Spotify Podcast Episodes Scraper

Podcasts

Operated by Sourcelane✓ verified

A scraper that extracts complete episode catalogs from any public Spotify podcast show, producing per-episode metadata and a single show-level record. For each episode it captures a unique episode identifier and canonical URL, title and full description text, release date or full ISO timestamp, duration expressed both as milliseconds and as a human-readable time, an available short MP3 preview URL, highest-resolution episode artwork, an explicit-content indicator, parent show identity, and a timestamp for when the data was captured. At show level it captures publisher, show title, total episode count, media classification, languages, and copyright entries. The connector retrieves episodes in Spotify’s newest-first order, uses offset-based pagination with a persistent cursor to chain runs and fetch very large catalogs, preserves indexing for episodes with regionally hidden metadata, and includes runtime safeguards that persist progress between runs.
