## Pricing

Pay per event

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.

## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
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.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## 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.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt).


# README

## Podcast Sponsor Public Signal Report

Create no-contact sponsor signal reports from public podcast RSS feeds, Apple Podcast URLs, and official show or advertise pages. The output is a research/audit report: public sponsor mentions, advertise-page signals, sponsorship-fit reasons, confidence, warnings, and next actions.

This actor deliberately does not collect personal emails, personal phone numbers, host contact details, inferred emails, outreach lists, or private dashboard data.

### First Run

```json
{
  "rssFeedUrls": ["https://example.com/podcast/feed.xml"],
  "reportTier": "sponsor_snapshot",
  "maxEpisodesPerFeed": 5,
  "maxChargeUsd": 9,
  "dryRun": false
}
````

### Report Tiers

- `sponsor_snapshot` emits `sponsor_signal_snapshot` when public sponsor signals are found.
- `sponsor_fit` emits `show_sponsor_fit_report` when there is enough evidence for a richer fit report.

The recurring watch summary is planned and proof-gated. It is not selectable in the public input schema and is not promoted until the 50-sample benchmark and paid proof gates pass.

### Output Fields

- `decisionSummary`
- `sponsorSignalScore`
- `publicSponsorSignals`
- `advertisingPageSignals`
- `sponsorshipFitReasons`
- `actionList` and `previewReport.nextRunInput`
- `status`, `chargedEvent`, `chargedUsd`, `reason`
- `sourceUrls`, `warnings`, `errors`

### No-Charge Rules

Demo runs, dry runs, source failures, no-signal reports, low-confidence reports, prohibited contact-only findings, hidden watch tier, and maxChargeUsd limit rows are no-charge.

### Source Rules

Allowed: public RSS feeds, public Apple Podcast lookup metadata, official public show pages, official public advertise/sponsor/media kit pages.

Disallowed: login-only sources, paywalled/private dashboards, inferred personal contact data, host personal emails, personal phone numbers, private social profiles, consent-free outreach lists, and claims that sponsorship or revenue will improve.

# Actor input Schema

## `reportTier` (type: `string`):

Select the report level. Watch summaries are proof-gated and are not selectable during private validation.

## `rssFeedUrls` (type: `array`):

Public podcast RSS feed URLs.

## `applePodcastUrls` (type: `array`):

Public Apple Podcast URLs or collection IDs. The actor uses the public iTunes Lookup API to resolve feed URLs when possible.

## `showUrls` (type: `array`):

Official public show pages, advertise pages, media kit pages, or sponsor pages.

## `maxEpisodesPerFeed` (type: `integer`):

Maximum RSS episodes to inspect per feed.

## `maxChargeUsd` (type: `number`):

Safety cap. If the selected tier would exceed this cap, the run returns limit\_reached with no charge.

## `maxReports` (type: `integer`):

V1 emits one report per run.

## `demoMode` (type: `boolean`):

Return a no-charge sample report without external requests.

## `delivery` (type: `string`):

Choose where to deliver the generated sponsor signal report. Dataset delivery is recommended for first runs.

## `webhookUrl` (type: `string`):

HTTPS endpoint used when delivery includes webhook.

## `dryRun` (type: `boolean`):

Set true to validate input and emit a no-charge sample report without fetching sources or writing dataset rows.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "reportTier": "sponsor_snapshot",
  "rssFeedUrls": [],
  "applePodcastUrls": [],
  "showUrls": [],
  "maxEpisodesPerFeed": 5,
  "maxChargeUsd": 9,
  "maxReports": 1,
  "demoMode": false,
  "delivery": "dataset",
  "webhookUrl": "",
  "dryRun": false
}
```

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("taroyamada/podcast-sponsor-public-signal-report").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);
});

## Python example

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

# Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
# Replace '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token.
client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = {}

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("taroyamada/podcast-sponsor-public-signal-report").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print("💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/" + run["defaultDatasetId"])
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item)
