Each month I pull stats and numbers for a variety of clients which take most of a work day. I like to automate as much as I can to speed up work and one of the items that took the most time was pulling podcast stats from Spreaker.
This quick web app pulled in all the podcasts information from Spreaker’s API and then parsed it based on which client that podcast show belonged to. Now I can just open it at the beginning of the month and it will give me the previous month’s podcast numbers by client.
Things I learned with this project are:
- Working with APIs
- cURL calls in PHP
