Entries submitted by iTunesID not with iTunesID

[jamescridland]

"PODNEWS Mx" seems brand new in Apple iTunes, with an ID 1536114728.

My script successfully added it at :44 using https://api.podcastindex.org/api/1.0/add/byitunesid - here's my logfile entry

2020-10-28 03:44:15: PODCASTINDEX INSERT FROM SEARCH PODNEWS Mx {"status":"true","feedId":1319023,"existed":"false","description":"Feed added successfully. Please allow 15-20 minutes for it to be searchable in the index."}

It's now in PodcastIndex under 1319023 - but the response appears not to include the iTunesID. Here's the chunk I'm pulling out of the API

 "title":"PODNEWS Mx",

         "type":0,

Given that I added this script using https://api.podcastindex.org/api/1.0/add/byitunesid it should include the iTunesID, yes?

Further attempts to submit it via https://api.podcastindex.org/api/1.0/add/byitunesid - since my script doesn't know it exists in the database - are now returning blank responses by the looks of things.

I should also drearily say that I'll be submitting a DMCA takedown request for "PODNEWS Mx" using Anchor's DMCA form, since it is not an authorised use of the Podnews® trademark.

I think I have this fixed now. Resolving and linking the itunes id's to existing feeds, or creating if they don't exist is a complex dance on the back-end. More complex than it should have been. I've simplified it a lot. There is still a queue so it's not immediate. But it should be within the typical 20-30 minute window that a regular feed add is, after it goes through the checks.
