DailyWirePodcastProxy is an RSS podcast proxy to allow podcast clients to fetch full-length and ad-free podcast episodes from The DailyWire that are only available on their website or in their mobile app. It is a standalone API service that must be deployed where it can be accessed to your desired podcast client.
An active subscription to The DailyWire required.
Authenticated GraphQL requests are made with an access token for your account to The DailyWire API that are similar to the requests made by their mobile app. Podcast subscriptions are then stored in a local SQLite database. New episodes are queried on a schedule and the local database is updated to reflect all new changes that have been found. A podcast feed endpoint formats the podcast episodes stored in the localdatabase into an RSS feed for your podcast client to monitor. This feed provides your podcast client direct URLs to the same full-length and ad-free episodes that the mobile app plays.
DailyWirePodcastProxy.ini and add your DailyWire username/passwordA systemd unit file dailywire-podcast-proxy.service is provided for convenience.
DailyWirePodcastProxy can be run via Docker with the container ghcr.io/fpnewton/dailywirepodcastproxy:master. Editing DailyWirePodcastProxy.ini with your credentials is still required, and the AccessKey will be written-back to the mapped file (assuming write is permitted).
Note The
[Host]section ofDailyWirePodcastProxy.inishould be changed tohttp://0.0.0.0:9473to allow access from outside the container (in addition to the port mapping in Docker)
A docker-compose.yml file is provided as an example to build off of.
DailyWirePodcastProxy is configured by editing DailyWirePodcastProxy.ini
[Account] SectionUsername is your DailyWire account usernamePassword is your DailyWire account password[Host] SectionHost The full address for this service to listen on. Host must include scheme, host and port (Default: http://127.0.0.1:9473)BasePath The base path for this service to listen on. This is useful for when the service is behind a reverse proxy and must include a leading / (Default: /)[Authentication] SectionAccessKey The access key required to interact with the service. See below for more details. [Jobs] SectionFor more information about the cron syntax used, see Quartz.NET Cron Trigger Expressions documentation.
CheckForNewEpisodes The cron job schedule for how often new episodes are queried. (Default: Every 15 minutes)CheckAuthentication The cron job schedule for how often the access token is checked. New tokens are retrieved at 75% of the current token's lifetime. (Default: Every hour)[TokenStorage] SectionFilePath Relative path to where authentication tokens are stored. This file must be readable and writable by the running service.[Logging:LogLevel] SectionThis allows you to customize the logging levels for the service. For more information, see .NET Logging documentation.
When the servie is first started, the service will auto-generate a unique access key.
DailyWirePodcastProxy.ini will be automatically updated with the generated access key here:
[Authentication]
AccessKey = LokYdDAw23dBTEo7t753q1This access key is required for all API usage of this service and must be passed in the URL as query parameter auth otherwise the service will return a 403 error if it is missing.
To get a list of available podcasts, you can view /podcasts in your browser:
http://127.0.0.1:9473/podcasts?auth=LokYdDAw23dBTEo7t753q1
This endpoint will return a JSON list of available podcasts and their respective RSS feed URLs. The feed URL includes the access key and can be opened by your podcast client.
Note: These feed URLs are specific to your account and should not be shared. Please make sure your podcast client is configured to handle this as a private feed.
Pocket Casts supports private RSS feeds and you can add custom feeds here: https://pocketcasts.com/submit/
Enter the feed URL returned by the /podcasts endpoint in the Feed URL box. An example feed URL behind a reverse proxy looks like this:
http://my.domain.com/podcasts/ckx5tt6x72rns0869otk48cf7/feed?auth=LokYdDAw23dBTEo7t753q1Make sure to select the Private option so this feed is not cached in their podcast repository.
