# Apple 🍎 Podcasts Extractor (`jupri/apple-podcast`) Actor 💫 All-in-One APPLE.com Podcasts Scraper - **URL**: https://apify.com/jupri/apple-podcast.md - **Developed by:** [cat](https://apify.com/jupri) (community) - **Categories:** Social media, Videos - **Stats:** 265 total users, 0 monthly users, 100.0% runs succeeded, 9 bookmarks - **User rating**: 5.00 out of 5 stars ## Pricing $25.00/month + usage To use this Actor, you pay a monthly rental fee to the developer. The rent is subtracted from your prepaid usage every month after the free trial period. You also pay for the Apify platform usage, which gets cheaper the higher Apify subscription plan you have. Learn more: https://docs.apify.com/actors/running/actors-in-store.md#rental-actors ## What's an Apify Actor? Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. - **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use). - **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`. - **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`. - **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`. - **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Welcome To Apple Podcasts Scraper ![dont be sad readme is here](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/JupriGH/resources/main/cats/catframe.png) ### 🍎 About Apple Podcasts ![enter image description here](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/e7/Podcasts_%28iOS%29.svg) **Apple Podcasts** (known as simply **Podcasts** in Apple operating systems) is an audio [streaming](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streaming_media "Streaming media") service and [media player application](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Media_player_software "Media player software") developed by [Apple Inc.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Inc.

Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "query": [ "square pants" ], "limit": 5 }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("jupri/apple-podcast").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
