curl https://api.unifapi.com/soundcloud/users/{username} \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $UNIFAPI_KEY"Parameters
- usernamepathrequired
- SoundCloud username, as in soundcloud.com/{username}.
- The parameter for this SoundCloud operation. Use the URL-visible slug or id described in the docs.
This operation is part of the SoundCloud API in the music category. It uses the same Bearer token, request tracing, error model, and billing envelope as every UnifAPI endpoint, so agents can switch between platforms without custom per-vendor glue code.
Use it when a workflow needs SoundCloud public data alongside other music catalogs, but should still keep one API key, one account balance, and one predictable JSON contract.
Common agent workflows
- Resolve a public SoundCloud identity into structured profile metadata for enrichment agents.
- Refresh creator, company, or account snapshots without managing source-specific response shapes.
- Give an AI agent a stable SoundCloud data source without building a per-platform integration.
- Normalize SoundCloud responses into the same UnifAPI envelope used across the catalog.
Unified envelope, platform-native fields
- Lookup responses return one canonical object in `data` with stable identifiers, source URLs where available, and platform-specific metadata normalized into predictable JSON.
- The operation has a 3 credits ($0.003) minimum charge, so `billing.records_charged` can be higher than the visible records returned.
- A not-found or invalid-input condition uses the unified UnifAPI error shape, so callers do not need special handling for each source platform.
Response status codes
Billing
This operation charges 1 credit per billable record, with a 3 credits ($0.003) operation minimum. Public responses include billing metadata with credits charged, records charged, and remaining workspace balance. Incorrect Credit deductions caused by platform failures can be restored as billing corrections.
Errors and retries
Authentication, validation, rate-limit, not-found, and provider errors use the unified UnifAPI error format. Agents should log `request_id`, retry only retryable failures, and treat invalid API keys, disabled keys, and expired keys as the same public `unauthorized` error type.
