Podfeed - simple CLI tool to get the real feed URL from an Apple Podcasts link

Showcase

Here’s my second ever Zig project! It’s Podfeed, a tiny little CLI that takes an Apple Podcasts link, such as https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/darknet-diaries/id1296350485, and returns the direct feed URL from it so you can drop it into any podcatcher for listening outside of Apple’s walled garden. I’m not sure if this will be useful to anyone but me, but I need to do this sometimes and it was a really really fun way to learn about std.http and std.json :slight_smile:

Any feedback is most certainly welcome!

Just pushed a commit that makes it now support more than one URL at once:

quin@minix:~/podfeed$ ./zig-out/bin/podfeed https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/crime-junkie/id1322200189 https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/darknet-diaries/id1296350485
