It wraps GET-only endpoints and provides methods to fetch user profiles, tracks, playlists, and other metadata. The library requires an OAuth2 access token (extracted from your browser's SoundCloud session cookies) for authenticated operations, though some read-only methods may work without authentication.\n\nThe package targets a gap left by SoundCloud's closure of official API registrations; it trades official support for practical access to public SoundCloud data. It depends on dacite for data deserialization, python-dateutil for timestamp handling, and curl_cffi for HTTP requests. The maintainer notes that undocumented API parameters can be passed via **kwargs, making it somewhat resilient to API changes.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need SoundCloud data access and cannot use the official API. The package is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, and carries a permissive license. However, be aware that it relies on SoundCloud's undocumented internal API, which could change or be blocked at any time without notice\u2014use it for non-critical applications or with fallback strategies."},"id":"soundcloud-v2","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/soundcloud-v2","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/soundcloud-v2.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/soundcloud-v2/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-04-26","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"soundcloud-v2","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Python wrapper for the internal v2 SoundCloud API.Does not require an API key."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":84208,"position":14017,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.7.0"}
