Automatic Soundcloud PHP Api authentication without user interaction

Question

In my application i want to use the Soundcloud API with my own Soundcloud user. The Soundcloud API authentication process involves a user being redirected to the Soundcloud

Answer 1

I'm looking for the same thing, but according to the soundcloud's api (check the Authenticating without the SoundCloud Connect Screen paragraph):

// this example is not supported by the PHP SDK

..and is not supported by the Javascript neither.

I've tryed to auth with python:

# create client object with app and user credentials
client = soundcloud.Client(client_id='YOUR_CLIENT_ID',
                           client_secret='YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET',
                           username='YOUR_USERNAME',
                           password='YOUR_PASSWORD')

..then the uploading python method:

# upload audio file
track = client.post('/tracks', track={
    'title': 'This is my sound',
    'asset_data': open('file.mp3', 'rb')
})

and it works just fine.

So, for now, you have 2 ways:

1. Use another language, Python or Ruby (the only 2 sdk that actually support this feature) or use a small python/ruby script as a bridge for this particular need;
2. Add this funcionaliy to the PHP SDK (i'm trying to do it quick'n'dirty, if i get success, i'll share ;)
