Use the Podcast monitoring endpoints to search for podcasts by keyword or track new episodes from specific shows. Stay informed about brand mentions, industry discussions, and competitor activity across the podcast ecosystem.
Endpoints
Podcast monitoring provides two endpoints:
| Endpoint | Description |
|---|
POST /v1/searches/podcast/keywords | Search across all podcasts by keywords |
POST /v1/searches/podcast/episodes | Monitor episodes from a specific podcast |
How it works
- Create a saved search using one of the Podcast endpoints
- Trigify checks for new podcast content on your configured frequency (
DAILY, WEEKLY, MONTHLY, or QUARTERLY; HOURLY is available on Enterprise and Custom plans only)
- New episodes matching your criteria appear in your search results
- Optionally trigger workflows on new results for alerts, enrichment, or integrations
Keyword search
Use POST /v1/searches/podcast/keywords to find podcast episodes matching your keywords across all podcasts.
Supported filters

name | string | Yes | A descriptive name for your saved search |
keywords | string[] | Yes | Keywords to search for (OR logic between keywords) |
keywords_and | string[] | No | All of these keywords must appear (AND logic) |
keywords_not | string[] | No | Exclude episodes containing these keywords |

Finding podcast IDs
Before you can monitor a specific podcast, you need its podcast_id. Use the podcast search endpoint to look it up:
curl -X POST https://api.trigify.io/v1/searches/podcasts/search \
-H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"query": "All-In Podcast"
}'
const response = await fetch("https://api.trigify.io/v1/searches/podcasts/search", {
method: "POST",
headers: {
"x-api-key": "YOUR_API_KEY",
"Content-Type": "application/json",
},
body: JSON.stringify({
query: "All-In Podcast",
}),
});
const results = await response.json();
// Use the podcast_id from the results to create an episode monitor
import requests
response = requests.post(
"https://api.trigify.io/v1/searches/podcasts/search",
headers={
"x-api-key": "YOUR_API_KEY",
"Content-Type": "application/json",
},
json={
"query": "All-In Podcast",
},
)
results = response.json()
# Use the podcast_id from the results to create an episode monitor
