Pick a mode

Set Mode (mode), paste your input, then fill the section with the mode's name. Other sections are ignored.

You want	mode	Paste into
Shows about a topic	search	searchTerm (a keyword)
Everything about one show	podcast	podcastUrl (an Apple Podcasts link or ID)
What listeners say about a show	reviews	podcastUrl
Top shows in a genre or country	charts	genre, country
A show's episodes	episodes	rssFeedUrl (a feed URL or an Apple link)
Every show by one publisher	artist	artistId or podcastUrl
Episodes trending right now	trending-episodes	country (+ genre)
Episodes about a topic, across all shows	episode-search	searchTerm
Paid podcast networks and their shows	channels	nothing, or channelId
A show's most popular episodes	top-episodes	podcastUrl

Every input field also takes a list (searchTerms, podcastUrls, rssFeedUrls, artistIds, channelIds, genres, countries), so ten shows are one run. Every mode can be scheduled: run it daily and you have a tracker.

Why this Apple Podcasts scraper?

• 🎯 Ten modes, one actor: most people stitch this together from four or five separate scrapers.
• 📝 Reviews past the 500 ceiling: most Apple review tools stop there; ask for up to 2,000.
• 🔥 Apple's Trending Episodes chart: episode-level rankings, not just show rankings.
• 🔎 Search Apple's episode catalog by keyword: every episode on a topic, across all shows.
• 💳 Paid-subscription data: which shows sit behind a paywall, and which networks sell them.
• 📧 Owner email and website straight from each show's feed, for outreach lists.
• 🧾 You pay only for rows you get: a wrong ID returns zero rows, zero charges, and a message saying why.
• ⚡ Fast and cheap: a 20-row run takes a few seconds.

What data can you extract?

Shows: name, publisher, description, artwork, genres, episode count, rating and review count, feed URL, website, owner name and email, language, copyright, publishing frequency, last episode date, active status, content rating, launch date, paid-subscription flag and format.

Episodes: title, description, full HTML show notes, publish date, duration, audio URL and file size, artwork, episode and season number, Apple episode ID and link, transcript URL, keywords, explicit flag.

Charts: rank, chart name, chart genre, rank change since your last run, and the full show record for every entry.

  "reviewerUrl": "https://itunes.apple.com/us/reviews/id32842099",
  "source": "rss"
}

date is Apple's own timestamp with its offset; dateIso is the same moment in UTC.

4. Charts: top shows by genre and country

Paste nothing for the main chart, or a genre and country.

Get one row per chart position: rank, the full show record and, with rank tracking on, how each show moved since your last run. Shows that left the chart come back as exited rows.

}

status is new, up, down, same or exited. The first run has nothing to compare against, so every row is new.

5. Episodes: a show's episodes from its feed

Get one row per episode: title, publish date, duration, audio URL, file size, show notes, episode and season number, transcript link where the show has one.

Use it from an AI agent (Claude, ChatGPT, MCP)

Connect Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any MCP client to Apify's MCP server with this scraper as a tool:

https://mcp.apify.com?tools=sourabhbgp/apple-podcast-scraper

Then ask in plain words. The agent fills in the input, and you pay the same per result. For example:

• "List the top 20 comedy podcasts in the UK."
• "Get the 100 most recent reviews of The Daily."
• "Find 50 personal finance podcasts and their owner emails."
• "Find 30 episodes about AI regulation, across all shows."

Notes for the agent:

Question	Mode	Minimum input
Shows about a topic	search	searchTerm (+ enrichWithRss for emails)
Everything about one show	podcast	podcastUrl
What listeners say about a show	reviews	podcastUrl (+ sortBy)
Top shows in a genre or country	charts	genre, country
A show's episodes	episodes	rssFeedUrl (an Apple link works)
A show's most popular episodes	top-episodes	podcastUrl
Episodes about a topic, any show	episode-search	searchTerm
Episodes trending right now	trending-episodes	country (+ genre)
Every show by one publisher	artist	artistId or podcastUrl
Paid podcast networks	channels	nothing, or channelId

• Keep the cost small: $3.00 per 1,000 rows, so set maxResults to what the question needs (20 for a top list, 100 for a review sample).
• Shows by name: podcastUrl takes an Apple Podcasts link or numeric ID, never a show name. A name returns zero rows with [U_CONFIG]. Run search first and take appleId from the row.
• Genres: genre takes one of the names listed in the input form, such as comedy, true-crime or health-fitness. An unknown genre falls back to the all-genres chart, and the final message says so.
• Chart rows: rank is the position now. With trackDeltas on, status is new, up, down, same or exited, and rankChange is the move since the last run. chartGenre is null on the all-genres chart.
• Episode audio: audioUrl is null on subscriber-only episodes, because Apple doesn't publish the audio. durationSeconds is still filled.
• Reading the result: the status message starts with a code when a run ends short: [U_...] means the input, [E_...] means our side. The RUN_SUMMARY record in the run's key-value store lists every input with its own outcome.
• Time: a 20-row run takes a few seconds; 500 reviews take about two minutes.

What people use it for

• 📣 Podcast advertising: pull a genre chart, then check how often each show publishes and which are paid.
• 🤝 Guest and sponsor outreach: search a topic with feed enrichment on and get owner emails with publishing frequency attached.
• 📈 Competitive tracking: run charts on a schedule with rank tracking on, and see who moved and who dropped out.
• 🗣️ Reputation monitoring: pull reviews sorted by most helpful and see what listeners actually complain about.
• 🔬 Content research: search Apple's episode catalog for a topic and see every show covering it.
• 🗺️ Market mapping: list a publisher's whole catalog, or a paid network's whole roster.

How much does Apple Podcast Scraper cost?

You pay per result, and each result is charged once. Nothing else.

What you get	Per 1,000
A show, episode, review, chart entry or channel	$3.00

There is no per-run fee: a run that returns nothing costs nothing. Duplicates are removed before you're charged, so overlapping search terms never bill twice for the same show.

• Free plan: your $5 monthly credit covers about 1,600 results.
• Starter plan ($19): about 6,300 results a month.

Limitations

• Search returns about 100 shows per keyword. That's Apple's cap, not ours. Use several keywords to go wider.
• Charts return up to 200 entries. Top Series and Top Subscriber Shows stop at 100, Apple's own length for them.
• Most helpful reviews stop where Apple's helpful ranking ends. That can be fewer than you asked for, and the run says so.
• Reviews are per country. Reviews left in the UK store don't show up in the US store. Run both.
• Episode archives depend on the publisher. Some feeds carry every episode ever, some only the last few dozen. We return what the feed publishes.
• Some fields depend on the source. Show notes, keywords and transcript links come from the show's feed, so modes that read Apple's catalog directly won't have them. Transcript links exist for roughly one show in six.
• Paid-subscriber-only episodes are not accessible. We return that an episode is paid and its length, not its locked audio.

FAQ

How do I scrape Apple Podcasts without coding?

Pick a mode, paste a keyword, an Apple Podcasts link or a feed URL, and press Start. Set Max Results, the ceiling for the whole run, so your bill can't exceed it. Download the results as JSON, CSV, Excel or XML.

Do I need an Apple developer account or API key?

No. Everything comes from Apple's public pages, with no login and no proxy setup.

Can I schedule this?

Yes. Use Apify Schedules for daily chart tracking or review monitoring. Turn on rank tracking and each run reports what moved.

Why did my run return fewer rows than I asked for?

The common reasons: the source genuinely has fewer (a show with 40 episodes can't return 100), duplicates were removed, Apple ranks fewer reviews as most helpful, or you turned completeResults off. The run's final message says which, and the RUN_REPORT record lists exactly what happened and whether any request to Apple failed.

Can I use it from code or an AI agent?

Yes. Call it through the Apify API, or connect it to an AI agent through Apify's MCP server (see above).

Is scraping Apple Podcasts legal?

This actor collects publicly available information only. It doesn't log in, and it doesn't touch personal or paywalled content. You are responsible for how you use the data, including under GDPR and CCPA where reviewer names are involved.
