A link as people share it (mobile, short or with tracking), a handle, an ID, or words to search. Each endpoint accepts every common form of its input.

Yes. Every request reads the platform when you send it, unless you allow a cached answer.

What does null mean in a response?

Unknown. A field the platform doesn't show is null, never zero or an empty string, so a real zero always means zero.

Are the fields the same on every platform?

Yes. 27 kinds of data have one schema each. Fields only one platform has sit under platform_specific.

What happens when a platform changes its pages?

We update our parsers. Your fields stay the same, and every endpoint's live status is public.

Do you read private or logged-in content?

No. Only public data that anyone can see without an account: no logins, no private profiles, no paywalled content.

Can my AI agent use it?

Yes. Add the MCP server and sign in with your browser, and your agent can call every endpoint. Or paste our prompt into your coding agent. The docs are also published as Markdown and llms.txt.

Frequently asked questions

What you send, what comes back and how your agent uses it.

Contact us

Does the SoundCloud Track API return the ISRC?

Yes, when the uploader filled it in, as labels and distributors do. Otherwise isrc is null, and so are the album, UPC, label and publisher.

Does the SoundCloud Artist API return an artist's email?

Sometimes. When an account lists an email address among its links, it is in platform_specific.soundcloud.social_links.
