List podcast rankings

Returns chart entries from the live ranking snapshot. The most common call needs no parameters — it returns the first page (default 25, max 100 per request) of the US Apple Top Podcasts overall chart, ordered by rank ascending. Charts run to rank 200; paginate with cursor to fetch the rest. Narrow the result with country, category_slug, source, or podcast_id. When podcast_id is set, the response is the podcast’s current chart appearances across the matching slots.
