Our API now supports stations, personalized playlists (like your Weekly) and other so called system playlists! It has been a couple of years! But it's live! More to come! 🥳

It seems SoundCloud is on 🔥! Can't handle heat? 😋

In May we opened self-service app registration for Artist Pro subscribers. That fixed the browser flow. Two requests kept coming up anyway: can I do this from the terminal? And where is the OpenAPI file? 👇 developers.soundcloud.com/blog/api-cre...

Responding to customer reviews is important. Always appreciate folks changing their review after 😁

"We just can't get enough!" 🗣️🎸 We just rolled a brand new Related Artists endpoint on SoundCloud API. Time to remix your codebase with new discovery beats! github.com/soundcloud/a... Happy Coding!

Developers: If you're still using the old OAuth 2.0 endpoint for Soundcloud APIs, this is your last chance to migrate before your app will stop worlking! How to check: if you use api.soundcloud.com/oauth2 and not secure.soundcloud.com please migrate asap!
