Quick Start

Working in 5 minutes

1. Sign up and get your API key
2. Drop the skill file into your AI agent, or hit the API directly from your script
3. Search, pull details, automate

The skill file at app.podseeker.co/podseeker-agent.md works as a one-line setup for Claude Code, Cursor, and any AI agent that can fetch markdown. Prefer working in code? The API is two endpoints away from anything you want to build.

# Search example
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer ps_your_key" \
  "https://app.podseeker.co/api/v1/podcasts/search?query=entrepreneurship"

# Get full podcast details

Demo

10 personalized pitches in 5 minutes

A founder prompts Claude Code: "Find me 10 podcasts where I can talk about bootstrapping, building SaaS, and the AI agent ecosystem. Pull the contacts. Draft a pitch for each."

The agent runs four parallel searches across topics, consolidates the results, tiers them by angle fit, pulls contacts for the top 10, and drafts a personalized cold pitch for each.

What used to take hours of manual research per pitch now runs as a single prompt. The workflow consumes about 14 credits, well within the 2,000 included with the $99/month plan.

This is the workflow the API was built for.

HOW IT WORKS

How the Podseeker Podcast API Works

—————
Two Endpoints

Two endpoints. Everything you need.

The API has two endpoints by design. Agents don't need a 40-endpoint surface. They need the right data on each call.

‍GET /api/v1/podcasts/search

Search by topic, audience size, location, booking difficulty, and 15+ other filters. Returns up to 50 podcasts per page with title, host, listener estimate, booking difficulty, recent activity, and topic tags.

‍GET /api/v1/podcasts/:id

Full podcast profile: verified host and producer emails, host bios, guest caliber requirements, recent guests, episode topics, audience demographics, social stats, and an AI-generated pitching description for guest outreach.

Data That Matters

Outreach intelligence, not just metadata.

Anyone can give you a podcast's title and description. Podseeker gives you the data that determines whether to pitch:

- Verified contacts. Continuous crawling, third-party triangulation, and email verification through a trusted platform.
- Booking difficulty. How selective is the show? Easy to very high.
- Guest caliber. What credentials do recent guests have?
- Host bios. Know who you're pitching before writing.
- Pitching description. AI-generated angle on how to approach each show.
- Recent guests and episode topics. What has the show actually covered recently?

Same data trusted by PR pros through our SaaS product since 2021. Now exposed for agents.

Built for Automation

Drop in. Done.

The API is designed for automation. AI agents, custom scripts, MCP servers, internal tools. No SDK to install, no OAuth flow, no complex setup.

- Skill file at app.podseeker.co/podseeker-agent.md. One fetch and your agent knows the workflow.
- llms.txt at app.podseeker.co/llms.txt. Machine-readable API description for any agent that supports the standard.
- Clean JSON, consistent field names. No legacy quirks.
- Usage headers on every response. x-credits-remaining lets scripts and agents self-regulate spending.
- Bearer token auth. Curl works.

Works with Claude Code, Cursor, custom MCP agents, Python scripts, n8n workflows, or anything that can make HTTP requests.

API vs. SaaS

Which Podseeker is right for you?

The Podseeker API and Podseeker SaaS use the same data, serve different workflows.

Podseeker API ($99/month + usage)

For developers, AI agent builders, AI consultants, and founders comfortable wiring up tools like Claude Code or writing their own scripts. Research and contact data delivered via API. You build the workflow.

Podseeker SaaS (from $49/month)

For PR professionals who want a full pitching workflow out of the box. Database, media lists, pitch templates, mailbox integration, sequences, reply tracking. We build the workflow.

Most customers pick one based on their stack. Some agencies use both: the SaaS for client work, the API for internal automation.

SUPPORT

Podcast API FAQs

What's a credit?

One credit equals one API call. Both endpoints (search and details) consume 1 credit per request. A typical research workflow costs about 11-14 credits.

What happens if I exceed 2,000 credits?

Overage runs at $0.05/credit, automatically billed at the end of the month. Set a hard spend cap in your account settings to prevent surprise charges. Default cap is $500/month.

Is there a free trial?

No. The $99/month plan is the entry point. Cancel anytime, no minimum term.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. No contract, no minimum term. Cancel from your account settings and access continues through the end of your current billing period.

What data is included in each podcast profile?

Title, host names, host bios, verified emails, booking difficulty, guest caliber, recent guests, episode topics, audience estimate, location, social stats, and an AI-generated pitching description. Full schema in the [API docs](https://app.podseeker.co/api/docs).

Is the contact data really verified?

We verify contacts through multiple layers: continuous automated crawling, third-party triangulation, and email verification. We refresh as contacts go stale. Same data trusted by PR teams through our SaaS since 2021.

Does it work with Claude Code?

Yes. Drop the skill file into your Claude Code session and the agent knows how to use the API immediately. Also works with Cursor, custom MCP agents, and any agent that can fetch a markdown file. Prefer code? The API is two endpoints, Bearer token auth. Standard HTTP libraries in any language work.

What's the rate limit?

60 requests per minute per API key. For higher throughput, get in touch.

Can I build my own product on the API?

Yes. The standard plan covers building products on top of the API. For high-volume integration partners (sustained heavy usage, white-label, co-marketing), email oky@podseeker.co to discuss.

Do I need to display Podseeker branding?

No. Data is yours to use however you want, no attribution required.

What's the difference between API and SaaS?

Same data, different delivery. The API is for developers and agent builders who want raw research data. The SaaS is for PR pros who want a complete pitching workflow out of the box.

Do you have an SDK?

No. The API is simple enough that you don't need one. Two endpoints, Bearer token auth, clean JSON. Standard HTTP libraries in any language work.

Start building.

$99/month. 2,000 credits. Two endpoints. Cancel anytime.
