Podcast API Rust Library

The official Rust library for the Listen Notes Podcast API. Search podcasts and episodes, fetch metadata, and manage playlists. Questions: hello@listennotes.com.

Installation

Requires Rust 1.88+ and a Tokio runtime. Cargo manages dependencies, builds, tests, and publishing; no separate package manager is needed.

[dependencies]
podcast-api = "3.1.0"
serde_json = "1"
tokio = { version = "1", features = ["macros", "rt-multi-thread"] }

Usage

Path identifiers are separate positional string arguments. Other parameters use serde_json::json!. Client::new(None) uses the stateless public mock API; Client::new(Some(key)) uses production with your Listen API key.

use serde_json::json;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    let client = podcast_api::Client::new(None);
    let response = client.fetch_podcast_by_id(
        "4d3fe717742d4963a85562e9f84d8c79", &json!({"sort": "recent_first"}),
    ).await?;
    println!("Status: {}", response.response.status());
    println!("Headers: {:?}", response.response.headers());
    println!("{}", response.json().await?);
    Ok(())
}

Reuse a client for connection pooling. Clients keep their own API keys and configuration. Defaults are a 30-second total timeout, 10-second connection timeout, and no redirects or automatic retries. Use Client::http_client_builder() and Client::new_custom() to adjust the HTTP configuration. Supplying an independently built reqwest client also supplies its redirect, retry, proxy, and timeout policies. with_base_url() supports a local test server; it sends the client's credentials to that URL, so only select a server you control.

Handling errors and upgrading from 1.x

3.0.0 uses Rust 2024 and reqwest 0.13, with Rust 1.88 as the minimum compiler. Existing method names, positional identifiers, JSON parameters, and the Response { response, request } wrapper remain. New playlist write methods use the same conventions, including two positional identifiers for item operations.

HTTP error variants now carry response context: match Error::NotFoundError(_) instead of Error::NotFoundError. The enum is non-exhaustive; include a fallback arm. HTTP 403 is PermissionDeniedError; all non-2xx responses are errors. error.api_error() exposes status, headers, and the unmodified body. Displaying an error includes server details. Connection errors preserve their original cause.

Empty descriptions and notes are sent as empty strings; omitted and null fields are skipped. Path identifiers, query strings, and form bodies are URL-encoded. The default User-Agent is podcast-api-rust <version>.

Development

cargo test --locked
cargo fmt --all --check
cargo clippy --locked --all-targets -- -D warnings
cargo doc --locked --no-deps
cargo run --locked --example sample
cargo package --locked

cargo test uses a loopback HTTP fixture, never production or the public mock. README examples compile as doctests without executing requests. The sample is a separate, explicit read-only call to the public mock.

Run the opt-in network suite separately:

cargo test --locked --test mock_integration -- --ignored --test-threads=1

It only calls the public mock API without credentials, with proxies, redirects, and retries disabled. The mock is stateless; these checks do not prove write persistence or production authorization. CI tests the minimum and latest stable compiler, and runs mock integration separately.

Commit Cargo.lock to reproduce development and CI. Library consumers resolve compatible dependencies from Cargo.toml. Generated methods, the contract, method dispatch used by tests, and the marked README sections come from the Listen Notes monorepo's sync.py rust; do not edit generated sections directly. The crate builds and tests independently of that repository. Publication to crates.io and GitHub release creation are separate review steps.

API reference

Methods accept positional path identifiers followed by &serde_json::Value parameters and return Result<Response>. Examples use the public mock server. Pass an API key to Client::new(Some(key)) for real requests.

search

Full-text search

GET /search

Full-text search on episodes, podcasts, or curated lists of podcasts. Use the offset parameter to paginate through search results. The FREE plan allows to see up to 30 search results (or offset < 30) per query. The PRO plan allows to see up to 300 search results (or offset < 300) per query. The ENTERPRISE plan allows to see up to 10,000 search results (or offset < 10000) per query.

fetch_playlist_by_id

Fetch a playlist's info and items (i.e., episodes or podcasts).

GET /playlists/{id}

A playlist can contain both episodes and podcasts, shown in separate views, just like playlists created via listennotes.com/listen/. This endpoint fetches items from the saved default view unless type is specified. The response type and listennotes_url describe the selected view. You can use the last_pub_date_ms parameter to do pagination and fetch more items. A playlist can be public (discoverable on ListenNotes.com), unlisted (accessible to anyone who knows the playlist id), or private (accessible when the API admin has active playlist membership). Public and unlisted playlists can also be fetched by ID regardless of their owner.

use serde_json::json;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    let client = podcast_api::Client::new(None);

Full API documentation

create_playlist

Create a playlist.

POST /playlists

Create an empty playlist owned by the API admin. Name is required; description defaults to an empty string, visibility defaults to public, and type defaults to episode_list. Set type to podcast_list to make podcasts the default view. The response includes the saved type and its listennotes_url.

Only playlists owned by your admin API account can be modified; contributor membership does not grant write access.

use serde_json::json;

    Ok(())
}

Full API documentation

update_playlist

Update playlist metadata.

PUT /playlists/{id}

Update any subset of name, description, visibility, and type. Omitted fields remain unchanged; at least one field is required. Switching to private rotates the playlist RSS secret. Type selects the saved default view (episode_list or podcast_list) and the returned listennotes_url; changing it preserves all existing episodes and podcasts.

Only playlists owned by your admin API account can be modified; contributor membership does not grant write access.

    Ok(())
}

Full API documentation

delete_playlist

Delete a playlist.

DELETE /playlists/{id}

Permanently delete a playlist, including all episode and podcast references saved in this specific playlist and their notes. The actual episodes and podcasts remain in the Listen Notes podcast database.

Warning: Deletion cannot be undone. Once deleted, the playlist is gone, regardless of how many episodes or podcasts it contains. You, the developer, are responsible for adding a confirmation step in your app's UI before calling this endpoint to prevent accidental deletion.

Only playlists owned by your admin API account can be modified; contributor membership does not grant write access.

}

Full API documentation

add_playlist_item

Add an episode or podcast to a playlist.

POST /playlists/{id}/items

Provide exactly one non-empty episode_id or podcast_id; an empty unused ID field is ignored. Invalid ID formats return 400 and identify the field. A missing episode or podcast returns 404 with an error such as "Episode not found: {episode_id}." or "Podcast not found: {podcast_id}.". Existing active items are reused (200); new or restored items return 201. Omitted notes preserve existing notes, including when restoring a deleted item; supplied notes replace them.
