## 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.

# README

## Spotify Podcast Intelligence

Extract public Spotify podcast show metadata, ratings, recent episodes, sponsor hints, contact hints, transcript hints, and external links from `open.spotify.com` pages plus optional RSS enrichment.

### What it returns

- Show rows with title, publisher, description, language, topics, rating average/count, total episode count, explicit labels, and image URL.
- Episode rows with title, published date, duration, preview URLs, transcript hints, sponsor hints, contact hints, and extracted links.
- Meta diagnostics describing source coverage and any degraded public surfaces.

### Input

- `showUrls`
- `episodeUrls`
- `rssFeedUrls`
- `searchTerms`
- `maxEpisodesPerShow`
- `includeEpisodes`
- `delivery`, `webhookUrl`, `dryRun`

At least one of `showUrls`, `episodeUrls`, `rssFeedUrls`, or `searchTerms` is required.

### Notes

- Uses only public Spotify pages and the public Spotify oEmbed endpoint.
- Search-term discovery is best-effort because Spotify search pages are not consistently server-rendered.
- RSS enrichment is optional but improves sponsor, transcript, and contact coverage.

# 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 = {
    "showUrls": [
        "https://open.spotify.com/show/4rOoJ6Egrf8K2IrywzwOMk"
    ],
    "episodeUrls": [],
    "rssFeedUrls": [],
    "searchTerms": []
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("taroyamada/spotify-podcast-intelligence").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);
});
