What is an API, and how do I download podcast list ?

[oldcarguy]

Hi All

 

HELP     I just found a site that lists 1000s of   Podcasts and the URLs ,  But it is stopping Nov 28th,

 

Here is the Website   https://www.audiosear.ch/docs   API COOKBOOK

 

Here is what they sent me :

"You can access lots of metadata about shows, including getting a list of episodes and the URLs to their audio files, by using our API: www.audiosear.ch/docs.

The show ID for Car Talk is 392, which should help get you started ......."

 

So how do I do it ?  First thing is the Car Talk info (

 

Once I get the Car Talk URLs  I would love to be able to DOWNLOAD the complete file with all the Podcasts locations they have sorted out , it looks like years of work that will be lost Nov 28th.....

 

PS:   Car talk is good for a laugh even if you  are not a Car Guy ,   Click and Clack , the tappet  Brothers has been on the radio for 20 years

 

Thanks for your help

API is an application interface.

Think of a big database that contains links and info to podcasts scattered around the web. The owner of this database now wants to allow other web sites and apps to use his data. To do this he opens a door in his system that allows other systems to send search requests and get data returned to their system. The API cookbook you are viewing explains how developers should talk to the system and get data returned.

 

I think you should look for another data source. There are some apps in the sites showcase.

Hi

 

thanks for this info ,

 

the people at the website have been helpful ,

but I needed to sign in but could not find a link ,  now they sent it to me ,

 

I am concerned that when they go offline Nov 28th all the websites using the info will go dark too ,

 

I wish I had found them earlier ,  its nice that it is all at one place ,

There are probably thousands of sites or services that collect podcast data like this.

Google result for: search online for podcast

 

Many podcast players have their own build-in search engines., but most will also let you hand enter an address to get access to anything available online.

Car Talk only Podcasts the last few shows , then they are 99cents each on Itunes

 

I just want the older ones to archive

 

The Best of Car Talk has been  going for the last few years after one of the brothers died at the age of 77

 

Thanks for your ideas
