Podcast analytics from OP3, the Open Podcast Prefix Project: downloads over time, listener geography, app share, and per-episode breakdowns. Read-only by design.
Look up a podcast show on OP3 and get its UUID, title, podcast GUID, and stats page URL. Pass a show UUID, a podcast:guid, or a base64-encoded feed URL. This is the entry point: most other tools need the show UUID this returns. Set include_episodes to also list episodes (id, title, pubdate).
op3_show_downloads
Get a show's recent download summary from OP3: monthly downloads, a week-by-week breakdown, and the average weekly downloads. Use this for 'how many downloads does my show get' questions. Needs a show UUID (from op3_get_show).
op3_episode_downloads
Get per-episode download counts for a show from OP3: for each recent episode, downloads in the first 1/3/7/30 days after publish and all-time. Good for comparing how episodes perform. Needs a show UUID. Use limit to cap how many episodes come back.
op3_top_apps
Get the top podcast apps and players downloading a show, from OP3, over the last three calendar months. Returns each app with its download count and percent share. Answers 'what apps do my listeners use'. Needs a show UUID.
op3_top_countries
Get the top listener countries (or regions) for a show. NOTE: OP3 has no native geography query, so this counts raw download records and aggregates by country client-side. It is a representative sample, not an exact lifetime total. OP3 returns raw records oldest-first, so to keep the sample recent this tool defaults to the last `window_days` days (90) when you do not pass an explicit start. Each result has a download count and percent share. Needs a show UUID. Keep max_records modest to stay fast and within rate limits.
op3_downloads_timeseries
Fetch raw download records for a show from OP3 over a date range. Returns individual download events (time, country, app, device). This is the low-level feed behind the other tools. Use it when you need to filter by episode or a specific date window. Keep limit low (records are verbose). For totals or geography summaries, prefer op3_show_downloads / op3_top_countries.
