Scope: podcasts:read.

Make a request

Set these environment variables before running a sample. Each language reads the same values; no identifier needs replacing inside the code.

Variable	Value to supply
`SHOWFM_API_KEY`	Your API key. Keep it on your server.
`PODCAST_ID`	A podcast UUID returned by List your podcasts.

Samples run on your server: curl 7.76+, Node.js 22+ (TypeScript via your TypeScript runner), Python 3, or PHP 8 with the cURL extension. Never put your API key in browser code.
