Nice stuff. How do you get the data from the podcasting platforms like spotify/apple/youtube?

Hey (one of the authors here)!

We use the podcasters access which you get as the podcast host after claiming your podcast on apple or spotify. Using your host credentials, raw data is fetched from google/apple and stored in a local MySQL database. Subsequently, you can run custom queries on it and even derive additonal information which is not presented on apple's and spotify's podcaters dashboards (e.g. correlating data, using historical data, etc.).
