Is there an example URL?

CoelacanthsKill commented 7 years ago

https://soundcloud.com/herbalpert/jump-street

You must have SoundcloudGo in order to listen to the entire song.

yan12125 commented 7 years ago

This track is not available in Taiwan

Which countries does it require?

CoelacanthsKill commented 7 years ago

It works in the USA, not sure about other countries.

SoundCloud now requires logging in via OAuth2, so that's a bit tricky to implement without registering an app and implementing a redirect flow. You can however just log in with a browser, read the OAuth-Token from the cookies and pass it to youtube-dl. SoundCloud will then provide the full-length tracks instead of only the preview when fetching, the rest works seamlessly 🙂 The cookie is called oauth_token and an example call would be youtube-dl --add-header 'Authorization':'OAuth 2-123456-123456789-aaa...' https://soundcloud.com/artist/track

Cheers!

@VFUC 's solution confirmed as working on 5/4/19. I did need to update to get it to work.

hussong commented 5 years ago

Can confirm as well that @VFUC's above solution is working as of 2019-05-14 with youtube-dl version 2019.05.11.

bersbersbers commented 4 years ago

Had to use

youtube-dl --add-header "Authorization:OAuth 2-..." https://soundcloud.com/artist/track

(note quotation marks) on Windows 10. Working fine otherwise on 2020.06.16.1.

Still works in 2024 ❤️

The extractor should look for this cookie and set it in the auth header or else raise_login_required(). We can check how yt-dlp handles this and implement or back-port as required.

Does this apply across the site, or is there some way (apart from detecting 401/403) to tell which pages need login?
