HTTP API Reference

The SoundCloud API exposes SoundCloud resources like sounds, sets and users. These resources can be accessed and manipulated using the HTTP methods GET, POST, PUT and DELETE.

All SoundCloud resources are accessed and manipulated in a similar way. A list of the latest resource is usually available through /[resource name], a single specific resource through /[resource name][id] and related subresources like a tracks comments through /[resource name]/[id]/[subresource name].

Unless otherwise specified, the base URL for API endpoints is:

https://api.soundcloud.com

To access public resources you just have to pass a client_id parameter:

$ curl https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks?client_id=YOUR_CLIENT_ID

To act on behalf of a SoundCloud user, they must first authenticate your app.

/connect

Full URI: https://soundcloud.com/connect

The OAuth2 authorization endpoint. Your app redirects a user to this endpoint, allowing them to delegate access to their account.

client_id string The client id belonging to your application
redirect_uri string The redirect uri you have configured for your application
response_type enumeration (code, token)
scope string '*'
display string Can specify a value of 'popup' for mobile optimized screen
state string Any value included here will be appended to the redirect URI

/oauth2/token

The OAuth2 token endpoint. This endpoint accepts POST requests and is used to provision access tokens once a user has authorized your application.

Note All parameters must be sent in the request body, not as part of the query string.

Parameters
