Encountered a problem accessing my tracks from browser. Usually i type this link in my browser to access downloadable tracks:
http://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/294324164/download?client_id=02gUJC0hH2ct1EGOcYXQIzRFU91c72Ea
But now i can not access it anymore, probably the client id is changed. How can i obtain a new client id?
Thanks.
Simple.. Go to any tracks that you can download on soundcloud, press f12 and look at networks tab, click download and it will show you something like
Grab that client_id, replace it and amend the url from download? to stream?.. use streams? if you want a list of urls in json format

See this user's solution for a way to do this without a CLIENT ID which you can no longer get from soundcloud: https://stackoverflow.com/a/27461646/179571
As no one else has mentioned it, in Google Chrome under DevTools F12, you can grab your client_id from the Network tab on reload. Many items listed here reference the SoundCloud API and require your client_id to access it. Simply click any item in the list that isn't an image/base64 item (like something that begins with id?...), then look in the Request URL for the client_id.
It's the simplest way to grab the ID; now that you know how, don't do anything illegal k thx.
For those thinking this is the same as the other answer mentioning a download link, this method skips that entirely as many songs are no longer downloadable from SoundCloud itself, but from external sources that are linked instead.
You can apply for a client ID by filling in the SoundCloud Application Registration form.
