About this repository

This is not our API. This repository is an independent, third-party profile of a company's publicly available API surface, maintained by API Evangelist. API Evangelist does not operate, host, resell, or support this company's APIs, and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the company unless stated on the profile.

Where the information came from. Everything here is assembled from material a member of the public can reach with a browser and no credentials — the company's own website, developer portal and documentation, the specifications it publishes for public use (OpenAPI, AsyncAPI, JSON Schema, apis.json, llms.txt and similar), its public repositories, and its public status, pricing and changelog pages. Nothing here is obtained by breaching a system, defeating an access control, or using credentials of any kind.

The rating is an independent assessment. The Kin Score and Agent Readiness rating are independently calculated scores of a company's public API artifacts, produced by API Evangelist against a published rubric. They are not certifications, endorsements, security assessments, or audits, and they score published artifacts — not the quality, safety, or security of the software.

Corrections, re-scores, and removal are free. No partnership, contract, or purchase is required, and you do not need to justify the request.

  • Something wrong? Open an issue on this repository, or email info@apievangelist.com.
  • Published something new? Ask for a re-score and we will re-run the rating.
  • Want the listing taken down? Say so and we will honor it. The profile is reduced to your company name, a factual description, and a link to your own site, and the company is recorded as unrated — never scored zero for having asked.

Response times. Acknowledgement within one business day; removal or restriction within two business days; corrections and re-scores within five business days.

Not from the company, and here with a question? You are welcome here — we would rather be the front line and point you the right way than have a good report go nowhere. What this repository can answer is narrow, though, so it is worth knowing who you are actually looking for:

  • A question about how the API works, an account, billing, or a bug in the service — that is the company's own support, not us. We profile this API; we do not operate it and cannot see your account.
  • A bug in an open-source project we only catalog — file it on that project's own repository. This has happened with a real and correct bug report that reached us instead of the people who could fix it, which helped nobody.
  • Anything about this listing itself — the description, the tags, the rating, a missing or wrong artifact — is ours. Open an issue here.
  • Not sure, or something general about API Evangelist or APIs.io — open an issue on the APIs.io Inbox and we will route it.

This repository contains no software, and we will never ask you to download anything. There is no build, release, installer, or binary here — only text and machine-readable API descriptions, so there is nothing here that can be "corrupt" or need "repairing". Any issue, comment, or email claiming otherwise and offering a download link is not from us and is hostile. Do not follow the link; it is a lure. Report it to GitHub and, if you like, tell us at info@apievangelist.com so we can take it down.

On a security or compliance team? Email info@apievangelist.com with security in the subject line and you will get a person, not a form. We will tell you exactly which public URLs this profile was built from so your team can see the same surface we did, and we will take the listing down on request while you work through it.

Full detail: Where this data comes from

Acast is a podcast hosting, distribution, and advertising marketplace that helps creators publish shows, distribute to every major listening platform, and monetize through dynamic ad insertion and sponsorships. Acast exposes a documented public Publishing API for programmatically managing shows and episodes - listing shows and episodes, fetching details, and creating, updating, and deleting episodes - plus placing ad markers and receiving webhook notifications for events like new episode publications.

Access model (honest note): The Publishing API is documented openly at developers.acast.com, but it is access-gated. You authenticate with an X-API-Key header, and that key is issued by Acast's customer success team. API access is only available to accounts on the Ace plan or in the Acast Creator Network; the free Starter and mid-tier Influencer plans do not include API access. API keys are scoped to a user and grant access only to the shows assigned to that user.

The specific endpoint paths in this catalog's OpenAPI are modeled from Acast's documented resource operations (list shows, get show, list/get/create/update/delete episodes, PATCH ad markers). The public documentation confirms the resources, HTTP methods, base host (api.acast.com), authentication header, and rate limit, but the full path/schema reference is served behind an interactive viewer that requires credentials. Modeled endpoints are flagged with x-endpointsModeled: true in the OpenAPI document.

APIs

Acast Shows API

List all shows in a network and fetch details for a specific show. Read-only access to show metadata (title, description, artwork, RSS feed, and episode listings) scoped to the shows assigned to the API key's user.

Tags

  • Shows
  • Podcasts
  • Publishing

Properties

Acast Episodes API

List episodes for a show, fetch a single episode, and create, update, and delete episodes straight from the command line or an existing CMS. Episode creation accepts an audio file upload (MP3 recommended, up to 150 MB).

Tags

  • Episodes
  • Publishing
  • CMS

Properties

Acast Ad Markers API

Place or update ad markers within an episode via PATCH so dynamic ad insertion knows where to stitch pre-roll, mid-roll, and post-roll ads. Disabling monetization on a per-episode basis is not currently possible through the API.

Tags

  • Ad Markers
  • Monetization
  • Advertising

Properties

Acast Webhooks

Register HTTP callback URLs to receive real-time notifications when events occur on your account - for example when a new episode is published. Webhooks are server-to-endpoint HTTP callbacks, not a bidirectional or WebSocket transport.
