SoundCloud Track API
SoundCloud track — plays/likes/license, tags[], nested artist{}, streamUrl when streamable (1 credit).
Pass a SoundCloud track URL and get clean JSON: title, artist{id,handle,name,url,avatar,followers,verified} (chain id/handle into /soundcloud/artist), plays/likes/reposts/comments/downloads, license, genre/tags[] (always an array), publishedAt, isrc/releaseDate when exposed, streamable/downloadable (SoundCloud permission flags), and when the public api-v2 allows it — streamUrl (progressive MP3), hlsUrl, downloadUrl, plus mediaUrlsExpireAt for signed CDN links. Strict superset of an artist-tracks row (adds artist{} and stream URLs). waveformUrl is the waveform JSON endpoint, not audio. Flat 1 credit. Accepts cache / cacheMaxAge.

Query parameters
SoundCloud track URL. The URL platform must match this endpoint's platform. Do not pass cross-platform URLs, e.g. YouTube to TikTok, Instagram to Facebook, LinkedIn to X/Twitter, or Pinterest to Rumble.
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.
