TL;DR

Artist track list — opaque cursor, native-window when the api-v2 page ends (2 credits; empty is 0). The SoundCloud Artist Tracks API (SoundCloud) is a single authenticated GET request to /v1/soundcloud/artist-tracks that responds with clean JSON and costs 2 credits. Pass cache=true for a free 24h cache hit; default is always fresh. Start with 100 free credits — no credit card.

What is the SoundCloud Artist Tracks API?

Pass a SoundCloud artist URL or username and get that artist's tracks as clean JSON. Each track row matches /soundcloud/track (title, plays/likes/reposts/comments/downloads, license, genre/tags[], artwork, streamable/downloadable, isrc/releaseDate when exposed) — without repeating artist{} on every row. The envelope names the yield: requested, listingHits (rows SoundCloud sent this page), hydrateFailures (received rows that did not become a track), totalReturned, nextCursor, hasMore, and truncatedReason=platform-page | catalog-end | native-window | apify-window. SoundCloud linked_partitioning can return listingHits < requested with hasMore still true — that is a platform page, not a drop. nextCursor is emitted only when the next native page has rows — a token is never issued and then refused. The public api-v2 window usually ends before the artist's full catalogue: that stop is native-window (hasMore false), not a 400. catalog-end is only when SoundCloud itself omits next_href on a native page. apify-window is first-page Apify fallthrough (no cursor). Empty pages (native-window or apify-window with 0 rows) bill 0 credits. Top-level artistId + artist{id,handle,name,url,avatar,followers,verified} join to /soundcloud/artist; artistUrl is the profile URL. nextCursor is an opaque token (not a SoundCloud api-v2 URL). Flat 2 credits when tracks return (limit default 20, max 100).

Billing metadata is returned in response headers: X-Captapi-Credits (credits charged), X-Captapi-Cache (hit or miss), and X-Captapi-Source. Failed requests (4xx/5xx) are never charged. See the full list of error codes in the error reference.

Response structure

A successful call returns success and a data object with the following fields:

Top-level fields

platformAlways "soundcloud" on this endpoint.
artistIdSoundCloud numeric artist id — join key for /soundcloud/artist.
artistUrlArtist profile URL (also on top-level artist.url).
requestedThe limit you sent (default 20, max 100).
totalReturnedNumber of items returned in this response.
listingHitsRows SoundCloud sent in this linked-partition page (may be below requested even when hasMore is true).
hydrateFailuresRows SoundCloud sent that did not become a track. 0 means we mapped every listing hit.
nextCursorOpaque pagination token, emitted only when the next native page has rows. Pass as cursor on the next call. Not a SoundCloud URL — do not edit.
hasMoreWhether more results are available beyond this page. When true, pass nextCursor to fetch the next page.

Artist

The artist object contains:

idId of this artist item.
handleAccount handle.
nameName of this artist item.
urlCanonical URL of the item.
avatarAvatar / profile picture URL. Canonical across profile endpoints.
followersFollower count.
verifiedWhether the account is verified on this platform.

Tracks

Each item in tracks contains:

platformAlways "soundcloud" on this endpoint.
idId of this tracks item.
urlCanonical URL of the item.
titleTitle of this tracks item.
genreMusic genre.
durationMsFull track length in milliseconds (SoundCloud full_duration — not the 30s preview clip).
playsPlayback count for the track.
likesLike count (number).
repostsRepost count.
downloadsDownloads. Example: 0.
commentsComment count as a number, including 0. Every measured artist-tracks row (350+) ships this key; omit-if-null remains only as a safety net if SoundCloud sends a null count.
publishedAtPublish date (ISO 8601) when the platform exposes an absolute timestamp.
releaseDateRelease date as ISO-8601 when SoundCloud exposes it; omitted otherwise.
licenseLicense identifier.
isrcISRC when SoundCloud's publisher_metadata exposes it; omitted otherwise.
downloadableDownloadable. Example: false.
streamableStreamable. Example: true.
waveformUrlWaveform url URL.
artworkArtwork URL.
tagsTrack tags from SoundCloud's tag_list. Always an array — [] when the track has none.

Frequently asked questions

What does the SoundCloud Artist Tracks API do?+

The SoundCloud Artist Tracks API lets you list items in bulk with metadata from a public SoundCloud sound or track using one GET request to /v1/soundcloud/artist-tracks. It returns clean JSON — no OAuth or infrastructure setup required.

How many credits does the SoundCloud Artist Tracks API cost?+

Each successful call costs 2 credits. Pass cache=true to serve from the 24h cache (0 credits on hit); default is always fresh. Selected profile endpoints also accept cacheMaxAge=1d|3d|7d|14d|30d. Failed or empty results are never charged.

Do I need a SoundCloud API key or OAuth?+

No. A single Captapi key works across every platform Captapi supports — YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter/X, Reddit, Threads, Bluesky, Pinterest, LinkedIn, Rumble, Spotify, Kwai, and more. We handle proxies, rate limits, retries, and authentication for you.

Why did I get 17 tracks when I asked for 20?+

SoundCloud's linked_partitioning can return a short page and still set hasMore. Read requested / listingHits / hydrateFailures / truncatedReason. listingHits=17, hydrateFailures=0, truncatedReason=platform-page means SoundCloud served 17 and we mapped all of them — pass nextCursor for the next page.

Why did paging stop with native-window instead of catalog-end?+

The public api-v2 window usually ends before the artist's full catalogue. We peek the next page before emitting nextCursor, so hasMore:false + truncatedReason=native-window means stop — we will not hand you a token and then 400 it. catalog-end is only when SoundCloud itself omits next_href. Empty pages bill 0 credits.

Why is comments on every row?+

Live artist-tracks rows always include comments as a number (including 0). tags is always an array; [] means the track has no tags.

Is the SoundCloud Artist Tracks API suitable for production use?+

Yes. It is a stable REST endpoint with predictable JSON and automatic retries. Pass cache=true to serve from the 24h cache (0 credits on hit); default is always fresh. Selected profile endpoints also accept cacheMaxAge=1d|3d|7d|14d|30d. Use it for analytics, monitoring, and content automation.
