Description from the maker (original English)
Free podcast clip maker: share the exact moment of an episode from YouTube, Spotify or Apple.
These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

search_showsSearches the public podcast directory by show name. Use it when you have a name rather than a link. Each hit carries the show's RSS feed as `sourceUrl` — hand that to `list_episodes`. It searches shows, never episodes: there is no index of episode titles to search, so finding one
top_showsThe most-subscribed shows in a country, ranked. Useful as a starting point when nothing specific was named, and as a way to check that a show is the well-known one rather than a similarly named feed. Country defaults to the one the request came from. Returns `{ country, shows }`,
list_episodesEpisodes of a show, newest first, from its RSS feed or its Apple Podcasts page. Feeds are read up to 60 items — that is the cap, not a page you can walk past. Each episode carries a `clipUrl`: pass it back as `url` to `create_clip` or `get_transcript` and the right episode is cli
resolve_urlTurns any pasted link into something clippable, and says which of three things it is: `episode` (one playable thing, ready for create_clip), `show` (a feed or channel — a preview of its episodes, with list_episodes for the rest), or `unresolved` (nothing playable was found, and w
get_transcriptThe episode's own transcript with absolute timestamps in seconds, so a line's `start` is a number you can pass straight to create_clip. This is how you find the moment worth clipping: read the transcript, choose the span, clip it. These are the publisher's transcripts (Podcasting
create_clipMarks a span of an episode and hands back the links that play it. Nothing is downloaded, transcoded or re-hosted: a clip is a pointer — the publisher's own URL plus an in and an out point — so the whole clip fits in its link and this call cannot fail for reasons of storage. The e
get_clipWhat a short id stands for: the episode, the two times, the links, and how many times the clip has been played. The id is the `/x/ ` part of a short link. Play counts are approximate by design — a per-clip counter with no atomic increment behind it, not an audit trail. Returns `{

Compared with every active server in this category in the registry. Stars count only when the publisher owns the repo.
It passed 2 of 3 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.
The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.
It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.
