Laravel Client for the Podscan.fm API

This package provides a simple and easy-to-use API client for the Podscan.fm API

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require helgesverre/laravel-podscan

You can publish the config file with:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag="podscan-config"

This is the contents of the published config file:

return [
    'api_key' => env('PODSCAN_API_KEY'),
];

Add your API key to your .env file:

PODSCAN_API_KEY=your_api_key_here

You can generate your API key at https://podscan.fm/user/api-tokens.

Rate Limits

The Podscan API enforces rate limits based on your subscription plan:

Every API response includes the following headers:

• X-RateLimit-Limit: Maximum requests allowed in a 60-minute period
• X-RateLimit-Remaining: Requests remaining in the current rate limit window

Error Handling

This package uses Saloon's AlwaysThrowOnErrors plugin, which automatically throws exceptions for 4xx and 5xx HTTP responses.

use Saloon\Exceptions\Request\FatalRequestException;
use Saloon\Exceptions\Request\RequestException;

try {
    $response = Podscan::podcasts()->get('podcast-id');
} catch (FatalRequestException $e) {
    // Handle 4xx errors (client errors)
    echo "Client error: " . $e->getMessage();
} catch (RequestException $e) {
    // Handle 5xx errors (server errors)
    echo "Server error: " . $e->getMessage();
}

Usage

Client Instantiation

Create an instance of the Podscan client to start interacting with the API. This instance will be your primary interface for sending requests to Podscan.AI.

use HelgeSverre\Podscan\Podscan;

// Instantiate the client
$podscan = new Podscan(apiKey: config('podscan.api_key'));

// Or use the Facade (Laravel)
Podscan::alerts();
Podscan::category();
Podscan::charts();
Podscan::episodes();
Podscan::podcasts();
Podscan::teams();
