Discovering podcasts in a topic area by searching show titles and descriptions.

> [!NOTE]
>
> Tool ID: `podscan_podcasts_search`

## Run this action

Use the TypeScript SDK for one call. Use `ctx.tools.execute(...)` inside a Play for durable calls, scheduled calls, or CSV processing.

```ts theme={"languages":{"custom":["/languages/deepline-prompt.json"]}}
import { Deepline } from 'deepline';

const deepline = await Deepline.connect();
const result = await deepline.tools.execute(
  'podscan_podcasts_search',
  {
    "query": "software companies hiring engineers"
  },
);

console.log(result.toolResponse.raw);
```

### CLI

```bash theme={"languages":{"custom":["/languages/deepline-prompt.json"]}}
deepline tools execute podscan_podcasts_search --input '{
  "query": "software companies hiring engineers"
}' --json
```

## Example response

The SDK returns this shape at `result.toolResponse.raw`. The example values illustrate the response.

```json theme={"languages":{"custom":["/languages/deepline-prompt.json"]}}
{
  "data": {
    "podcasts": [
      {
        "podcast_id": "podcast_123",
        "podcast_name": "Example",
        "podcast_url": "https://example.com"
      }
    ],
    "pagination": {
      "total": 123,
      "per_page": 123,
      "current_page": 123
    }
  }
}
```

Use `deepline describe podscan_podcasts_search --json` for the latest machine-readable contract.
