Free allowance included. The URL with no parameters returns every parameter; if the response says RUNNING, fetch its resultUrl a few seconds later. Agent guide

About

Searches the Apple Podcasts (iTunes) directory for your keywords using the official public iTunes Search API (no key required) and returns each matching show as a structured item:

show name, publisher/artist, Apple Podcasts URL
RSS feed URL (feed the results straight into the Podcast Episodes scraper)
artwork in multiple sizes, genres, episode count, latest release date
explicitness rating and country

Data source: itunes.apple.com/search JSON API — fast and reliable, no HTML parsing involved.

Tip: set country to a two-letter store code (e.g. us, gb, de) to search a specific regional directory.

`maxResultsPerQuery` integer	How many podcasts to return for each query (API max 200).(default: 25)
