Getting Started with the Pod Engine API

PodEngine provides a comprehensive suite of APIs that enable developers to integrate podcast search, transcript analysis, and content management capabilities into their applications. Whether you're building a podcast discovery platform, content analysis tool, or podcast marketing solution, our APIs provide the building blocks you need.

Your First API Call

1. Authentication
PodEngine offers public and private API endpoints:
  • Public: No authentication required
  • Private: Require API key in Authorization header
2. Make Your First API Call

Try our public endpoint to test your API connection (no authentication required):

curl -X GET "https://api.podengine.ai/api/v1/episodes/latest" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: YOUR_API_TOKEN"
3. Handle Errors
Our API uses standard HTTP response codes. Authentication errors will return a 401 status code:
{
  "status": "UNAUTHORIZED",
  "data": {
    "message": "Invalid authorization token"
  }
}
