Podcast Clients

AllPodcasts.com is used behind the scenes by a couple of most excellent clients:

• jPodder for Windows, a podcast client written in Java.
• Doppler Radio, a podcast client for Windows written in .NET.

If you develop a client that uses the AllPodcasts index, or you use a client that does, please remember that AllPodcasts doesn't charge for its service, and it makes no money from information provided through XML.  (The only revenue at the minute is from the adverts on the web site.)

I'm pleased to bits whenever someone writes code to integrate a client with AllPodcasts.com.  If you're developing a new client, you should feel free to take advantage of the facilities AllPodcasts.com provides.

Here are some of the facilities that might be useful to your client:

• Searching.  AllPodcast can return results of searches against podcast series and podcast episodes.  In all cases, they take one parameter, called 'search', whose value is the search term:
  • podcast series (an HTTP GET returned as OPML 1.1).
  • podcast episodes (an HTTP GET returned as RSS 2.0).
  • podcast episodes (an HTTP GET with feed URLs aggregated together into OPML 1.1).
• Pinging.  You can ping our index through XML-RPC to let us know a podcast feed has been updated, instead of using the standard web form.

If you want to use AllPodcast.com's functionality on your site or on your client application, please feel free to use the following logos.  Their use isn't mandatory - I'm just happy the site is useful.
