🎵 SoundCloud Track Scraper

🚀 Export SoundCloud tracks with play counts, likes, artist data, and metadata in seconds. No account required - works right out of the box.

The SoundCloud Track Scraper lets you search SoundCloud and extract structured data for any tracks matching your query. All data is scraped in real time from SoundCloud's public API - no stale cache, no login required.

Each record includes the track's title, artist, play count, likes, comments, reposts, duration, genre, tags, description, artist follower count, artwork URL, and creation date. Data is delivered in JSON, CSV, Excel, or XML via the Apify dataset.

SoundCloud hosts over 300 million tracks across every genre imaginable - from lo-fi beats to underground house, ambient, hip-hop, jazz, and more. This scraper surfaces that catalogue in a structured, machine-readable format you can pipe into analytics tools, dashboards, or your own applications.

📋 What the SoundCloud Scraper does

• Search SoundCloud by any keyword, genre, artist name, or mood
• Extracts full track metadata: title, artist, play count, likes, comments, reposts, duration, genre, tags
• Converts artwork to high-resolution 500x500 URLs automatically
• Splits raw tag strings into clean arrays
• Paginates automatically to collect up to 1,000,000 results
• Delivers data in JSON, CSV, Excel, or XML - ready to download

💡 Why it matters: SoundCloud exposes richer metadata than most streaming platforms - including per-track play counts, comment counts, and tag lists - making it ideal for granular music analytics that platforms like Spotify don't offer publicly.
