Export Apple Podcasts search CSV

Export Apple Podcasts search results to CSV (no API key)

Need Apple Podcasts search hits in a spreadsheet? Use Apple Podcasts Scraper (taroyamada/apple-podcast-scraper).

Paste a keyword, keep limit at 3, Start, then Dataset → Download → CSV. No Apple API key. Search + limit 3 ≈ $0.0125. From $2.50 / 1,000 results.

This page is keyword → show list → CSV. Chart ranks and review text are sibling Actors — not this export.

Try for free → open Input (search + limit 3) → Start

Open Input with the prefill intact - do not clear Limit

The paying proof on this page is one path: Try for free → Input → leave the prefill → Start → Dataset → Download CSV.

Do these three things on Input before you click Start:

  1. Leave searchTerm as technology (or swap one keyword you care about).
  2. Leave limit at 3. Empty Limit still falls back to 3, but clearing it to hunt for “50” only delays the first useful CSV.
  3. Leave includeEpisodes false. Episodes are a later, slower path - not required for a show list.

Sign in is required to Start. You do not need an Apple API key. When the run finishes, open the default Dataset and choose Download CSV.

Search + limit 3 ≈ $0.0125 if three rows and one Start event charge. From $2.50 / 1,000 results. Raise limit only after those three rows look right.

Try for free → open Input (search + limit 3) → Start

Dataset → Download CSV

  1. Open Store → Try for free → Input. Sign in to Apify (an Apify account is required to run).
  2. Keep the Store live prefill: searchTerm technology, country us, limit 3 (default is 3, not 50), includeEpisodes false. Leave delivery on dataset.
  3. Click Start.
  4. When the run succeeds, open the default Dataset and choose Download CSV (JSON is in the same view).

You do not need an Apple API key, Apple ID, or proxy. You do need an Apify account to Start the run and download the file.

Open Store → Try for free → Input → leave search + limit 3 → Start → Dataset → Download CSV.

Cheapest first CSV (limit 3)

Paste this JSON if the form is empty. Do not raise limit until three rows look right. Do not set includeEpisodes true on the first export; that path is slower and is not required for a show list.

{
  "searchTerm": "technology",
  "country": "us",
  "limit": 3,
  "includeEpisodes": false
}

Live PPE (copy only; Store prices unchanged): Actor Start $0.005 + result $0.0025 per default-dataset row. Search + limit 3 ≈ $0.0125 if 3 rows and one Start event charge. Store card: From $2.50 / 1,000.

What the CSV contains

Each search row is a public catalog hit (rowType sample: podcast_search_result), not a chart position and not a review. After Start succeeds, open the default Dataset and choose Download CSV (JSON is in the same view). Leave delivery on dataset for this path.

Column Meaning on search rows
collectionId Apple Podcasts collection ID (use later for reviews / charts siblings)
showName Show title from the public catalog
publisher Publisher / artist string when present
country Storefront country used for the search (prefill us)
sourceUrl Public Apple Podcasts page URL
fetchedAt Fetch timestamp for the row
rank Null on search rows (ranks belong on Chart Scraper)

How this path differs from other Apple Podcasts Actors on Apify

On Google (live check 2026-09-19, gl=us hl=en), page-1 results for queries such as apple podcast scraper apify and nearby scraper variants were dominated by other Apify Store Actors (examples observed on page 1: automation-lab, jupri/cat-family listings, and similar Store cards). Our Store detail and this guide were not on organic page 1 in that snapshot. Treat that as a traffic fact, not a feature scoreboard.

This page does not claim a Google rank. It owns one job: export Apple Podcasts search results to CSV with no Apple API key — Input prefill searchTerm technology + limit 3, episodes off, then Dataset → Download CSV. Actors that lead with all-in-one rental, episode MP3/RSS harvest, or directory/email enrichment are different jobs; use them when that is the deliverable. When the deliverable is a small keyword show list as CSV, use the Input link on this page.

Is the default Apple Podcasts search limit 3 or 50?

The live default and Store prefill for limit is 3, not 50. Empty or omitted limit falls back to 3. The allowed range is 1–200. Keep the first CSV export at 3, then raise limit after those rows are useful.

Do I need an Apple API key to export Apple Podcasts search results to CSV?

No. Keyword search uses the public iTunes Search API. You do not need an Apple developer key, Apple ID, proxy, or private podcast dashboard. The Actor is not affiliated with or endorsed by Apple.

Do I need an Apify account to run this export?

Yes. The run happens on Apify. Open the Actor Input, sign in or create an Apify account, then Start. After the run finishes, export the default dataset as CSV from the dataset view.

How do I download the CSV after Start?

Leave delivery on dataset. When the run succeeds, open the default Dataset and choose Download CSV (JSON is also available in the same view). Do not switch to webhook until you have reviewed the CSV columns. See webhooks only after the file looks right.

What does a first search-to-CSV run cost?

Live pay-per-event prices are Actor Start $0.005 and result $0.0025 per default-dataset item ($2.50 per 1,000 results). Search + limit 3 ≈ $0.0125 if the run writes 3 rows and charges one Start event. Actual row count can be fewer than limit.

Does this CSV include chart ranks or review text?

No. Search rows have rank null and do not include review text. This page is keyword search to CSV. Chart ranks belong on Apple Podcasts Chart Scraper. Public ratings belong on Apple Podcasts Reviews Scraper after you already have collection IDs.

What columns are in the search CSV?

Search results are source-linked dataset items. Sample rowType is podcast_search_result. Documented fields include collectionId, showName, publisher, country, sourceUrl, and fetchedAt. rank is null on search rows.

Search + limit 3 ≈ $0.0125. From $2.50 / 1,000 results.
