Get a list of all artists from Soundcloud

Question

Is there any way of getting a list of all artists who are presented on Soundcloud ( via it`s API or by some other means) ?

Answer 1

Here is a bit of code which should point you in the right direction. Problem could be the response limit, which is 200.

That's why you have to store the responses anywhere to get a full list of all artists (users) on SC.

To get a list of users you can do the following by using the SC JS SDK. May be you can play around with the q parameter.

JS Code:

SC.initialize({ client_id: "201b55a1a16e7c0a122d112590b32e4a"});
SC.get('/users', { limit: 200}, function(users) { console.log(users);});
