Show HN: The best Podcast Details + Podcast Search API

Taddy’s Podcast API helps anyone build a great podcast app. To give some context on why this is helpful, 4 years ago I built Podyssey Podcasts ([https://podyssey.fm](https://podyssey.fm/)) and it would have saved me a lot of time if Taddy had existed at that time. What is unique about podcasts is that no one company owns podcasts. in fact, anyone can build their own podcast feed, all you have to do is output an RSS feed in a certain format. Here are some of the things Taddy’s API can help you with:

1) Since, anyone can create their own RSS feed, that means these feeds can be inconsistent or messy. We’ve taken the time (and have the experience) to deal with edge cases for bad or missing data. 2) There are 2 million podcasts which may update at any time, but your users want to know right away when there is a newly released episode. We sent you a event through a webhook when new episodes are released, so you can update your app or notify your users about the new episode. 3) Fast search through all 2 million podcasts & 60 million episodes.

There are alternatives to Taddy’s API like Listen Notes, the PodcastIndex and Apple’s iTunes API. I wrote a quick summary on the key difference here: [https://taddy.org/blog/best-podcast-api-tools](https://taddy...

Lastly, there is a bigger idea that i am working towards. I really believe in the idea of feeds to power different types of content other than podcasts. Taddy is starting with a Podcast API, but I will be launching a Comics API and a Music API within the next year. They will all be powered by open standard feeds (just like podcasts), so anyone can easily build a comic or music app based on them.
