Every field doubles as a GET /v1/podcasts filter. Omitted for podcasts with no tracked episodes yet; within the object, the speaker-derived fields (guest_frequency, signals, has_ads) are additionally omitted until enough episodes have been analyzed to judge.

match_quality
enum<string>

How confidently this result matches your q search, strongest first. exact: this is the show with that name. partial: the name matches your search strongly (your search may have included extra words). fuzzy: the name is similar but not the same — it may be the show you meant with a typo, or a different show with a near-identical name; verify before relying on it. description: your search text appears in the show's description rather than its name. speculative: a loose suggestion, listed last. When resolving a show programmatically, act on exact or partial results and treat anything weaker as candidates to confirm. Present only when q was provided.

Available options:
exact,
partial,
fuzzy,
description,
speculative
