  title: Captivate Analytics Shows API
  version: '1.0'
  description: Public REST API for the Captivate podcast hosting, distribution, and analytics platform. Authenticate a user with their user ID and API token to obtain a Bearer token, then manage shows, episodes, and media and read detailed listening analytics (insights). Endpoints, paths, methods, and request fields in this document are transcribed from Captivate's public Postman documentation at https://docs.captivate.fm. Response schemas are modeled honestly - Captivate's public docs describe the requests and fields but do not publish full JSON response schemas, so response bodies below are generic objects and marked as modeled.
