## soundcloud/artist

`GET /v1/soundcloud/artist`

A SoundCloud profile: name, city and country, description, follower, following, track, playlist and like counts, verification.

*SoundCloud artist*

| Parameter | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `handle` | yes | Profile permalink (or pass url) — e.g. `nasa` |
| `url` | no | Profile URL, instead of handle — e.g. `https://soundcloud.com/nasa` |
| `dry_run` | no | Read a zero-credit estimate without fetching sources, running AI, or reserving credits. Cache status is a snapshot, not a guarantee at execution. — e.g. `1` |

**Cost:** 4 credits at list price per successful uncached response; variable-cost operations may quote or settle a different charge. Confirmed uncharged or refunded failures report zero. Pending reconciliation can report credits_used:null; retain request_id and the original idempotency key.
