SpotifyPodcasts API endpoint
Use Crawlora's Spotify Podcasts Charts API to extract supported public SpotifyPodcasts data as structured JSON. This page includes request parameters, cURL examples, response schema, error behavior, credit cost, and a Playground link for testing before integration.
/spotify-podcasts/chartsReturns normalized Spotify podcast chart rankings from podcastcharts.byspotify.com. The chart and region parameters are validated against Spotify's supported podcast chart slugs and countries. Category charts are available only in au, br, de, gb, mx, se, and us. Developers commonly use this endpoint for data enrichment, monitoring, research dashboards, internal automation, and AI-agent workflows that need repeatable structured public web data. Authentication uses the documented Crawlora headers, and usage is metered with the credit cost shown on this page.
Request parameters are generated from the active endpoint catalog. Required values must be sent before Crawlora can call the upstream public web data source.

This endpoint is executed through Crawlora's managed scraping infrastructure.
- Invalid `chart` or `region` values return `400`. - `top-podcasts`, `top-episodes`, and `trending` support all listed regions. Category charts support `au`, `br`, `de`, `gb`, `mx`, `se`, and `us`. - `top-episodes` items include episode fields plus the parent show fields when Spotify returns them. - Upstream chart failures return `503`. - `items[].rank` is assigned from the upstream array order. Example response: ```json { "code": 200, "msg": "OK", "data": { "chart": "religion-spirituality", "chartName": "Religion & Spirituality", "chartType": "category", "region": "us", "regionName": "United States", "limit": 100, "items": [ { "rank": 1, "uri": "spotify:show:4Pppt42NPK2XzKwNIoW7BR", "rankMove": "UNCHANGED", "name": "The Bible in a Year (with Fr. Mike Schmitz)", "publisher": "Ascension", "imageUrl": "https://i.scdn.co/image/example", "description": "A podcast description.", "externalUrl": "https://open.spotify.com/show/4Pppt42NPK2XzKwNIoW7BR" } ], "meta": { "sourceUrl": "https://podcastcharts.byspotify.com/api/charts/religion-spirituality?limit=100®ion=us", "count": 1, "fetchedAt": "2026-05-13T15:22:41Z" } } } ```
Crawlora does not silently return bad data when the upstream page cannot be used.
| Status | Common failure case |
|---|---|
| 400 | Invalid input or missing required parameter |
| 429 | Plan or endpoint rate limit exceeded |
| 500 | Internal execution error |
| 502 | Upstream platform failed, returned unusable HTML, or served a challenge page that could not be resolved |
When possible, Crawlora returns structured error context so your integration can retry, back off, or inspect the request.
