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...

API Credentials from Your Terminal, and OpenAPI on GitHub
A small CLI for API credentials, plus the OpenAPI spec on GitHub where you can actually wget it.

SoundCloud has always been and will remain artist-first. We don’t use artist content to train AI. We don’t allow scraping. We’ve even added a “no AI” tag to block unauthorized use. Any future AI tools will be built for artists to enhance discovery, protect rights, and expand opportunities.
