iTunes search API not returning any values

Question

I'm trying to build a URL to query the iTunes API to get podcast information.

I have tried using https://itunes.apple.com/search?entity=podcast and https://itunes.apple.com/search?media=podcast

have also tried adding country and limit paramaters https://itunes.apple.com/search?entity=podcast&country=us https://itunes.apple.com/search?entity=podcast&limit=25

Currently I am just typing the URL into the browser (chrome) to see if I can get a JSON response, but I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

Response I get:

{
 "resultCount":0,
 "results": []
}

Answer 1

You haven't specified the 'term' parameter which is a requirement.
