Use Listen API in a podcast hosting service

If you’re a podcast hosting service (e.g., Libsyn, Anchor), you might want to help your users (i.e., podcasters) add or delete their podcasts on Listen Notes.

Why help your users submit podcasts to Listen Notes?

It’s simple: you want to help them reach more listeners! Once a podcast is added to our database, it will be immediately available on ListenNotes.com and in 7,800+ apps and services that use our API.

Why help your users delete podcasts from Listen Notes?

If your users want to remove their podcasts, it’s best to assist them in deleting the show from as many directories as possible (e.g., Apple Podcasts, Listen Notes, Spotify) to avoid unnecessary customer support requests. Providing a one-button, self-service option makes this process much smoother for everyone.

How to integrate with Listen Notes

You can use two API endpoints to allow your users to add or delete podcasts directly from your platform. This could be a great starter project for an intern or a new employee:

• POST /podcasts/submit
• DELETE /podcasts/{id}

After you submit or delete a podcast, our team manually reviews the request, which usually takes a few minutes to a few hours (definitely within 12 hours).

Optional: Get notified

If you’d like to be notified when your podcast submission or deletion is approved, you can set up webhooks via the dashboard.
