Programmatic Podcast Submission / One-click Distribution for Hosting Platforms

drdthedev — Thu, 16 Apr 2026 15:12:32 GMT

We are building a podcast hosting platform where creators can create and manage their shows directly within our system.

Our goal is to enable a one-click distribution experience to Spotify, similar to what some hosting providers appear to offer from a UX perspective.

From our research, it seems that Spotify currently relies on RSS feed submission via Spotify for Creators, including manual claiming and email verification.

We would like to clarify:

Is there any official or partner-level API / endpoint that allows:
programmatic submission of an RSS feed
linking a creator’s account
publishing or syncing shows without manual verification steps
If not, are there any approved partner integrations or programs that allow hosting platforms to:
streamline onboarding
reduce friction (e.g. skip email code verification)
provide a more seamless “one-click publish” experience
Is the expected approach for platforms like ours still:
Generate RSS feed
Redirect user to Spotify for Creators
Let Spotify handle verification & ingestion

We’re trying to understand the recommended architecture and limitations when building a distribution layer for podcast creators.

Any clarification on current capabilities or future plans would be highly appreciated.
