podcast_search

A library for searching for podcasts, parsing podcast RSS feeds and obtaining episodes details. Supports searching via iTunes and PodcastIndex.

Usage

Search for podcasts with 'widgets' in the title and find the top podcasts. Both examples limit to 10 results and are set for the United Kingdom:

import 'package:podcast_search/podcast_search.dart';

// ignore_for_file: avoid_print
void main() async {
  var search = Search();

  /// Search for podcasts with 'widgets' in the title.
  var results =
  await search.search('widgets', country: Country.unitedKingdom, limit: 10);

  /// List the name of each podcast found.
  for (var result in results.items) {
    print('Found podcast: ${result.trackName}');
  }

  /// Parse the first podcast.
  final feed = results.items[0].feedUrl;

  /// It is possible to get back a podcast with a missing feed URL, so check that.
  if (feed != null) {
    var podcast = await Feed.loadFeed(url: feed);

    /// Display episode titles.
    for (var episode in podcast.episodes) {
      print('Episode title: ${episode.title}');
    }
  }

  /// Find the top 10 podcasts in the UK.
  var charts = await search.charts(limit: 10, country: Country.unitedKingdom);

  /// List the name of each podcast found.
  for (var result in charts.items) {
    print('Episode title: ${result.trackName}');
  }
}
