# REST API?

 * Hi! I’ve been using the plugin for a while, but would find a Rest API very helpful.
   I’ve tried a number of things to create a podcast episode via JSON, and it looks
   like there’s a Rest API but apparently only connects to CastOS?
 * I’ve been able to find the URL to the JSON episodes, which had a lot of useful
   information about what goes into an episode, but couldn’t create a podcast with
   that URL.
 * Is there a way to create podcast episodes programmatically?
 * I’d been using [this method](https://discussion.dreamhost.com/t/how-to-post-content-to-wordpress-using-python-and-rest-api/65166)
   to create posts, but haven’t been able to figure out how to extend that to podcast
   episodes.
 * Is there a way? All I found in the forums was [a question from over 2 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/create-a-podcast-episod-via-rest-api/)
   saying podcasts can’t be uploaded via the API because it doesn’t support uploading.
 * I’m not looking to **upload** a podcast; I’m looking to **create** a podcast 
   via the REST API and **link** it to a file I will have already uploaded.
 * Thanks!

 * Hi there [@kindav](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kindav/),
 * The [REST API](https://app.castos.com/docs/api/index.html) is only for Castos
   users at this time.
 * Since you’ve had success using the method you linked to with posts, have you 
   tried using `Posts` as your podcast episodes rather than the custom post type`
   episodes`?
 * From the [Help Center article](https://support.castos.com/hc/en-us/articles/360018866800-General-settings-Seriously-Simple-Podcasting-plugin):
 * > This will add the episode information fields to the WordPress post editor. 
   When this option selected, episodes will be published from Posts > Add New and
   podcast episodes are intermingled with blog posts.
 * Let us know if that works for you and have a good day.
