Podcast Episode API
GET /v1/episode/{id}
Fetch one episode by its PodKit episode id and get its full metadata plus a compact reference to the parent show. Handy when you’ve already got an episode id (from the metadata endpoint) and just need that one record — for a detail view, a webhook payload, or a citation.
Example
curl
curl "https://podkitapp.com/v1/episode/42" \
-H "x-api-key: pk_your_key"Response
{
"id": 42,
"guid": "ep-342",

"description": "This week we cover...",
"podcast": { "id": 1200361736, "title": "The Daily Tech", "artist": "Example Media" }
}The {id} here is a PodKit episode id (a stable serial assigned when PodKit ingests a feed), not the iTunes show id. You get episode ids from the metadata endpoint’s episodes[] list. Unknown ids return 404.

Who uses it
Use it for episode detail pages, for re-fetching a single record without paging the whole show, or as the anchor an AI agent cites when it references a specific episode before pulling that episode’s chapters or transcript.
