Find out id of track or use permalink to stream track?

Question

we want to use soundcloud to stream short sound snippets in our Android and iOS apps.

1. we upload a track
2. we get the permalink
3. we want to use it as the URL to stream the sound inside our app

Should we only add /stream to the url or how we get to know the id and so the streaming url?

example sound http://soundcloud.com/sebastian-kurt/audio-recording-on-friday/ how to find out streaming url?

Thanks, Sebastian

Answer 1

I suggest you read the SoundCloud API Documentation, notably http://developers.soundcloud.com/docs/api/reference#tracks

The response from API calls to /tracks give you a streamable & stream_url for the track.
