description: Acast is a podcast hosting, distribution, and advertising marketplace
  that helps creators publish shows, distribute to every major listening platform,
  and monetize through dynamic ad insertion and sponsorships. Acast exposes a
  documented public Publishing API for programmatically managing shows and
  episodes - listing shows and episodes, fetching details, and creating, updating,
  and deleting episodes - plus placing ad markers and receiving webhook
  notifications for events like new episode publications. The API is documented
  openly at developers.acast.com, but access is gated - an X-API-Key credential is
  issued by Acast's customer success team to accounts on the Ace plan or in the
  Acast Creator Network.
