Podcastle

Podcastle is an AI audio and podcast creation platform whose developer engine, Async, exposes a low-latency Voice API for human-like text-to-speech, a browsable voice library, and instant voice cloning from a short audio sample. The API is served from https://api.async.com and authenticated with an x-api-key header plus a version header. Transcription is a Podcastle platform feature; no standalone transcription endpoint is documented in the public Voice API.

Podcastle publishes 2 APIs on the APIs.io network: Text to Speech API and Voices API. Tagged areas include Artificial Intelligence, Audio, Text-to-Speech, Voice Cloning, and Podcasting.

Podcastle’s developer surface includes authentication, engineering blog, documentation, and 7 more developer resources.

Kin Score Kin Score How this is scored →
scored 2026-09-08 · rubric v0.20.0
Create-or-Update Ergonomics applies to this provider. This API accepts writes, so it carries 10 points of the composite. It is scored from the published contracts themselves: whether a caller can create-or-update in one call, whether the write accepts a key the caller already holds, and whether the response says which branch ran. Without that, every write needs a search-and-branch in front of it, and the first time that check is skipped a duplicate record is created. Scored against the observed mean rather than raw — a provider at the catalog average is unchanged by this facet, not penalised by it.
Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/podcastle: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
