Podkite is a web and API service for managing podcast rankings, reviews, and links.
What Podkite is
Podkite is a web and API service for managing podcast rankings, reviews, and links. Its dashboard gathers reviews from Apple, Podchaser, and Stitcher, with tools to tag, sort, and share them. Podkite says it collects reviews from applicable countries and works to keep coverage current as regional rules change across Apple Podcasts and other services. Its chart features help users follow rankings; Podkite says it does not decide which podcasts rank in a category, country, or listening app. Kitelinks provide click analytics that separate unique clicks from total clicks and filter detected bot requests. Links can include a timestamp to start playback at a specified point, though support varies by listening app. The web player can be embedded using a podkite-player HTML tag or an iframe. Podkite also documents a Data API with measures, dimensions, filters, time dimensions, sorting, and row limits. Download analytics are supported by adding Podkite's analytics URL and token to episode audio URLs; users can ask support about webhooks if their host supports them. A free plan is available. Free-plan support is by email, while paid subscribers can contact support through dashboard chat.
