## Pricing

from $3.40 / 1,000 podcast rows

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## Podcast Guest and Host Finder

Find podcasts on any topic and get one row per show with what you need to pitch it: the host, the owner name and email the show publishes in its own RSS feed, how often it publishes, whether it is still active, the guests it had recently, and the contact and be a guest pages on its website. Enter a topic, or paste Apple Podcasts links or RSS feeds of shows you already know. Rows are flat, so they export to CSV or drop into a Clay table.

### Features

- **Topic search.** Searches the Apple Podcasts catalog for each topic, up to 200 shows per topic, in Apple's order. A show found under two topics is returned once.
- **Host and owner contact.** The host from the feed's podcast:person tags or author, and the owner name and email from the feed's itunes:owner block, the contact the show itself publishes for directories.
- **Recent guests.** Guest names from the feed's podcast:person guest tags, or read from episode titles by fixed patterns ("with Jane Doe of Acme", "Jane Doe on hiring", "feat. Jane Doe"), plus the companies named beside them. The host is never counted as a guest.
- **Guest format and cadence.** The share of episodes that name a guest, episodes in the last 90 days, average days between episodes, the newest episode, and an active flag.
- **Contact and guest pages.** One read of the website the feed names, for a contact page and a guest application or pitch page.
- **Filters.** Only active shows, a minimum episode count, or guest format shows only. Shows removed by a filter are free.

### How it reads its sources

The Apple iTunes Search API (public, no key), each show's public RSS feed, and one page of each show's own website. robots.txt is read once per host and checked before every feed and website request. Requests go direct first; a host that refuses is read through the Apify proxy. No API key, no login, and no other developer's actor.

### Input

| Field | Type | Default | What it does |
|---|---|---|---|
| `topic` | string | | What the podcasts are about, for example `B2B sales` |
| `topics` | array | | More topics, up to 20 |
| `podcast_urls` | array | | Apple Podcasts links or RSS feed URLs to read directly, up to 200 |
| `country` | string | `us` | Apple Podcasts catalog country |
| `max_podcasts` | string | `25` | Shows per topic, 1 to 200 |
| `episodes_to_read` | string | `50` | Newest episodes read per show, 5 to 300 |
| `active_within_days` | string | | Only shows with an episode in the last this many days |
| `min_episodes` | string | | Only shows with at least this many episodes |
| `guest_shows_only` | string | `false` | Only shows where 30 percent or more of the episodes read name a guest and 3 or more guests were found |
| `find_contact_page` | string | `true` | Read the show website for contact and guest pages |
| `max_charge_usd` | string | | Stop before a row would pass this amount |

Every field also accepts text, as Clay sends it: `"true"`, `"25"`, or a comma separated list.

### Output

One row per show. Key fields:

| Field | Example |
|---|---|
| `podcast_name`, `apple_podcast_url`, `feed_url`, `website_url` | `Sales Success Stories`, ... |
| `host_name`, `owner_name`, `owner_email` | `Scott Ingram`, `Scott Ingram`, `scott@top1.fm` |
| `episode_count`, `latest_episode_at`, `episodes_last_90_days`, `avg_days_between_episodes`, `is_active` | `385`, `2026-09-22T09:30:00.000Z`, `6`, `7`, `true` |
| `guest_format`, `guest_episode_share`, `guest_count`, `recent_guests`, `guest_companies` | `true`, `0.56`, `24`, `["Stephen Oommen","John Krause"]` |
| `contact_page_url`, `guest_application_url` | `https://top1.fm/contact/` |
| `primary_genre`, `genres`, `language`, `explicit` | `Business`, `["Business","Marketing"]`, `en`, `false` |
| `feed_status`, `row_status`, `error_reason`, `billable_events_json` | `ok`, `ok`, `null`, `{"podcast-row":1}` |

The run summary (key-value store record `RUN_SUMMARY`) lists rows, shows checked and filtered, charged events, requests, and robots.txt as read per host.

### Pricing

Pay per event. You pay only these events; the Apify platform and proxy costs of your run are paid by Mamba Labs.

| Event | Free plan | Bronze | Silver | Gold |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Podcast row (`podcast-row`): one show with its feed read | $0.004 | $0.0038 | $0.0036 | $0.0034 |
| Actor start (`apify-actor-start`), once per run | $0.0005 | $0.0005 | $0.0005 | $0.0005 |

Free rows: a show whose feed could not be read (Apple catalog fields only, `row_status` `partial`), no results rows, and error rows. On the Apify free plan the actor stops at 1.50 USD of evaluation a month (about 375 podcast rows); any paid Apify plan removes that cap.

Example: one topic with 25 shows costs about 0.101 USD.

### Usage examples

#### Apify Console or API

```json
{ "topic": "B2B sales", "max_podcasts": "25", "active_within_days": "90", "guest_shows_only": "true" }
```

```json
{ "podcast_urls": ["https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sales-success-stories/id1168307590", "https://feeds.captivate.fm/the-b2b-sales-podcast/"] }
```

#### Clay

Add an Apify column, send a topic or an Apple Podcasts link from your table, and read `host_name`, `owner_email`, `guest_application_url`, and `recent_guests`. Filter on `is_active` and `guest_format` before you pitch.

#### MCP

The MCP server `@mambalabsdev/mcp-podcast-guest-host-finder` exposes this actor as a tool for Claude and other MCP clients.

### Error handling

| Situation | What you get |
|---|---|
| Apple lists no feed, or the feed cannot be read | The show row with Apple catalog fields only, `row_status` `partial`, free |
| The feed host's robots.txt disallows the feed | Catalog fields only, `feed_status` `robots_disallowed`, free |
| The website refuses or is down | The row ships with the contact fields empty and the reason in `error_reason` |
| The Apple Search API does not answer | One free `blocked` row for the topic |
| A topic finds nothing | One free `no_results` row |
| Max charge reached | The run stops before the next billable row and says why in the status message |

### Limitations

- Topic search returns Apple's ranking, which favors show names and descriptions that contain the words. Try several phrasings with `topics`.
- Guest names come from feed tags or fixed title patterns. A title that does not name the guest in one of those forms gives no guest, and a guest name must start with a common first name. Check names before outreach.
- `owner_email` is the address the show publishes in its own feed; many feeds publish none. You are responsible for contacting people lawfully under the rules that apply to you.
- One website page is read per show; a contact page linked only from a deeper page is not found.

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
