# SoundCloud API guide



## Choose a SoundCloud operation



Start with the object your task needs. The groups below use the current catalogue; open an endpoint to check accepted identifiers, filters, price and availability before retrieving.



### Other operations



- [SoundCloud artist](https://www.monocrawl.com/docs/endpoints/soundcloud/artist) — A SoundCloud profile: name, city and country, description, follower, following, track, playlist and like counts, verification.

- [SoundCloud artist tracks](https://www.monocrawl.com/docs/endpoints/soundcloud/artist-tracks) — A profile's tracks, one page at a time, with plays, likes, comments, reposts, genre, duration and licence.

- [SoundCloud track](https://www.monocrawl.com/docs/endpoints/soundcloud/track) — One track: title, artwork, genre, duration, dates, play and engagement counts, licence, label, artist and ISRC.



## Check fields and collection limits



Use the endpoint’s declared parameters and returned continuation. Filters from another platform do not automatically apply here. Preserve source identifiers, URLs and warnings; a successful page does not establish complete history. Published response schemas identify whether they come from a reviewed shaper or observed response shapes.



Agents can use `get_endpoint` for the current contract and `get_docs` with topic `platforms/soundcloud` to read this page. The [coverage guide](https://www.monocrawl.com/docs/data-availability) explains nulls and partial results, and the [production guide](https://www.monocrawl.com/docs/production-checklist) covers budgets and recovery.



## Endpoint reference

## 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. Accepted values: 1, 0, true, false. Case, spaces, hyphens and underscores are interchangeable. — e.g. `1` |

### Useful optional inputs

- `dry_run`: Read a free estimate before fetching sources or scheduling paid work. Zero credits; cache status and availability are snapshots rather than guarantees.

**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.

```bash
curl "https://www.monocrawl.com/v1/soundcloud/artist?handle=nasa" \
  -H "x-api-key: mn_your_key_here"
```

### Response data

Illustrative abbreviated data; documented core fields are optional and may be null. Additional source fields are allowed.

```json
{
  "avatar_url": "https://example.com/example",

## soundcloud/artist-tracks

`GET /v1/soundcloud/artist-tracks`

A profile's tracks, one page at a time, with plays, likes, comments, reposts, genre, duration and licence.

*SoundCloud artist tracks*

| 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` |
| `cursor` | no | Opaque cursor from the previous page |
| `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. Accepted values: 1, 0, true, false. Case, spaces, hyphens and underscores are interchangeable. — e.g. `1` |

### Useful optional inputs

- `cursor`: Continue the same source traversal with the complete returned cursor. Saved-result retrieval and a new source page can have different prices; quote the next call.
- `dry_run`: Read a free estimate before fetching sources or scheduling paid work. Zero credits; cache status and availability are snapshots rather than guarantees.

**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.

```bash
curl "https://www.monocrawl.com/v1/soundcloud/artist-tracks?handle=nasa" \
