Podbean is a podcast hosting, distribution, and monetization platform for creators, businesses, and networks. Its public REST API (base https://api.podbean.com/v1) uses OAuth 2.0 and lets third-party apps and integrations manage a user's podcast programmatically - read podcast profiles, list and publish/update/delete episodes, authorize media file uploads, embed players via oEmbed, and pull download, engagement, and advertising analytics reports. Apps can act on behalf of a single podcast (Client Credentials) or across many podcasts (Multiple Podcasts tokens) for agencies and networks.
