In podcasting today, audiences are everywhere. You can find them listening on Apple, Rumble and Spotify, watching on YouTube, and increasingly streaming video directly on Spotify.
Why Set Up Spotify Integration?
If your show is on Spotify, integrating your Megaphone data with Podscribe gives you a more complete picture of performance. By enabling this integration, publishers unlock cross-platform visibility within the Podscribe dashboard. This allows you to model campaign performance more accurately, include Spotify views in ranker totals, and close a major blind spot in podcast analytics. Learn more.
Spotify Integration Requirements
To enable Podscribe to ingest your Spotify (Megaphone) data, please follow these steps:
- Set Up a Dedicated S3 Bucket: You will need to create a dedicated Amazon S3 bucket specifically for Megaphone export data. This should not be a shared or repurposed bucket.
- Grant Access to Podscribe: After Spotify approves the export, please share S3 access credentials with us securely. We use 1Password vaults to ensure credentials are shared and stored safely.
- Submit an Export Request to Spotify: Once the S3 bucket is configured, submit a request to Spotify to enable the export. This request must include the appropriate access permissions for the bucket. Spotify will need 1 - 2 weeks to setup the export
Note: If you need access to your data before the export is fully set up, Spotify is preparing documentation to enable read-only access through Spotify for Creators. This provides a way to view your data while the export setup is in progress.
How to Set Up an S3 Bucket on AWS
- Sign in to the AWS Management Console and open the Amazon S3 console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/s3/.
- In the navigation bar on the top of the page, choose the name of the currently displayed AWS Region. Next, choose the Region in which you want to create a bucket.
- In the left navigation pane, choose General purpose buckets.
- Choose Create bucket. The Create bucket page opens.
- Configure Bucket Settings
- Block Public Access: Leave this enabled for security, unless public access is required.
- Leave other settings as-is unless instructed otherwise.
- Set Permissions
- AWS recommends keeping public access blocked.
- You can later configure access using IAM policies or share credentials for read access (e.g., for Podscribe).
- Create the Bucket
- Click “Create bucket” to finalize.
You've now created a bucket in Amazon S3! For more help on creating an S3 bucket, please check out the official AWS S3 documentation.
