How to get proper soundcloud url for embedding from a standard url?

So right now I can grab the url from already embedded soundcloud files in embed or iframe tags and use those urls on another page and display it in fancybox. Is there a way to get the right url or display in fancybox if a user offers a typical share url such as http://soundcloud.com/song-b/song-please or http://snd.sc/yp6VMo? I tried looking at the api documentation but I couldn't really find what I was looking for.

He is trying to get html to create a Soundcloud widget, not get the API url for a track. The oEmbed method "will serve the widget embed code for any SoundCloud URL pointing to a user, group, set or a playlist" and is recommended to make sure Soundclouds changes don't break your app (as opposed making your own Flash object or iframe). You can call it with a PHP web request to

http://soundcloud.com/oembed?format=js&url=[escaped_url]&iframe=true

Or with a JSON-P call (using jQuery for convenience)

$.getJSON('http://soundcloud.com/oembed?callback=?',
    {format: 'js', url: 'http://snd.sc/yp6VMo', iframe: true},
    function(data) {
        // Stick the html content returned in the object into the page
        $('#your_player_div').html(data['html'])
    }
)

I'm adding iframe=true so you get the new HTML5 player, omit to get the old Flash object. It also works with the .sc short urls you are using.

you can try this for song url not for the id of song url

    <iframe width="100%" height="166" scrolling="no" frameborder="no"src="http://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=http://api.soundcloud.com/elissafranceschi/war&auto_play=false&color=915f33&theme_color=00FF00"></iframe>

I'm not exactly sure what you're asking here, but it sounds like you might need the "resolve" API endpoint. http://developers.soundcloud.com/docs/api/resolve

Example:

$ curl -v 'http://api.soundcloud.com/resolve.json?url=http://soundcloud.com/matas/hobnotropic&client_id=YOUR_CLIENT_ID'

HTTP/1.1 302 Moved Temporarily
Location: http://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/49931.json

This will give you all the track information and that should be enough for whatever you need to do. Also don't forget that there's the HTML5 widget too.

I haven't tried this, modified code from here:

<object height="81" width="100%">
   <param name="movie" value="http://player.soundcloud.com/player.swf?url=<?php echo $url; ?>&amp;g=bb"></param>
   <param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param>
   <embed allowscriptaccess="always" height="81" src="http://player.soundcloud.com/player.swf?url=<?php echo $url; ?>&amp;g=bb" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="100%"></embed>
</object>
<a href="<?php echo $url; ?>"><?php echo $url; ?></a>
