Podcast Episodes from RSS — search shows, list every episode

For podcast researchers, PR and outreach teams, media monitors and developers building podcast tools. Find shows by keyword (Apple Podcasts directory), by Apple Podcasts URL / iTunes ID, or by RSS feed URL, and get one clean row per episode: title, publish date, duration, audio URL, season and episode number. Audio is never downloaded — you get the link only.

Try it free: leave input empty and press Start. The demo is not charged and its rows carry _demo: true.

Price: $0.001 per episode — 1,000 episodes cost $1. Failed feeds, empty searches and the demo cost nothing.

Sample output

What you can do

• Search: searchTerms runs the iTunes Search API (country selectable) and reads the top shows' feeds
• Resolve Apple links: paste https://podcasts.apple.com/.../id1234567890 or just the ID (iTunes Lookup API)
• Read feeds directly: any public podcast RSS URL
• Limits: max podcasts (1–50, default 2), max episodes per podcast (1–1000, default 5, newest first), published after date
• Fields: podcastTitle, podcastAuthor, feedUrl, appleUrl, episodeTitle, publishedAt (ISO 8601 UTC), durationSeconds, audioUrl, audioType, audioBytes, episodeUrl, season, episode, explicit, descriptionText (plain text, first 500 characters)
• Safe by design: hosts that resolve to internal addresses are never contacted (including redirect targets); feeds are limited to 15 MB and 30 s per request, max 3 in parallel with 0.5 s between requests

Use cases

• Build a list of shows and guests for outreach or sponsorship research
• Monitor new episodes of competitor or industry podcasts on a schedule
• Feed episode titles and descriptions to an LLM or search index
• Import episodes into your own podcast app or catalogue
