To use the APIs properly, you need to register an app to authenticate, whereas with this approach it's jacking a client ID generated for the Web-based client, it appears. This approach is necessary because SoundCloud shut down its API app registration form about 9 months ago (around the time they made big layoffs) with no sign it'll open again. Even when registration was open it was just a Google form and people got rejected after waiting weeks for a response - https://twitter.com/JamesPaulDuncan/status/867198702561091584 https://twitter.com/JamesPaulDuncan/status/86719870256109158... - so I'm not surprised people are hacking around it. I haven't seen SC respond to any of the numerous requests about this on Twitter either, so I suspect anything that doesn't directly make money at SoundCloud doesn't get attention anymore.
