1 year ago This has solved the GUID/feedID problem for me perfectly: https://github.com/brianoflondon/guid-slurp
Unfortunately it doesn't work for episode_guid to itemID issue. and given the weekly lag, even if extended to items would be suboptimal.
An open api endpoint that takes an episode_guid and returns an itemID is by far the best solution for developers unable to secure keys.
This solution would work as well: https://github.com/Podcastindex-org/docs-api/issues/11#issuecomment-997886498
We were discussing subscriptions sync with the Open Podcast API. It seems like GUID will be the unique cross-app identifier.
If an app doesn't know the GUID yet and it's not in the feed, before calculating one itself, it'd be great to have a quick and open place for the app to get the GUID. Think, for example, of a self-hosted Funkwhale instance by a non-technical person. Not having to request and save an API key would be helpful.
Maybe a triangle-thing could be provided: submit either an RSS feed URL, a GUID or a Podcast Index ID, and get the other two values in return.
