Changelog

Recent updates to Taddy API.

Improvement to getEpisode

May 21, 2025
We added seriesUuidForLookup to the getEpisode query.
This is useful because an episode’s guid is not guaranteed to be unique (two different podcasts can use the same guid for episodes in their podcast). WithseriesUuidForLookup, if you know the podcast’s uuid and an episode’s guid, you can get exactly the episode you want.
 

Monthly Snapshots Added

May 1, 2025
If you pay for the one-time data export and have a Taddy Business Plan, you get access to a snapshot of all podcast data from our database on the 1st of every month. See here for doc on how to access these monthly snapshots.
 

2 New Queries Added

April 22, 2025
  • Added getPopularContent. It lists the most popular podcasts and allows you to filter by language and genres.
  • Added getLatestPodcastEpisodes. It allows you to get the most recent episodes for multiple podcasts (ie: Makes it easy for you to build a Podcast Feed)
  • Added the property popularityRank on PodcastSeries. ex) if a podcast is in the TOP_200, TOP_1000 podcast etc.
 

New Search API

March 4, 2025
We’ve made search faster & improved the quality of search results returned. See search for documentation.
Note: The old search query (searchForTerm) now uses the new search engine behind the scenes, so you don't have to update your queries to see improved results. However, the new search query (search) does have some new features and improved syntax. So, try it out!
 

Links from description

January 8, 2025
Added the GraphQL property descriptionLinks to PodcastSeries and PodcastEpisode. This gives you an easy way to get all the URLs inside a podcast’s or episode’s description.
 

Even more transcripts

December 7, 2024
We made some updates to our transcription feature:
  • We’ve updated the transcription model to use the latest Open AI Whisper model large-v3-turbo
  • We stopped using pyannote-audio for speaker diarization and speaker identification. We found it hard to offer high-quality speaker diarization and identification for cheap. It resulted in users not using this feature. We try very hard not to deprecate any feature we build but we decided to stop using pyannote-audio and double-down on what people are currently using: high-quality transcripts.
  • We’ve increased the number of transcripts on Taddy going from all episodes of the top 650 podcasts to all episodes from the top 2,000 podcasts in our directory. We plan to increase this even more in the next couple of months after we finish transcribing the back catalogue of these episodes.
 

Updates to Queues

October 22, 2024
To ensure we are checking RSS feeds as efficiently as possible, we did an audit of feeds in our directory.

WEBSUB - 115,459
HIGH - 6,638
MEDIUM - 61,852
