Trying to connect to public api #216

Closed unrealtone closed 4 weeks ago

unrealtone commented 2 years ago

Title: Unable to connect and get access_token

Issue found of: September 20th, 2020

Endpoint(s):

GET /oauth2/token

Scope(s):

I have read through the blogs and it seem grat_type = client_credentials is deprecated however Authorization requires redirect_uri and an auth code aswell. So do i need to register a new app to use even the public apis? But since we cant make any new apps does that mean that a new developer cannot use any of the apis?

Steps to reproduce:

curl --request GET \
  --url 'https://api.soundcloud.com/users/12345/tracks?limit=1&linked_partitioning=true&client_id=DONT_SHARE_CLIENT_ID'

Expected behaviour:

Get access_token

Actual behaviour:

401 Unauthorized access

Hi unrealtone,

I believe that you are correct that new users cannot use the api. The api requires registering an app, and that process is currently closed. https://github.com/soundcloud/api#can-i-request-an-api-key-for-a-new-app

With that said, I have seen people at Soundcloud receptive to new app registrations on a case by case basis, but you will need to contact them directly.

Why have applications been closed for 4 years? Is there anyone I can contact about this? I'm keen to register an app for a not-for-profit I run that could greatly benefit from being able to use the API

Contact them via the chat on soundcloud.com i got an answer within 2 weeks and they updated the app once redirect url was provided.

Does anybody have an update on this? This is causing me trouble as well. I want to make a custom player and am unsatisfied with their current method of just using an iframe.
