REST API?

  • Hi! I’ve been using the plugin for a while, but would find a Rest API very helpful. I’ve tried a number of things to create a podcast episode via JSON, and it looks like there’s a Rest API but apparently only connects to CastOS?

    I’ve been able to find the URL to the JSON episodes, which had a lot of useful information about what goes into an episode, but couldn’t create a podcast with that URL.

    Is there a way to create podcast episodes programmatically?

    I’d been using this method to create posts, but haven’t been able to figure out how to extend that to podcast episodes.

    Is there a way? All I found in the forums was a question from over 2 years ago saying podcasts can’t be uploaded via the API because it doesn’t support uploading.

    I’m not looking to upload a podcast; I’m looking to create a podcast via the REST API and link it to a file I will have already uploaded.

    Thanks!

    Hi there @kindav,

    The REST API is only for Castos users at this time.

    Since you’ve had success using the method you linked to with posts, have you tried using Posts as your podcast episodes rather than the custom post type episodes?

    From the Help Center article:

    > This will add the episode information fields to the WordPress post editor. When this option selected, episodes will be published from Posts > Add New and podcast episodes are intermingled with blog posts.

    Let us know if that works for you and have a good day.
