PodKit
Podcast search, metadata & transcripts API — from $15/mo
PodKit is a developer-friendly podcast data API: search, episode metadata, chapters, and transcripts as clean JSON — starting at $15/month, with caching allowed and no attribution logo required. Ships a first-party MCP server so AI agents (Claude, etc.) can use it directly as tools on the same key and quota.
Hey PH! Built this because every podcast API I looked at either started at $75+/month or restricted basic things like caching. Free tier is 500 requests/month, no card required. Happy to answer anything — pricing, architecture, MCP setup, whatever.
finally an api that doesn't slap an attribution logo on my project, and getting transcripts back as json instead of scraping rss feeds saved me a weekend
would love a webhook option for new episode drops so my pipeline can react without polling the search endpoint every few minutes, would save a lot of requests on my quota
The fact that transcripts and chapters come back as clean JSON without any extra fluff is such a relief compared to wrestling with RSS feeds. Shipping an MCP server on the same key is a really thoughtful move for AI workflows.
Would love to see webhook support for new episodes on subscribed shows, since polling the API to check for updates feels wasteful. Even a simple push notification on new content would save a ton of quota for anyone building monitoring tools on top of this.
finally an API that doesn't make me jump through hoops just to get transcript data, and the MCP server actually worked on the first try with my Claude setup
