How to get a podcast episode by its id in the iTunes API?

853 Views Asked by At

https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/all-in-with-chamath-jason-sacks-friedberg/id1502871393?i=1000538031954 is a podcast episode. Its ID is: 1000538031954.

I'd like to get this episode's info and metadata through the lookup API.

I tried making this API call

https://itunes.apple.com/lookup?id=1000538031954&media=podcast&entity=podcastEpisode

but it returns no results. I'm wondering if there's a way to do that, or is my only option to scrape the url and get the info myself?

Only the show information is available in this API. You can see the media entities that are available in table 2-1 from the documentation: https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/AudioVideo/Conceptual/iTuneSearchAPI/Searching.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40017632-CH5-SW1
