Sorry, they were plugged on the get_iplayer forum, but this is the first announcement here.

You can generate any keyword-search based RSS feed dynamically at

https://bbc-rss.herokuapp.com/rss/custom/search%20term.rss

Just remember to URL encode the search term as above (i.e. replacing spaces with %20).

See the 'custom search' box and Generate button to do it manually.

I hope the source is useful. You may need a BBC searchSuggest API key to use the same search as this does (they are available if you know where to look), but there are alternative search endpoints (for now). Examples:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/programmes/a-z/by/doctor%20who/player.json
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/a-z/by/aberfan/player.json
