# Dev.to Podcast Episode API

One episode by its path, with the audio URL and show notes.

`GET /v1/dev-to/podcast/episode?path=/codenewbie/s27e8-learning-ai-matt-eland` returns `episode` with `id`, `title`, `url`, `imageUrl`, `publishedAt`, `audioUrl`, `descriptionHtml` and the `podcast` it belongs to. The full episode URL is also accepted in place of the path.

The audio URL is the one Dev.to lists for the episode, so it can pass through a tracking redirect. The description and show notes come back as HTML. A path that is not an episode, or an episode that does not exist, returns `lookupStatus: not_found` with `episode` null.

## FAQ

### What path do I send?

The episode path with two parts, for example /codenewbie/s27e8-learning-ai-matt-eland, or the full episode URL. A path with only the podcast name is refused.

### How many credits does an episode lookup cost?

Pricing is documented on the operation in the API registry (shown on this page). Confirm on every response with meta.creditsCharged: that field is the billing source of truth.

### Where does the audio URL point?

To the audio file Dev.to lists for the episode. It can pass through a tracking redirect, so follow it before storing a direct media link.

### What does lookupStatus mean?

found means the episode was returned. not_found means the path is not an episode or the episode does not exist. HTTP 200 only means the request finished.
