Apple Connector for Podcast Data

Apple Connector

This is a simple library for connecting to the inofficial Apple podcast API.
It can be used to export data from your dashboard at https://podcastsconnect.apple.com.

Supported Data

• Podcast Overview
• Trends
• Episodes Overview
• Episode Details

Credentials

We need the myacinfo and itctx cookies from your browser to authenticate. They can be found through the network tab in your browser's developer tools. Add them to .env as MYACINFO and ITCTX. (You need to quote the values, as they may contain |.)

Installation

pip install appleconnector

Usage as a library

from appleconnector import AppleConnector

# Set up the connector
connector = AppleConnector(
    showId='1642486726',
    myacinfo="your_myacinfo_cookie",
    itctx="your_itctx_cookie"
)

# Get Podcast overview data
connector.overview()

# ...

See __main.py__ for all endpoints.

Development

We use [Pipenv] for virtualenv and dev dependency management. With Pipenv installed:

1. Install your locally checked out code in [development mode], including its dependencies, and all dev dependencies into a virtual environment:

pipenv sync --dev

2. Create an environment file and fill in the required values:

cp .env.example .env

3. Run the script in the virtual environment, which will [automatically load your .env][env]:

pipenv run appleconnector

To add a new dependency for use during the development of this library:

pipenv install --dev $package

To add a new dependency necessary for the correct operation of this library, add the package to the install_requires section of ./setup.py, then:

pipenv install

To publish the package:

python setup.py sdist bdist_wheel
twine upload dist/*

or

make publish
