Podcasts are based on RSS feeds, so yes, you can get all the details of your podcast by loading and reading the RSS feed off any podcast.

The RSS URL of the Anchor podcasts is https://anchor.fm/s/PODCAST_ID/podcast/rss where PODCAST_ID is the ID of your podcast.

Q: Can I get the episode name with any public API?

There is no Public API from Anchor I think... And I need also to create my own landing page for my Podcast on Anchor. Then I look up the source code in my anchor page and I saw the window.__STATE__ variable in the source code.

Hmmm... It is very nice to me! With the window.__STATE__ I can catch json value after using my dirty PHP Code. Just implements some built-in method PHP have:

  • file_get_contents()
  • substr()
  • strpos()
  • str_replace()

and additional method if you want to save json code in your internal file using:

  • file_put_contents()

This is my dirty PHP code (but it's work nicely!)

<?php

$html = file_get_contents('https://anchor.fm/<your-podcast-page-name>');

$json = substr($html, strpos($html, 'window.__STATE__ = {') , strpos($html, '"isError":false}};') - (strpos($html, 'window.__STATE__ = {')-1));

$json = str_replace('window.__STATE__ = ', '', $json);

$json = str_replace('"isNewUser":false,"', '"isNewUser":false,"isError":false}}', $json);

file_put_contents('podcasts.json', $json);

Sorry for my bad English... Cheers!
