Restful API #11

Closed rpodcast closed 6 years ago

rpodcast commented 6 years ago

I believe it has been mentioned that it was in the roadmap to have an API exposed, but I thought it would be helpful to log it here. My use case would be to obtain metrics as well as automate the way I upload new episodes so I can basically script out my entire process of publishing content.

I've never indicated that there would be an API for stats, but there will one day be an API, hopefully in 2018.

This would be useful to me, also, for the same reasons (automation). Heck, even if it were just read-only, or even if some of the extra episode information (e.g., header image) were exposed in a _fireside key in the JSON feed. I'm just trying to create a single source of truth about episode data. 😄

@jm Would the JSON feed work for you, it's been there for quite a while now.

we need an API, or add the header images to the json and RSS feed

Any update on a potential API? Again I'm mostly interested in being able to publish a new episode with it. I have a few pipelines I am close to completing but this is the last major piece.

Hi, repeating the same question. Is the API ever likely to happen please? :)

Use case is publish episodes via CI.

sebastiangelotte commented 4 years ago

Also interested in an API, mainly for publishing new episodes.

We are also in need of this. I need to be able to request the podcast information that was already entered on the site. Currently we have a duplicate of all the information (title, summary , description, transcript etc.) on our site and then on yours. Ideally, it would be hosted only on Fireside only and we should be able to pull this information by episode ID.

ironicbadger commented 3 years ago

@dan closing this link to the JSON api is not a complete solution to the request here.

An API that permits publishing and programmatically inserting links from custom tooling would be a great start. But that would just be the beginning really.

Another example, I want to build a searchable archive of all the show notes for half a dozen podcasts. I've had to resort to iterating over the HTML in Python using BeautifulSoup4 - it's so wonderfully hacky and works "OK" but being able to query the information entered into fireside with key/values instead of large blocks would be waaaaay better.

Hopefully you will see this and reconsider.
