FAQ

Questions Podcast Index owners ask.

  • 01

    Can I search for podcasts where a specific person is a guest or host?

    Yes! Use the search_by_person capability with the person's name. The agent will return a list of podcasts associated with that individual.

  • 02

    How do I get the latest episodes from a specific show?

    You can use either get_episodes_by_feed_id if you have the internal ID, or get_episodes_by_feed_url if you have the RSS link. Both will provide a list of recent episodes.

  • 03

    Can I find a podcast if I only have its iTunes ID?

    Absolutely. Use the get_podcast_by_itunes_id capability to fetch the full Podcast Index metadata using the Apple Podcasts/iTunes identifier.
