Grep.FM

Save shows into one of the user's Grep.FM lists, creating the list when none has that name. The user can open the list in Grep.FM to review it, add notes, export it as CSV or follow its new episodes. Shows already in the list are skipped; nothing is ever removed.

Shows like this one, for widening a shortlist from one good match.

similar: shows listeners of this one also follow, or failing that, shows alike in category, activity and size. shared_guests: shows connected through people, grouped by person and then by how: booked (booked the same guest), hosts (the guest hosts it) and host_guested (this show's host appeared on it as a guest); get_podcast tells more about any of them. Link a show by putting its id into podcast_link.

Today's top podcasts chart for a country on Apple Podcasts or Spotify, overall or for one category: each show's place, its move since the previous chart, and its Grep.FM id when the show is in the database (pass it to get_podcast, or put it into podcast_link to link the show). Spotify also has a Trending chart.

One episode in full: its show notes as text with link addresses kept (sponsor links, promo codes, guest bios, chapter lists), the guests and sponsors AI found in it, and its links.

The user's Grep.FM lists, their own and those shared by their team. A list of shows holds the podcasts saved to it; a saved search holds filters and always shows the shows matching them now. Pass a list's name to search_podcasts as list to see or filter its shows.

One show in depth: description, publishing rhythm, ratings, chart positions, recent guests and sponsors, social accounts with follower counts, links and the latest episodes. Contact emails come from get_podcast_contacts, listener reviews from get_podcast_reviews.

Contact emails for up to 25 shows, most reliable first (the feed owner's address leads when known).

Each show whose emails are returned counts once toward the user's monthly export quota, the same quota as CSV exports; asking again for a show within 30 days is free, and shows without an email cost nothing. When the quota runs out the remaining shows come back without emails.

Written listener reviews of a show on Apple Podcasts: star rating, title, text, date and storefront country. The first page also counts the reviews at each star rating. A show's overall rating is in get_podcast.

Up to 25 shows in one call, each as the compact row search_podcasts gives (audience, guest and sponsor signals, has_email), in the order asked. Mix Grep.FM ids, Apple Podcasts, Spotify or RSS feed URLs and show titles freely. Use it to check or enrich a list of shows instead of one get_podcast per show, and get_podcast for the few worth reading in depth.

A title has to match a show's title exactly, case aside; when several shows share it, the one with by far the most Apple ratings is taken. Shows that can't be pinned down come back under unresolved with the reason and, for titles, candidates to pick from by id.

Search 100M+ podcast episodes by the words in their titles and show notes: brand, product or topic mentions, or a person's appearances. Each result names its show (its category, Apple rating count and, among the recent episodes AI analyzed, how many had a guest), the guests and sponsors AI found in the episode, and a snippet: where the keyword matched in the show notes, or their opening when it matched only the title or there is no keyword. get_episode reads the full show notes. Unless one_per_podcast is false, a show contributes only its best match. With podcast, lists or searches a single show's episodes. Link a show by putting its id into podcast_link.

Search Grep.FM's database of 3M+ podcasts with the same filters as the Grep.FM app: keyword, category, language, activity, publishing rhythm, audience size (ratings, social followers, chart positions), guests and sponsors found in recent episodes (search_by guests or sponsors finds shows by a person or a brand), whether a contact email is on file, and more.

Each show comes with its audience, guest and sponsor signals and has_email; the emails themselves come from get_podcast_contacts. guest_episodes and sponsor_episodes count among analyzed_episodes, the recent episodes AI has read. Link a show by putting its id into podcast_link. Without a keyword or order_by, results follow a quality ranking. grepfm_url opens the same search in the Grep.FM app, where every result can be browsed and exported.
