Podcast API Go Library

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

Installation

Requires Go 1.26 or newer. The SDK uses only the Go standard library.

go get github.com/ListenNotes/podcast-api-go/v3

Usage

Path identifiers are positional strings; other fields use map[string]string. An empty API key selects the stateless public mock. To call production, pass your Listen API key to NewClient.

package main

import (
	"fmt"

	listennotes "github.com/ListenNotes/podcast-api-go/v3"
)

func main() {
	client := listennotes.NewClient("")
	response, err := client.Search(map[string]string{"q": "star wars", "type": "episode"})
	if err != nil {
		fmt.Println(err)
		return
	}
	fmt.Println(response.ToJSON())
	fmt.Println(response.Stats.Usage, response.Stats.FreeQuota)
}

Reuse clients for connection pooling. Each client retains its own API key and configuration. Defaults: 30-second total timeout, 10-second connection timeout, and redirects disabled. The SDK does not add retries. WithHTTPClient accepts your own HTTP client and its timeout, redirect, proxy, and transport policies. WithBaseURL supports local test servers and sends your key to that chosen URL.

Upgrading from 3.0

The HTTPClient interface now also requires DeletePlaylist(id string, args map[string]string) (*Response, error). Custom implementations and mocks of this interface must add the method. Clients returned by NewClient already implement it.

Upgrading from 1.x

• Change imports and go get commands to github.com/ListenNotes/podcast-api-go/v3, as required by Go module versioning.
• Use Go 1.26+. Existing method names, positional identifiers, string parameter maps, Response.Data, Response.Stats, and ToJSON() remain available.
• The HTTPClient interface adds six playlist write methods; custom implementations of that interface must add them too.
• Match errors with errors.Is(err, listennotes.ErrUnauthorized), replacing direct equality checks. Use errors.As(err, &apiError) with var apiError *listennotes.APIError for status, headers, and response body. HTTP 403 is ErrForbidden; all non-2xx statuses return errors.
• Responses also expose StatusCode, Headers, and the unmodified Body, including on HTTP errors. Use named fields when constructing response literals.
• POST/PUT fields are sent in the form body; only declared query fields enter the query string. Path segments are escaped. Empty notes and descriptions are preserved so they can be cleared. DELETE parameters such as reason remain query parameters. Maps passed by callers are not modified.
• Default clients no longer follow redirects. Statistics parsing remains best effort and cannot turn a successful write into an error.

Development

Go's built-in module, formatting, testing, and vet tools cover this project. There are no third-party dependencies or separate tool installations.

go test -race -count=1 ./...
go vet ./...
test -z "$(gofmt -l .)"
go mod tidy -diff
go build ./...

Default tests use loopback HTTP fixtures or mocked transports; they never send requests to production or the public mock. Generated README examples compile as Go examples without executing requests. Run the public mock suite separately:

go test -tags=integration -run '^TestMockIntegration' -count=1 -timeout=3m ./...

Integration tests use only the fixed public mock origin, with no API key, environment-selected destination, proxy, or redirects. They cover all 31 methods. The mock is stateless; these tests do not establish production write persistence or authorization. go run ./example makes one explicit read-only mock request.

The monorepo's sync.py go generates methods, the contract, test dispatch, compile-only examples, and the marked README sections. Do not hand-edit generated outputs. This module builds and tests independently of the monorepo. Publishing the v3.1.0 Git tag and enabling website snippets are separate release steps.

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.

Full API documentation

CreatePlaylist

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.

package main

	listennotes "github.com/ListenNotes/podcast-api-go/v3"
)

func main() {

Full API documentation

UpdatePlaylist

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.

AddPlaylistItem

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.

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	listennotes "github.com/ListenNotes/podcast-api-go/v3"
)

func main() {
	client := listennotes.NewClient("")
	response, err := client.AddPlaylistItem("m1pe7z60bsw", map[string]string{"episode_id": "e53e6992a5b7492f9ea6fcd85d9ad95f", "notes": "Worth a listen."})
	if err != nil {
		fmt.Println(err)
		return
	}
	fmt.Println(response.ToJSON())
}

DeletePlaylistItem

Remove an item from a playlist.

DELETE /playlists/{id}/items/{item_id}

Delete a playlist item. Repeating deletion of the same item succeeds. This does not delete the episode or podcast from the podcast database.

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

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	listennotes "github.com/ListenNotes/podcast-api-go/v3"
)

func main() {
	client := listennotes.NewClient("")
	response, err := client.DeletePlaylistItem("m1pe7z60bsw", "23", nil)
	if err != nil {
		fmt.Println(err)
		return
	}
	fmt.Println(response.ToJSON())
}

PUT /playlists/{id}/items/{item_id}

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