Recent feeds not returning all expected feeds about docs-api HOT 5 CLOSED

max of 500 is low. There can easily be more than 100 feeds per minute that update. I think you'd have better luck with the tracking url: https://tracking.podcastindex.org/current. That tracks the "/recent/data" endpoint and should give you complete information without having to fiddle.

@daveajones Thanks! Is there any doc on that endpoint by chance? Like, how often it updates?

@daveajones Are recent feeds those that have updated episodes or are they new feeds added to the index?

The tracking endpoint you provided shows like 100 or less feeds in the count at any given time, while the episode count is almost always the max (1000). Thus my question 😄

It updates every 3 minutes. It's s combination of recent feeds and recent items in a single return. The idea is that, on some interval, you get the current JSON and then walk backwards through each successive previousTrackingUrl until you hit an ID you already have. Then you know you've caught up.

Perfect. I'm using it instead of the API call and all seems to be working great. Much appreciated!
