Mixcloud Scraper: Show & Creator Monitor

Scrape public Mixcloud show, creator, search, genre, and comment metadata into flat JSON/CSV, then monitor new or updated records by state key. Built for music publishers, catalog teams, and researchers who need structured public Mixcloud data without manual checks or audio extraction.

Public Mixcloud metadata, ready for repeat monitoring. Collect shows, creators, searches, genres, and comments. Reuse a state key to receive only new or changed records on later runs.

Public metadata Shows, creators, tags, engagement, and optional public comments.

Five collection modes Exact shows, creator catalogs, search, latest genre, and popular genre.

Change-focused runs A stable state key marks first-seen and changed records for follow-up.

What it collects

• Show metadata for public Mixcloud show URLs.
• Creator shows from public creator profile URLs.
• Search shows matching a query.
• Latest in genre and Popular in genre public feeds.
• Optional public creator details and comment rows, within one shared output limit.

All collection uses https://api.mixcloud.com. The Actor does not download audio, resolve stream URLs, use credentials, access private accounts, or bypass access controls.

How monitoring works

STEP 1 Choose a mode Pick show, creator, search, latest genre or popular genre.

STEP 2 Add your sources Paste Mixcloud links, or enter a search query or genre.

STEP 3 Reuse the scope Keep the same monitor scope so later runs return only new or updated records.

Set onlyNewItems to true and reuse the same monitorScope for one scope. The first run emits records as new; later runs omit unchanged records and label changed records as updated. The latest totals, errors, and unchanged count are stored in RUN_SUMMARY.

Row or field	Meaning
recordType / status	show, comment, or status; outcome is ok, error, or unsupported_policy.
Show fields	sourceUrl, sourceKey, title, description, slug, timestamps, duration, public engagement counts, tags, and public artwork URL when supplied.
Creator fields	Public username, name, URL, and optional details and aggregate counts.
Comment fields	Public comment text, timestamp, author details, and related show fields when supplied.
monitoringStatus	new or updated when onlyNewItems is enabled.

Policy boundary

authorizedStreamLinks is intentionally supported only as a structured policy response. When selected, it emits one status: "unsupported_policy" row and continues collecting the requested public metadata. It does not resolve, expose, download, archive, or bypass access restrictions for audio or private streams.

Pricing

$0.00263 per metadata row. A billable metadata row is a supported public show, creator, search, genre, or comment record returned to the dataset. An unsupported_policy status row is an honest capability notice, not an audio or stream result. Set maxItems to control the maximum dataset size.

FAQ

Does this Actor download Mixcloud audio?

No. It collects public metadata and public page links only.

What happens if I request authorized stream links?

The Actor returns an unsupported_policy status row and continues with public metadata collection. No stream or audio link is returned.

Can I monitor a creator or genre over time?

Yes. Run the same input with onlyNewItems: true and a stable monitorScope.
