The [response reference](https://socialtap.dev/docs/reference/soundcloud/tracks/index.md#response) lists every field, its type and when it is `null`. [See the full schema](https://socialtap.dev/resources/post/index.md). - ### 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. - **`platform`string**: Platform ID (tiktok, youtube, …). - **`id`string**: Platform-native post ID (string; Instagram shortcode, Reddit with its t3_ prefix). - **`url`string**: Canonical post URL. - **`type`string**: Normalized content shape. New values may be added; treat unknown values as other. - **`platform_type`string**: The platform's own product label, lowercase (reel, short, story, live, tweet, …). - **`title`string**: Headline (YouTube title, Reddit title); null on caption-only platforms. - **`text`string**: Caption, description or body as plain text. - **`language`string**: BCP-47 language of text, when the platform states it.

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. ## 1 credit per page.

More in the [API reference](https://socialtap.dev/docs/reference/soundcloud/tracks/index.md). **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.
