Apple Podcasts Scraper

Next report-style Actors

If you already have data from this Actor, these follow-on Actors turn public or user-provided inputs into decision-ready reports. They are optional, capped by maxChargeUsd, and do not make business outcome claims.

• Podcast Sponsor Public Signal Report - turn podcast/RSS inputs into public sponsor and business-signal research without personal contact harvesting.

Podcast marketers, agencies, networks, and research teams use this actor to turn Apple iTunes Search, iTunes Lookup, Apple chart feeds, and public podcast RSS feeds into a clean dataset for Podcast Sponsor & Contact Suite. Provide focused source inputs, keep the first run small, and expand only after the output shape is useful. Each emitted row includes source context, timestamps, and fields designed for monitoring, QA, research, or workflow handoff.

Store Quickstart

Start with one search term and one country, then add chart requests or lookup IDs after the first dataset looks useful.

Recommended first run:

{
  "searchTerm": "founder podcast",
  "country": "us",
  "limit": 10,
  "includeEpisodes": false
}

Output fields

• rowType
• collectionId
• showName
• publisher
• country
• rank
• episodeTitle
• sourceUrl
• fetchedAt

Rows also include source URLs, fetch timestamps, warnings when a source is partial, and stable IDs when the workflow supports recurring change detection.

Pricing and no-change runs

$0.001 actor start and $0.003 per dataset row. Empty no-change watchlist runs should avoid dataset writes.

The default dataset is the billable surface. Dry runs, validation-only runs, missing-key warnings, and unchanged recurring polls should not write payable default-dataset rows.

Compliance guardrails

• Uses public Apple and RSS endpoints; it is not affiliated with or endorsed by Apple.
• Does not require account sessions, browser automation, or private podcast dashboards.
• Use output for research, ranking analysis, and monitoring workflows.
• Do not use provider emblems or wording that implies approval by an upstream data provider.
