Authentication

warning

This service does not support API key or OAuth authentication and requires your password.

You need to provide your Pocket Casts email address and password to access your data. The npm package pocketcasts is used to fetch your library and listening history. The package, in turn, sends HTTP requests simulating a login to the web app and uses the generated token to access your data (see source).
