Crawling the site

We try to put all publicly available data back into feeds and OPML resources. That way you can reuse standard software. You may create an issue if you need more functionality.

Torrent data by enclosure URL

Obtain torrent (and source) information by URL of the original podcast files. The endpoint allows multiple URLs to be processed at once. They query key must start with url and you should URL-escape the values for safety.
