API Access

[more-by-more]

Hey there Soundcloud! We are hoping to get API access for an upcoming project (online radio station).

We understand applications are closed at the moment but were hoping to get an ETA on when this will become available again?

Let us know :)

Thank you for your interest in using our APIs - right now we are not planning to reopen the self-serve app credential creation due to a high risk of fraudulent activities, but you can reach out to us to get personal access to it. We will ask you for some information about you and your app to make sure it aligns with our Terms of Use.

Hi @MariaVWSoundCloud. Thanks for responding. I had previously reached out, but they had said they stopped providing API access. Have things changed?

Thanks for responding there @MariaVWSoundCloud! We have sent off a submission now via a support ticket. Let us know if you can review that for us!

[MariaVWSoundCloud]

I am on it! :) Just (for information for everyone): Tell us your app name, description and how you are going to use our API already in the ticket, so we can shorten the time!
We have to ask for all these details to make sure, you will comply with our terms of use, thanks for understanding!
Cheers

@more-by-more How do you search for similar tracks to your radio without an API endpoint for SoundCloud Stations?

@MariaVWSoundCloud Can you please look at #77, this is a LONGSTANDING issue, would LOVE to get the SoundCloud extension usable for all users of Mopidy. It keeps capping out.

I am a music producer, often using my paid SoundCloud plan to send private tracks to collaborators and record labels. I would like to use the API to make my upload process more convenient, can I register for an app so that I can use CURL for track uploading? That is, I'm just going to use it for my personal convenience.

@cloudgreen absolutely - please just create a customer support ticket and we will help you with that. (Link above)

Thanks for your quick reply, sounds great!

When I go to the link above, all I get is an orange topic selection box, and then a chatbot window. But I can't seem to figure out which topic to select and/or what to type to the chatbot to actually create a support ticket... I'm very confused. 😊 🤔

EDIT: I figured it out - one has to say "no" to the chatbot several times. Then it lets you move on and file a ticket to support. :)
