SoundCloud Artist Scraper API

The SoundCloud Artist endpoint is one API call: send either a handle or a URL with your HProxy key and get back a clean, structured JSON object. Pull a SoundCloud artist page: bio, follower and track counts, top tracks with play counts, and every link on the profile. HProxy runs the proxies, sessions, anti-bot handling and parsing server-side, so there is no headless browser to babysit and no parser to keep fixing when SoundCloud changes its markup. You only ever touch the JSON.
  • 0.15¢ per call
  • $1.49 per 1,000
  • Takes either a handle or a URL
  • Errors and timeouts are not charged

The call

One GET, and the artist comes back as JSON.

Your key goes in one header. 1 required parameter, and the answer is the object below it.

How it works

Scraping SoundCloud artist, in three steps.

You write one line. Proxies, anti-bot walls, rendering and parsing happen on our side.

  1. 1

    Create a free account

    Sign up and top up any amount. The balance pays for every HProxy product.
  2. 2

    Grab your API key

    One key from the dashboard authenticates every scraper.
  3. 3

    Call the endpoint

    Send the GET you need and read the JSON. That is the entire integration.

What people build with it

SoundCloud artist questions

Answered before you ask.

The reference

Send one authenticated HTTPS request to the SoundCloud Artist endpoint with either a handle or a URL and your HProxy API key. Pull a SoundCloud artist page: bio, follower and track counts, top tracks with play counts, and every link on the profile. No proxies, no headless browser and no parsing on your side. The response is ready-to-use JSON.

This endpoint is 0.15¢ per successful call, which is $1.49 per 1,000. It bills from your HProxy balance with no subscription and no monthly minimum. Errors are retried and never charged; a lookup whose target does not exist counts as a call.

The API only accesses publicly available SoundCloud data, the same pages anyone can open in a browser. You are responsible for using the data in line with applicable laws and SoundCloud's terms for your use case.

A structured JSON object with the full artist data SoundCloud exposes publicly. See the fields listed above. The schema is consistent across calls, so you integrate once and rely on it.

No. Every call runs on HProxy's own residential network behind the scenes, so requests look like real users. The proxy layer is already included in the per-call price.

More on the SoundCloud Artist API

What the SoundCloud Artist endpoint returns

Pull a SoundCloud artist page: bio, follower and track counts, top tracks with play counts, and every link on the profile. The JSON object carries monthlyListeners, topTracks[], releases[] and related[]. Nothing is summarised away on our side, so what you read in the response is what the SoundCloud artist page itself holds.

What you send to the SoundCloud Artist API

The call takes either a handle or a URL, and any one of handle and url satisfies it. Optional: handle and url. Your key travels in the X-API-Key header, the response is JSON, and the call is billed at 0.15¢, $1.49 per 1,000.

Profiles on other platforms

The same profiles data is available on 18 other platforms: Spotify Artist, TikTok Profile, Facebook Profile, YouTube Channel, Instagram Profile, LinkedIn Profile, Twitter / X Profile, Reddit Subreddit Details, Threads Profile, Twitch Profile, Bluesky Profile, Truth Social Profile, Komi Page, Linkbio Page, Linkme Profile, Linktree Page, Pillar Page and Snapchat Profile. They share this endpoint's JSON shape, its per-call billing and your one API key, so moving from SoundCloud to another network is a change of URL rather than a second integration.

Is scraping SoundCloud artist allowed?

The endpoint reads publicly available SoundCloud data, the same pages anyone can open in a browser without logging in. It does not touch private accounts or anything behind a password. How you then use the data is yours to keep lawful, under the rules that apply to you and to SoundCloud.
