Pass a SoundCloud artist URL or username and get clean JSON: id, handle (permalink slug — the join key), name, description, avatar, city/countryCode, verified, subscriptionTier (pro-unlimited|pro|mid-tier|free — one field, not badges + creatorSubscription duplicates), followers/followings/trackCount/playlistCount/likesCount, externalLinks[{url,network,title,username}] from SoundCloud web-profiles when published, createdAt when SoundCloud exposes it (often redacted on the public api-v2), and lastModified. Identity is handle + name only. city/countryCode are omitted when unpublished (never nulled). Flat 1 credit. Accepts cache / cacheMaxAge.

Set true to serve from the response cache (default TTL). Default false — always fetch fresh. Prefer cacheMaxAge when you need 1d–30d freshness control.
Max age of a cached response: 1d, 3d, 7d, 14d, or 30d. When set, enables caching with that TTL.
