Steps
Sign in to Apple Podcasts Connect with an active Apple Podcasters Program membership
Open the Account tab and locate the Delegated Delivery API Keys section
Generate a new API Key scoped to your show for delegated delivery
Share the API Key securely with your participating hosting provider such as Libsyn, Blubrry, Omny Studio, or RSS.com
Confirm the hosting provider dashboard shows delegated delivery enabled for free and subscriber episodes
Verify new episodes publish to Apple Podcasts without a manual RSS re-fetch
Known gotchas
Only hosting providers on Apple's current supported partner list can use delegated delivery, so check the Hosting Providers page first
Delegated Delivery is publishing only, hosting providers granted access cannot see Apple Podcasts Connect analytics
This is a per-show API key generation flow tied to Apple Podcasts Connect, not a general public REST API with open documentation
