# Pull a podcast's full archive via RSS

**Use case:** 

Reads a podcast's RSS feed directly (here, The Vergecast) to pull its full episode archive — beyond the iTunes ~200-episode cap — with title, show notes, audio URL, duration, release date, and Podcast 2.0 fields like season/episode numbers and chapters where present. Replace `rssFeeds` with any podcast RSS URL.

## Input

```json
{
  "searchTerms": [
    "artificial intelligence"
  ],
  "rssFeeds": [
    "https://feeds.megaphone.fm/vergecast"
  ],
  "country": "us",
  "maxPodcastsPerSearch": 10,
  "maxEpisodesPerPodcast": 20,
  "useRssForFullArchive": true,
  "explicit": "all",
  "minDurationSeconds": 0,
  "fetchShowMetadata": true

## About this Actor

This example demonstrates how to use [Apple Podcasts Scraper](https://apify.com/parsebird/apple-podcasts-scraper.md) with a specific input configuration. Visit the [Actor detail page](https://apify.com/parsebird/apple-podcasts-scraper.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).
