input configuration. Visit the [Actor detail page](https://apify.com/insight.solutions/podcast-api.md) to learn more, explore other use cases, and run it yourself.


## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
This Task's input is already configured above — use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).
