Lookup Episodes within Podcasts Using iTunes API

Hi, I'm wondering if there's a way to use the iTunes store API to lookup a podcast by its ID and retrieve info on the latest 5 episodes.

My base URL is: https://itunes.apple.com/lookup?id=1493846689&limit=5&sort=recent

Based on the documentation provided here: https://affiliate.itunes.apple.com/resources/documentation/itunes-store-web-service-search-api/ my best guess is that I would need to specify an entity parameter in order to get information about each episode as opposed to the podcast as a whole. I've tried different entity values but to no avail.

If anyone has any suggestions or workarounds that would be much appreciated, thank you.

It seems that the episode api is not working properly with entity=podcastEpisode

https://itunes.apple.com/lookup?id=1251196416&country=US&media=podcast&entity=podcastEpisode&limit=100

  • Hi, Is there a way i can use it officially in my projects? The way i don't get any copyright? like we pay for third party api and gets the service.

What exactly seems wrong with it? mjbowe's answer seems to be working just fine. The first result in results seems to be information about the show, and then followed by the list of episodes for a total count of 101. Looks good to me?
