  title: Transistor API
  description: >-
    The Transistor API is a public REST API for the Transistor podcast hosting
    and analytics platform. It follows the JSON:API specification, accepts JSON
    or form-encoded request bodies, and returns JSON:API resource objects. It
    supports sparse fieldsets and included related resources. Authentication is
    via an x-api-key header carrying an API key generated in the Transistor
    dashboard Account area. The API covers shows, episodes, download analytics,
    private podcast subscribers, and event webhooks. Requests are rate-limited
    to 10 requests per 10 seconds; exceeding the limit returns HTTP 429 and
    blocks access for 10 seconds.
