Input

SettingTypeRequiredDefaultWhat it does
mode string Yes search Choose the intent. Keyword search, New & Hot charts, an artist catalog, specific URLs, track comments, or an artist's followers.
searchQueries array No [] One or more keywords or artist names (mode=search). Example: lofi, techno, ambient jazz.
searchType string No tracks What kind of results to return (mode=search).
chartGenre string No all Global New & Hot returns up to 100 tracks. Genre values use SoundCloud's current trending-by-genre lists (about 50 tracks each).
searchGenre string No – Optional SoundCloud genre filter for track and playlist searches. Leave as any genre to search everything. This is a real SoundCloud filter, not a client-side guess.
sortBy string No relevance How to order the rows already fetched. SoundCloud search itself is relevance-ordered, so this is a client-side sort of that result set.
minPlayCount integer No 0 Drop track/playlist rows below this play count after fetching. 0 means no filter.
minLikeCount integer No 0 Drop track/playlist rows below this like count after fetching. 0 means no filter.
artistUrls array No [] Artist profile URLs, usernames, or numeric user IDs. Used by artistTracks and followers modes.
includeTracks boolean No true Include the artist's uploaded tracks.
Show the other 12 settings
SettingTypeRequiredDefaultWhat it does
includeAlbums boolean No false Include the artist's albums/EPs as playlist rows.
includePlaylists boolean No false Include the artist's playlists as playlist rows.
includeTopTracks boolean No false Include SoundCloud's small top-tracks list for each artist.
includeWebProfiles boolean No false Add the artist's public social/web profile links to the profile row.
startUrls array No [] Track, playlist/album, or artist URLs. Numeric track IDs are also accepted. Used by mode=byUrl.
includePlaylistTracks boolean No true For playlist URLs, hydrate and emit every track (not just the first five).
includeUserProfile boolean No true For artist URLs in mode=byUrl, emit the profile row before the tracks.
trackUrls array No [] Tracks whose public comments should be collected. Used by mode=comments.
commentsSort string No newest How SoundCloud should order comments.
relationship string No followers For mode=followers, collect the artist's followers or the accounts the artist follows.
resolveStreamUrls boolean No true Add a playable signed stream URL plus protocol, preview and expiry fields. Signed URLs expire after about two hours. Turn off for large runs if you only need the stable API endpoint.
maxItems integer No 100 Hard cap on dataset rows. SoundCloud search still returns at most 300 rows per query; charts and per-artist sections have their own source limits.

Run it from code or an AI agent

The same run through the Apify API, with the example input. You need an Apify API token; the run is billed to your account at the Store price.

Python

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>")
run_input = {
    "mode": "search",
    "searchQueries": [
        "lofi"
    ],
    "searchType": "tracks",
    "chartGenre": "all",
    "sortBy": "relevance",
    "minPlayCount": 0,
    "minLikeCount": 0,
    "artistUrls": [],
    "includeTracks": True,
    "includeAlbums": False,
    "includePlaylists": False,
    "includeTopTracks": False,

    "trackUrls": [],
    "commentsSort": "newest",
    "relationship": "followers",
    "resolveStreamUrls": True,
    "maxItems": 2
}

run = client.actor("nimbryxo-studio/soundcloud-charts-search-and-artist-catalog").call(run_input=run_input)
if run is None:
    raise RuntimeError("The Actor run was not found.")
for item in client.dataset(run.default_dataset_id).iterate_items():
    print(item)

pip install apify-client

JavaScript

import { ApifyClient } from "apify-client";

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: "<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>" });
const input = {
    "mode": "search",
    "searchQueries": [
        "lofi"
    ],
    "searchType": "tracks",
    "chartGenre": "all",

    "trackUrls": [],
    "commentsSort": "newest",
    "relationship": "followers",
    "resolveStreamUrls": true,

};

const run = await client.actor("nimbryxo-studio/soundcloud-charts-search-and-artist-catalog").call(input);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(items);

npm install apify-client

cURL

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/actors/nimbryxo-studio~soundcloud-charts-search-and-artist-catalog/run-sync-get-dataset-items"   -H "Authorization: Bearer $APIFY_TOKEN"   -H "Content-Type: application/json"   -d '{"mode":"search","searchQueries":["lofi"],"searchType":"tracks","chartGenre":"all","sortBy":"relevance","minPlayCount":0,"minLikeCount":0,"artistUrls":[],"includeTracks":true,"includeAlbums":false,"includePlaylists":false,"includeTopTracks":false,"includeWebProfiles":false,"startUrls":[],"includePlaylistTracks":true,"includeUserProfile":true,"trackUrls":[],"commentsSort":"newest","relationship":"followers","resolveStreamUrls":true,"maxItems":2}'

Waits for the run and returns the dataset items (runs over 300 seconds return HTTP 408; start an async run instead).

MCP (AI agents)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "apify": {
      "url": "https://mcp.apify.com?tools=nimbryxo-studio/soundcloud-charts-search-and-artist-catalog",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer <YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>"
      }
    }
  }
}

Adds this Actor as a tool in an MCP client that takes a remote server URL (Cursor, VS Code, Claude Code) through Apify's hosted MCP server. OAuth sign-in also works without the header. Clients that only start local servers can wrap the URL with npx mcp-remote.

What a run costs

The result rate falls on higher Apify plans. Each figure is the published per-result rate times the number of results.

Apify planPer 1,00010,000 results100,000 results
Free plan$0.99$9.90$99
Starter plan$0.82$8.20$82
Scale plan$0.66$6.60$66
Business plan$0.49$4.90$49
  • Every run also has a start event, charged per GB of memory (minimum one): $0.10 on Free, $0.03 on Business. At its default memory of 1 GB a run starts at $0.10 on Free. Fewer, larger runs keep this small.
  • The Free plan includes $5 of monthly usage (Apify pricing, checked 2026-11-11); at the Free rate that covers at most about 5,050 results, less start events and platform usage.
  • Worked example: 10,000 results in one run on the Free plan cost $10 ($9.90 for results + $0.10 start), plus Apify platform usage (compute), billed separately by Apify.
  • Pay per event. Platform usage (compute) is billed by Apify on top of the event prices. Compare other tools in the cost estimator.

Where it fits among SoundCloud routes

It ranks 1 of 1 catalogue Actors for SoundCloud on the published formula (fields, price, reliability, freshness). Its line is highlighted on the map.

Bold labels are the core fields for this website, the rest are fields that differ between routes. A white capsule means every data line stops there. The red line is the official API; its field coverage is not compared. A crossed red line means there is no open official API.
