Use PodcasterWhosWho.com’s new RssAPI to make your podcast spread like Wildfire!

For podcasters wishing to promote each other, we have developed a very simple program called the RssAPI. This is an extremely simple API that comes with only one mandatory setting and one optional setting. It will help you trade podcasts with other podcasters without any manual updating. Using this program, as soon as you put up a new show, it will automatically show up on the other web site without any HTML coding. The HTML is a simple iframe tag. The only requirement for you, the podcaster, is that you need to have entered a valid RSS feed address into your PodcasterWhosWho.com account. You can obtain your RssAPI address from your podcasterwhoswho.com podcaster directory page

To use the RSS API, simply go to your podcaster directory page on PodcasterWhosWho.com and copy the HTML and send it to as many web site owners as you wish to paste it onto their web sites. The mandatory setting (the podcaster’s Who’s Who username) is already included in your link.

Here’s what it looks like:

The optional setting is called ItemCount and controls how many podcasts show up for a particular podcaster. You can set this to any number you like. For example, if you set it to 3, only 3 podcasts will show up under that podcaster on your web site.

Upcoming Community RSS Feeds for Podcasters

Podcasters will be able to include their enclosures on the Podcaster Who’s Who community RSS feed. What’s cool about this is that the RSS feed, usually of one podcast each, will include about 5 to 10 and will change every few weeks.

Podcasters who like to particpiate will be able to log in and add their enclosures on the fly. We are now developing this now and I am excited to release it in April.
