6. Can I get Apple Podcasts Reviews (iTunes Reviews)? 🔗
No. We don't and we can't sell Apple Podcasts Reviews, because that's Apple's proprietary data.
However, you can easily fetch Apple Podcasts Reviews via Apple's own urls.
Example - Here's the url to get Apple Podcasts Reviews for the podcast with the Apple Podcasts id (iTunes id)
1330329512:
https://itunes.apple.com/us/rss/customerreviews/id=1330329512/sortby=mostrecent/json
You can get Apple Podcasts IDs (iTunes IDs) from our
podcast search engine website,
podcast api,
or podcast datasets.
Once you get Apple Podcast IDs (iTunes IDs), it's trivial to get reviews.
7. How can I avoid double purchasing metadata for the same podcast? 🔗
By default, we already exclude the same metadata that exist in your previous orders. So you won't purchase the same data
again.
But in case you want the updated version of the same podcast data, you can turn off the filter "Exclude podcasts in past orders".
