So, when the Podcast gets download, then the issue arises on how to track it?īecause once it gets download, then it can be shared over the local network, and it is Out Of Your Reach!

If you are a podcast listener, you might be using applications like iTunes(for Apple users), Stitcher, Spotify, Google Play, and other apps to download, store and listen to whatever Podcast you prefer!Īnyhow, with these platforms available, you might be downloading the Podcast so that you can hear them by clicking the play button in your music library rather than again accessing the app and searching for the same. Podcasts are a little different from other social media platforms. Hopefully I understood your question correctly, I can expand or provide more code if needed.To be honest, it’s a painstaking task to track the performance of iTunes podcast and Spotify podcast. It's just a matter of saving the information from one platform into variables, and the searching then next one with them. It looks like your target platform is iOS, but my code should be a starting point. You'll obviously run into things like artists having the same album titles, or even sharing the same name. But you can certainly filter through them to make sure it matches what you want. I'm taking my chances and just grabbing the first one (the most popular).

With iTunes, a search results in a list of results. results = sp.currently_playing()Īrtist = results Search through the response for the information you want, in my case, it was the artist name and album name. Get the current playing song/artist with the Spotify API. In short, you can use the iTunes API alongside the Spotify API to search for the same results. I did something similar with one of my projects, so hopefully it can get you on the right track.
