Acast is a podcast hosting, distribution, and advertising marketplace that helps creators publish shows, distribute to every major listening platform, and monetize through dynamic ad insertion and sponsorships. Acast exposes a documented public Publishing API for programmatically managing shows and episodes - listing shows and episodes, fetching details, and creating, updating, and deleting episodes - plus placing ad markers and receiving webhook notifications for events like new episode publications. The API is documented openly at developers.acast.com, but access is gated - an X-API-Key credential is issued by Acast's customer success team to accounts on the Ace plan or in the Acast Creator Network.
