Podkite
What it is
Podkite is a web and API service for managing podcast chart rankings, reviews and links. Its dashboard gathers reviews from Apple, Podchaser and Stitcher, letting users tag, sort and share them. Podkite says it collects reviews from all applicable countries and works to follow regional changes to Apple Podcasts and other services. Chart tools show rankings, while Podkite says it does not decide which podcasts rank in a category, country or listening app. Kitelinks provide click analytics that separate unique from total clicks and filter detected bot requests. Links can include a timestamp to start playback at a chosen point, although listening-app support varies. The web player embeds with a podkite-player HTML tag or iframe. The Data API supports measures, dimensions, filters, time dimensions, sorting and row limits. Download analytics use an analytics URL and token, and webhooks may be available through support. A free plan is offered.
