Score-based metrics are omitted when the publisher has no political podcasts. ## OpenAPI ````yaml /openapi.json get /v1/podcasts/publishers/{id}/bias openapi: 3.1.0 info: description: Public API for Particle — news intelligence, financial data, and analysis. title: Particle API version: 0.1.0 servers: - url: https://api.particle.pro security: - ApiKeyHeader: [] - BearerAuth: [] paths: /v1/podcasts/publishers/{id}/bias: get: tags: - Podcast Bias - tier:premium summary: Get publisher political bias profile description: >- Returns political bias intelligence rolled up across every analyzed podcast attributed to the publisher: coverage stats, political share, average lean (on a -3..+3 ordinal scale), lean diversity, the bias-bucket and regional distributions, and the most recent evaluation timestamp.
