python-pocketcasts

python module to interact with the unofficial Pocket Casts API.

This module is in no way affiliated with or endorsed by shifty jelly! Use at your own risk!


What works

  • Receive podcast and episode listings
  • Receive episode show notes
  • Star and unstar podcast

What is (or at least seems) off limits

Everything not doable via web player:

  • Next up
  • Playlists

I only looked at the web player's api not the android and iOS apps

TODO

  • API documentation
  • docstrings
  • Improve error handling
  • Packaging as PyPI module

Example

import pocketcasts as pc
api = pc.Api('user', 'password')::

my_podcasts = api.my_podcasts()           # get my subscribed podcasts
my_podcast[0].title                       # show first podcasts title
my_podcasts[2].unsubscribe()              # unsubscribe 3rd podcast
my_podcast[5].episodes[3].url             # get url of the 4th episode of 6th podcast

cool_podcast = api.popular_podcasts()[0]
cool_podcast.subscribe()
cool_podcast.episodes[1].starred = True
episode = cool_podcast.episodes[0]
episode.played_up_to = episode.duration / 2 # set the episode exactly half played
