Need podcast endpoints from web API

DSA_president — Sat, 06 Jun 2020 21:42:56 GMT

I'm trying to pull data from the Spotify API such as "popular podcasts" or "podcasts by genre". But as you can see from the documentation, to get podcast info you must have the podcast (or "show") id, which you can only get from doing a search with "show" as a parameter. Is there anything I'm missing?

Hey @DSA_president, help's here!

There's currently no endpoint to view popular podcasts or podcasts by genre. If this is something you'd like to see, I recommend creating a new idea on the Spotify Community. That way, Spotify can keep track of it. Feel free to give me a shout, if you have any questions!

Have a good one,

Hubo

To work around that I have manually gone to the Spotify app and copied the show Id for the most popular, daily picks etc
