Audible

Audible is an Amazon-owned online audiobook, podcast, and spoken-word entertainment service. It sells and streams audiobooks, Audible Originals, and podcasts through membership plans and a la carte purchases, delivered via web, iOS, Android, Alexa, and Kindle apps. Audible does not operate a public developer program or documented API — its catalog, library, and playback endpoints are a private internal API consumed by its own first-party apps. Community projects (the mkb79/Audible Python library, audible-cli, and omarroth/audible.cr) reverse-engineer that internal API; none are first-party or officially supported. This profile catalogs Audible's public web, help, and legal surface plus the unofficial client ecosystem.

Audible is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Consumer, Audiobooks, Podcasts, and Entertainment.

Audible’s developer surface includes engineering blog, support, and 6 more developer resources.
