SoundCloud Artist Tracks API. Tracks, page by page.

Newest first, with exact plays and ISRC. We handle the proxies, blocks and platform changes.

SoundCloud Artist Tracks API at a glance

Returns a SoundCloud artist's public tracks, newest first, a page at a time, from its name, link, URN or ID. Each track has the same fields as the SoundCloud Track API: exact play, like, repost, comment and download counts, title, description, artwork, length, dates, genre, tags, license and the ISRC, label and UPC that labels fill in. Filter by date with since and until.

One schema on 21 platforms.

The response reference lists every field, its type and when it is null. See the full schema.

  • Null means unknown

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

  • What it accepts

    The SoundCloud account: its name (forss, also written @forss), its link (soundcloud.com/forss, with any tab such as /tracks, also on m.soundcloud.com), its numeric ID (183), URN (soundcloud:users:183) or address on the API (api.soundcloud.com/users/183).

  • Write one parser

    SoundCloud, TikTok, Instagram and 18 more platforms answer in these fields, so the code that reads one reads them all.

platformstring
Platform ID (tiktok, youtube, …).
idstring
Platform-native post ID (string; Instagram shortcode, Reddit with its t3_ prefix).
urlstring
Canonical post URL.
typestring
Normalized content shape. New values may be added; treat unknown values as other.
platform_typestring
The platform's own product label, lowercase (reel, short, story, live, tweet, …).
titlestring
Headline (YouTube title, Reddit title); null on caption-only platforms.
textstring
Caption, description or body as plain text.
languagestring
BCP-47 language of text, when the platform states it.

What teams build with the SoundCloud Artist Tracks API.

  • Export an artist's whole catalog

  • Monitor an account for new tracks

  • Compare plays across an artist's releases

  • Collect ISRCs across an artist roster

Good to know before you build.

  • Each track is the same post the SoundCloud Track API returns, with plays in metrics.view_count and reposts in metrics.repost_count. Reposts of other people's tracks aren't in the list.
  • A page can hold fewer tracks than limit, and rarely none, while has_more is true, because SoundCloud's list holds rows it hides from logged-out listeners. Only has_more false ends the list.
  • Newest first is by published_at, the date SoundCloud shows, which a scheduled or back-dated release sets apart from platform_specific.soundcloud.uploaded_at. Tracks with the same published_at come by ID, highest first.
  • platform_specific.soundcloud.policy, monetization_model and transcodings and media[].duration_ms are what SoundCloud serves a logged-out listener in the United States, wherever you call from, and can differ in other countries. Under policy BLOCK nothing plays and media[].duration_ms is null.
  • media[].url is null, because SoundCloud's playback links need a request of their own per track and expire within minutes. platform_specific.soundcloud.transcodings lists the encodings it serves.
  • A share link (on.soundcloud.com/…) is read as a track's link by the SoundCloud Track API only, and the embedded player's link is refused: send the account's link, name or ID.

Questions about the SoundCloud Artist Tracks API.

More in the API reference.

Can I get only the tracks since a date?
Yes. Send since and the walk stops once it passes that date, so older pages aren't fetched or charged.
How much does the SoundCloud Artist Tracks API cost?
A page of up to 50 tracks costs 1 credit. Every successful page is charged, empty pages included. SocialTap credits cost $0.75–$1.97 per 1,000, depending on the plan or pack.
How do I get the next page?
Repeat the same request with cursor set to page.next_cursor from the previous response, keeping the other parameters. When page.has_more is false there are no more pages. Cursors expire after 24 hours.

Try it on an account you know.
