Perplexity

Headless podcast search for Claude Code

Integrate podcast discovery into your shell scripts. Claude Code uses `search` and `typeahead` to fetch data and pipe it directly to your downstream tools. It works without a browser or GUI, making it perfect for automated reports. You get clean JSON output that fits right into your existing pipelines.

Bulk metadata processing

When you need to process thousands of shows, Claude Code uses `batch_podcasts` and `batch_episodes` to pull data in bulk. It is built for speed and high-volume tasks. It handles the request cycles automatically. You just define the scope, and the tool returns the metadata for your processing scripts.

Trending insights in the terminal

Get the latest data on what's popular by running `get_trending_searches` directly in your terminal. Claude Code captures this and feeds it into your CI/CD processes. It allows for real-time monitoring of podcast trends. You can trigger updates based on the results, ensuring your data is always current.
