Raise min_podcasts to favor guests booked across the medium over one show's regulars. Appearances follow the rules of GET /v1/podcasts/episodes?guest_occupation=: settled links only, and none whose analysis doubts the guest is the person linked. The {code} parameter accepts the code, slug, or title. For the shows that book them, use GET /v1/people/occupations/{code}/podcasts. ## OpenAPI ````yaml /openapi.json get /v1/people/occupations/{code}/guests openapi: 3.1.0 info: contact: email: api@particle.pro name: Particle url: https://particle.pro description: >- Podcast API for transcripts, mentions and sponsorship data. 140,000+ podcasts transcribed, diarized and speaker-identified within minutes of airing, about 28,000 episodes a day.

Read error_code. payment_required is the x402 path: either a keyless request being challenged — pay $0.04 in USDC per request (requirements in the PAYMENT-REQUIRED header) or send a pp_ API key — or a supplied payment that failed settlement (details in the PAYMENT-RESPONSE header; retry the same signature before signing a new one). See https://docs.particle.pro/x402. Any other code means the credential was accepted but does not cover this request (a plan or session gate such as premium_required or paid_plan_confirmation_required); its resolve says how to obtain access, and no payment header is sent. default: content: application/problem+json: schema: $ref: '#/components/schemas/PlatformError' description: Error x-codeSamples: - label: cURL lang: curl source: |- curl -H "X-API-Key: $PARTICLE_API_KEY" \ "https://api.particle.pro/v1/people/occupations/{code}/guests?limit=25&min_podcasts=1" components: schemas: PageExpertiseBoardGuest: additionalProperties: false properties: cursor: description: Pass to next request for more results type: string data: description: List of results items: $ref: '#/components/schemas/ExpertiseBoardGuest' type: - array - 'null' has_more: description: Whether more results exist type: boolean required: - data - has_more type: object PlatformError: additionalProperties: false properties: detail: description: >- A human-readable explanation specific to this occurrence of the problem. examples: - Property foo is required but is missing. type: string error_code: type: string errors: description: Optional list of individual error details items: $ref: '#/components/schemas/ErrorDetail' type: - array - 'null' instance: description: >- A URI reference that identifies the specific occurrence of the problem. examples: - https://example.com/error-log/abc123 format: uri type: string resolve: $ref: '#/components/schemas/ErrorResolve' status: description: HTTP status code examples: - 400 format: int64 type: integer title: description: >- A short, human-readable summary of the problem type.
