i tried pip install soundscrape demjson==2.2.3 too but it didn't work.

  note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.

My original comment was:

Using miniconda3, after installation:

1. conda init
2. conda create --name <name_your_env> python=3.9
3. conda activate <name_your_env>
4. pip install "setuptools<58.0.0"
5. pip install soundscrape Edit, turns out step 6 was also required for me:
6. pip install six

Then: soundscrape --help should work.

soundscrape --help works fine then, but even if I use their own examples: soundscrape rabbit-i-am -n 3 - there's errors.

The issue I encounter now was shared here. I believe currenctly the issues run deeper than just versions or dependencies. Pure conjecture: Scraping music off of soundcloud has become more obfuscated and this repo/package did not "go with the times".

A selenium approach may be of necessity now.

I eventually got it to work with installing python 3.9, installing "setuptools<58.0.0" and then running pip install soundscrape demjson==2.2.3 again.

now i'm noticing the Client ID is likely out of date:

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

I confirm what the guy above me said.

Did you also have to do step 6 - pip install six as it was for me?
