search_podcastsread-only

Search published podcast episodes by text query, or paste an episode URL (Spotify, YouTube, etc.). Returns matching episodes with their id, title, podcast, podcast_id, and date. Use the id with get_transcript, or the podcast_id with list_episodes to get the show's whole back-catalog. Does not consume credits.

get_transcriptread-only

Fetch a podcast episode's transcript as clean Markdown with real speaker names and timestamps. Pass an episode id from search_podcasts. Costs 1 credit on the first fetch of an episode; repeat fetches are free and errors are never charged.

list_episodesread-only

List a podcast's entire back-catalog (every episode, newest first). Pass a podcast_id from a search_podcasts result. Returns each episode's id, title, and date — fetch any with get_transcript. Use this to transcribe a whole show. Does not consume credits itself; transcribing the returned episodes costs 1 credit each (repeat fetches are free), so make sure the key has enough credits before loopin

get_balanceread-only

Check the current Spoken credit balance, account email, and recent usage for the configured API key. Does not consume credits.

list_followingread-only

The shows this key is kept current on. Every charged fetch makes its show a follow: the five most-fetched shows from the last 180 days are followed automatically (source 'fetch'), and up to 25 more can be declared with follow_podcast (source 'explicit'). Muted shows are listed separately. Use list_new_episodes to see what is new on them. Does not consume credits; the demo key has nothing to follow

follow_podcast

Declare a follow for a show, or clear a mute. Pass a podcast_id from search_podcasts. A declared follow stays until unfollow_podcast, regardless of fetch activity, and does not use one of the five automatic slots. For a show never fetched, what counts as new starts from its newest episode now. Does not consume credits.

unfollow_podcast

Mute a show: it leaves the followed list and later fetches do not re-add it. follow_podcast reverses it. Pass a podcast_id from list_following. Does not consume credits.

list_new_episodesread-only

What is new on the shows this key follows: for each show, the episodes released in the last 90 days that are newer than the newest one already fetched from it (up to 10 per show), each with a transcript_url. Episodes with no transcript are left out. Fetch any with get_transcript (1 credit each on first fetch); a fetch raises that show's floor, so the next call lists only what came after. Refreshed
