SoundCloud API URLs timing out and then returning error 403 on about 50% of tracks [closed]

Answer 1

Not the perfect solution, just a workaround...

Using the client side SoundCloud Widget API you'll be able to load the track in iframe, then get info with getCurrentSound method.

//javascript code sample...
var widget= SC.Widget(iframe);
widget.getCurrentSound(
 function(infos){
    console.log(infos);
 }
);

Testing on https://w.soundcloud.com/player/api_playground.html with https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/256202279 (and many others unresolved API urls) it works.

Not the perfect solution, I know...
