Simplecast

Simplecast is a podcast hosting, distribution, and analytics platform for creators, networks, and brands, owned by SiriusXM Media (acquired by SiriusXM in 2020). It provides podcast and episode management, distribution to Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and other channels, embeddable players, and IAB-certified audience analytics. Simplecast exposes a documented REST API at https://api.simplecast.com covering podcasts, episodes, analytics, and distribution channels, authenticated with a bearer token generated from the Private Apps page in the Simplecast dashboard. The API is read-oriented and self-describing - each response returns the actions available to the authenticated user - with a small number of write operations such as uploading episode audio. Access requires a Simplecast account; broader API integration is positioned as part of the higher-tier (Professional / Enterprise) plans.
