2Install the Link
Prefix links are meant to be installed in your Podcast RSS feeds (your RSS feed is automatically generated by your podcast hosting provider).
The link should be placed in front of each of your episode links.
As an example, an item record in your podcast RSS feed might look like this:
<enclosure url="https://YOUR_AUDIO_FILE.mp3" type="audio/mpeg" />
With one of our prefix links installed it would become:
<enclosure url="https://m.pfxes.com/YOUR_LINK_ID/https://YOUR_AUDIO_FILE.mp3" type="audio/mpeg" />
This will route all requests for each of your episodes through our system.
Each request that comes through our system will then make the proper partner calls asynchronously in the background based on the rules you provide (while also routing your listener to the proper audio file).
