About this Applet

Create a Google Docs document containing an OP3 show's record for archiving or sharing. When an iOS Shortcut automation starts, the Applet asks OP3 to look up the show you provide (feed URL, podcast GUID, or OP3 show ID) and creates a Google Docs document with its details. Useful for archiving lookups from Shortcuts, sharing show records, or keeping episode references in Google Docs.

About OP3

OP3 is a free, open-source podcast analytics service built around a download-measuring prefix. Podcasters put https://op3.dev/e/ in front of the episode file URLs in their feed, and OP3 counts the downloads — no signup or login involved, and existing prefixes can stay in place. Every measured show gets a free public stats page with industry-standard download metrics, breakdowns by app and geography, and spreadsheet exports covering full history. The numbers are published openly and listener privacy comes first: raw IP addresses are never stored, only a rotating secure hash.
