If you are looking to build an application on top of SoundCloud’s API, you can register your app and find what you need to know from our developer website. There you’ll find a great range of resources from Stack Overflow support, to information around rate limiting, to our API Terms of Use. 

If you have a question about acceptable commercial use of SoundCloud’s API, then we would please ask you to refer to the following section of our API Terms of Use.

If you break the rules

If we have reason to believe that you are acting in breach of our API Terms Of Use, or if we object to your use of the SoundCloud API for any other reason, we will revoke your access to the SoundCloud API by invalidating your client ID and client secret. Any attempt to circumvent this and obtain a new client ID and client secret is strictly prohibited.
