SoundCloud API for PHP

A PHP Wrapper for the SoundCloud REST API endpoints.

Installation

First, you need to add the component to your composer.json

composer require noweh/php-soundcloud

Update your packages with composer update or install with composer install.

Usage

For the calls to be valid, you must follow a few steps :

First, you have to create a new instance of the wrapper with the following parameters:

use Noweh\SoundcloudApi\Soundcloud;

$client = new SoundCloud(
    {CLIENT_ID},
    {CLIENT_SECRET},
    {CALLBACK_URL}
);

⚠️ Since July 2021, most calls to SoundCloud REST API requires an access_token.

⚠️ {CALLBACK_URL} must be the same as the one indicated in your SoundCloud account.

Second, you have to redirect the user to the SoundCloud login page:

...
header("Location: " . $client->getAuthorizeUrl('a_custom_param_to_retrieve_in_callback'));
exit();

On your callback URL, you can call GET/POST/PUT/DELETE methods. The access_token will be automatically generated with the code parameter present in this URL.

If you want to use API calls in another page, you have to set manually this data:

use Noweh\SoundcloudApi\Soundcloud;

$client = new SoundCloud(
    {CLIENT_ID},
    {CLIENT_SECRET},
    {CALLBACK_URL}
);

$client->setCode('3-134981-158678512-IwAXqypKWlDJCF');

// API Call
...

Get Player Embed

This call does not require an access_token.

To retrieve the widget embed code for any SoundCloud URL pointing to a user, set, or a playlist, do the following:

... // Create a new instance of client

// Required parameter
$url = 'https://soundcloud.com/......';

// Optional parameters
$maxheight = 180;
$sharing = true;
$liking = true;
$download = false;
$show_comments = true;
$show_playcount = false;
$show_user = false;

try {
    $response = $client->getPlayerEmbed($url, $maxheight, $sharing, $liking, $download, $show_comments, $show_playcount, $show_user)
} catch (Exception $e) {
    exit($e->getMessage());
}

GET

... // Create a new instance of client

try {
    $response = $client->get('users/{CLIENT_ID}/tracks');
} catch (Exit $e) {
    exit($e->getMessage());
}

POST

... // Create a new instance of client

try {
    $response = $client->post(
        'tracks/1/comments',
        [
            'body' => 'a new comment'
        ]
    );
} catch (Exception $e) {
    exit($e->getMessage());
}

PUT

... // Create a new instance of client

try {
    $response = $client->put(
        'tracks/1',
        [
            'title' => 'my new title'
        ]
    );
} catch (Exception $e) {
    exit($e->getMessage());
}

DELETE

... // Create a new instance of client

try {
    $response = $client->delete('tracks/1');
} catch (Exception $e) {
    exit($e->getMessage());
}
