Claim Your Apple Podcasts Listing

Claiming your Apple Podcasts listing just got a whole lot easier! Now, you can transfer your Apple Podcasts listing to your Apple account using Apple's Claim Token. This allows you to access your Apple Podcasts data, ratings, and reviews directly from your Apple Podcast Connect account. 

Claim and Transfer Your Apple Podcasts Listing

  1. Start by creating an Apple Podcasts Connect account (if you haven't already).
  2. Within your Apple Podcasts Connect account, use Apple's search tool to find your Apple Podcast listing. 
  3. If the listing can be claimed, Apple will give you a Claim Token to add to your RSS Feed.
  4. Head to the Directories page in your Buzzsprout Account and select the Apple Podcasts section.
  5. In the grey box on the right side of the page, click Add a Token.
  6. Paste the Claim Token from Apple and click Add to Feed and you're all set!

We will drop the Claim Token into your RSS Feed for 48 hours, giving Apple time to see the info on their end and transfer the listing to your Apple Podcasts Connect account. After 48 hours, we will remove the claim token to avoid any confusion later on.

Note: Your Apple Podcasts listing URL, Ratings & Reviews, and followers will not be affected during this process. Apple has also provided more information on claiming your listing in Apple Podcasts.
