TL;DR

Artist track list — same track shape as /soundcloud/track, artist{} once at top, opaque cursor (2 credits). 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) — without repeating artist{} on every row. 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 per call (limit up to 100).

What you get

Bulk list of artist tracks with metadata
Dates, URLs, and engagement fields when available
Configurable result limit
Ideal for monitoring and content pipelines
