How To Download My Own Tracks From Soundcloud

With SoundCloud API you can build applications that takemusic to the next level. With this guide we explain andprovide code examples for a lot of common integration use cases likeplaying and uploading tracks, liking a playlist or discovering new music.If you're looking for more in depth information,feel free to jump to our API Explorer.

You can simplify your registration and sign in process by using aConnect with SoundCloud button. This lets your user know that theycan register for your app with one click using their SoundCloudaccount. It also grants your app access to their account and givesyou the ability to upload tracks, create playlists and otherwise act ontheir behalf.

If the user approves your authorization request, they will be sentto the redirect_uri you specified when registering your app. Extractthe code parameter from the query string and use it to obtain an access token.

The returned object has an access_token property and a refresh_tokenproperty as well as expires_in and scope.You should now store the object in a database or a data storage of your choice. Associate itwith the user it belongs to and use the access_token from now on instead ofsending the user through the authorization flow on each API interaction.Use the refresh_token to automatically renew the expired token.

With applications, such as CLIs, or pure back-end services you would authenticate the application itselfrather than a user. For instance, you might want to build an artist's website where you only need an accessto their tracks, playlists, or user information. There is no need to go through the connect flow, asSoundCloud API provides the Client Credentials Flow for these purposes. You pass along theclient_id and client_secret you have acquired at registrationto authenticate and get a token.

Same way as with the Authorization Code flow you receive an object that has an access_token,refresh_token properties as well as expires_in and scope.Store the object in a database or a data storage of your choice. Associate it with the user it belongs toand use the access_token for requesting data from our API. Use the refresh_token to automatically renew the expiredtoken.

You authenticate mobile and desktop applications the same way youdo for web applications. To make the flow smoother, youcan use a redirect_uri with a custom protocol scheme and set yourapp as a handler for that protocol scheme. For example, yourredirect_uri could be something like my-app://soundcloud/callback.

All Soundcloud resources (tracks, playlists, users) can only be accessed byan authenticated applications. That said, every request to our API requires anAuthorization header in the following format:

Tracks are core to SoundCloud.Our API gives you the ability to upload, manage andshare tracks. Your app can take an audio file and uploadit to a user's SoundCloud account. You can also manage metadata(including tags) or add the track to playlists.We support the following formats: AIFF, WAVE, FLAC, OGG, MP2, MP3, AAC, AMR and WMA.

Playlists allow you to organize tracks into groups that can be shared together. For example, tracksin an album or in a specific collection can be grouped together using a playlist and then shared to the world.You can add any tracks to a playlist and a track can belong to multiple playlists.Playlists can be either private or public.

Yep, you can also play tracks and playlists from your application. Depending onyour needs, you can embed a player widget, or feed a stream url into yourown audio player. You can also use our Widget API to control theplayer and handle events.

Note if you are going to stream from our API you need to attribute properly.Make sure you've read our Terms andAttribution Guidelines to make sureyou treat our creators content correctly. When using a custom player you must:

If you don't want to use the SoundCloud widget, our API gives youthe ability to access a track's stream URL and use your own playerto play tracks from SoundCloud. In order to get a URL for streaming,you can request the appropriate resource and make note ofthe stream_url property. Send a GET request to that URL andyou will get a set of links with available transcodings which you can choose from.

Not every track is allowed for streaming off platform. A user might restrict a playback, ora track might be behind a paywall, geo-blocked and so on. In that case a track in response wont have astream_url available and a field access will have blocked. If youtry to call /tracks/:id/streams endpoint you will get an error.

Your application can take advantage of SoundCloud's social featuresby allowing users to follow other users and like tracks or playlists. Followingand liking allows SoundCloud users to customize their experience. Trackscreated and reposted by people your user follows will be available in theiractivity feed.

Resources such as tracks, users, playlists can be searchedusing our API. Most endpoints will accept a q param which you canuse to specify a keyword to search for in fields like title,username, description, etc. depending on the resource type.

Most results from our API are returned as a collection. The numberof items in the collection returned is limited to 50 bydefault with a maximum value of 200. Most endpoints support alinked_partitioning parameter that allows you to pagethrough collections. When this parameter is passed, the response willcontain a next_href property if there are additional results.To fetch the next page of results, simply follow that URI. If the responsedoes not contain a next_href property, you have reached theend of the results.

Our API supports CORS for making cross domain requests. This meansyou can access SoundCloud API endpoints from JavaScript running inthe browser. By requesting results formatted as JSON, you will beable to parse and use the response immediately.

The response from SoundCloud will have an HTTP status code thatwill help you determine the cause of the error. Our API tries to usethe appropriate HTTP status code to indicate the type of problemencountered.

Okay, so I just uploaded my album to SoundCloud, and then I paid for a year of SoundCloud Plus or whatever it's called, so I could use their distribution services. But I seem to be stuck on the first step. When I click on "Select tracks on SoundCloud," I don't see a list of my tracks, and there a message saying that if I don't see my tracks, I should click on "Sync with SoundCloud," which I have done at least a dozen times. When I click on it, it says "Sync request submitted. This can take up to 60 seconds. Refresh periodically," but that was hours ago and I've refreshed many, many times, to no avail. Am I doing something wrong? I guess I could just go through the process of re-uploading all my songs instead of selecting them on SoundCloud, but then it's like -- what am I paying for?? It's concerning that this paid service doesn't seem to be working the way it's supposed to, and their customer support has been no help. I just got a message saying "we are experiencing an unusually high volume of tickets" so I'm guessing maybe I'm not the only one having this problem. I'm hoping someone has found a fix or at least a workaround.

Each week, SoundCloud Weekly playlists will feature music from millions of unique creators--multiple times more than are featured in playlists on other streaming services--giving creators a powerful new avenue to grow their play counts, followers and careers on SoundCloud first.

I have reinstalled both the soundcloud app within sonos and the sonos app itself. That did not work. The song does play and shows up in the soundcloud app - its just within the sonos app that the song does not appear and cannot be played even though other songs in the playlist can be played which is why I believe it to be an ordeal with sonos rather than soundcloud.

You can get around this limitation by doing this: have the tracks in your Soundcloud playlist analyzed by the console, simply by uploading them to one of the Prime 2 players. When you have analyzed all your tracks, then you can switch between Soundcloud to your local collection on your stick USB (or whatever you use).

Now you can find your Soundcloud tracks in the local collection, and from there you can send them to a local playlist. At that point you will be able to manage that playlist like all the others and therefore also to sort them by BPM or key.

Thanks for the message. I spent quite a while yesterday analysing a lot of my tracks and setting hot cues on them, but when I turned on the controller today and it had forgotten all of the data. Should I have had my drive plugged in when doing this so it saved the data onto that? I thought the controller had some internal storage to remember the analysis and hot cue points.

Some tracks will have Non-Commercial conditions to the license, which means you can use the track so long as you are not going to make money from the end product. This should be considered carefully, as the restrictions include YouTube Monetization. If you want to monetize your content on YouTube, this license type may prevent you from doing so, no matter how little of the track is used.
