Get Soundcloud URL for a track using only its ID

Question

I\'ve inherited a database of Soundcloud IDs and would like to build a page linking to each track on Soundcloud. Is it possible to link to a track on the Soundcloud website

Answer 1

It seems that the way to do this is to use the API. With a track number, you can call

http://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/12345678.json?client_id=YOUR_CLIENT_ID

This returns a JSON object with a permalink_url property which gives you the full url including the user and track name.

See the API tracks documentation for more details.
