Overcast URL to podcast information

Python library to obtain RSS feed URL from Overcast link, built especially for Pythonista

Installation / Upgrade

This can be installed one of two ways:

First, it can be installed directly in Pythonista with StaSh

pip install overcast-parser

Alternately, you can copy this entire repo to Pythonista and start immediately editing demo.py. This can be done i.e. with a git tool in Pythonista or, on your Mac, copying this to the Pythonista3 iCloud directory.

Usage

See demo.py for full pythonista script

from overcast_parser.OvercastParser import OvercastParser


parser = OvercastParser()

data = requests.get(overcast_url).text

(itunes_id, stream_url, overcast_id, title, feed_url) = parser.parse_overcast(data)

Shortcut

demo.py is meant to be used from either the share extension or from an iOS Shortcut. (Note that due to Pythonista limitations share extension cannot call a script in iCloud.)

You can download a shortcut here or create one like:

Where the final URL block is like (adjusted for your path or removing root=icloud)

pythonista3://overcast_parser/demo.py?action=run&root=icloud&args=URL Encoded Text
