Captivate is a growth-oriented podcast hosting, distribution, and analytics platform. Its public REST API at https://api.captivate.fm lets developers authenticate a user, read and manage shows and their RSS feeds, create and update episodes, upload and search media (audio) files, and pull detailed listening analytics (insights) at the podcast and episode level. Access is self-serve - any account holder can generate a user ID and API token from the API section of their Captivate account and exchange them for a Bearer token. The API is documented as a public Postman collection at docs.captivate.fm.
