## Pricing

from $1.40 / 1,000 artists

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## SoundCloud Scraper — artists, emails, socials, tracks & plays

Scrape **SoundCloud artists and tracks** without login. For each artist: followers, following, number of tracks, verified badge, Pro account, city, bio, **booking and management emails**, and **links to Instagram, Spotify, YouTube, TikTok, Bandcamp** and more. **Find artists by keyword** with a follower range and an email filter. Track stats: plays, likes, reposts, comments, genre, tags and dates.

Built for **music marketing, A\&R scouting, playlist and label outreach, and promoter or brand partnerships**.

### Why this one

- **Contacts**: emails from the bio and the artist's links (management, agents, booking).
- **Social links** set on the profile, as a clean `{network: url}` object.
- **Emerging artists**: search by genre or keyword with a follower range ("techno", 1k–100k followers, with email).
- **Track performance**: plays, likes, reposts and comments for an artist's latest tracks or any track URL.

### Input

Find emerging artists to contact:

```json
{
  "searchArtists": ["techno", "melodic house"],
  "maxArtistsPerSearch": 100,
  "minFollowers": 1000,
  "maxFollowers": 100000,
  "onlyWithEmail": true
}
```

Profile known artists and their latest tracks:

```json
{ "artists": ["odesza", "https://soundcloud.com/lofi_girl"], "tracksPerArtist": 20 }
```

### Output (field `type`)

| type | Main fields |
|---|---|
| `artist` | `username`, `url`, `fullName`, `verified`, `proAccount`, `followers`, `following`, `tracks`, `playlists`, `city`, `country`, `description`, `emails`, `links`, `avatar` |

### Example output

  ],
  "links": {
    "instagram": "https://www.instagram.com/deephousesa/",
    "facebook": "https://www.facebook.com/DeepHouseSouthAfrica/",

  "avatar": "https://i1.sndcdn.com/avatars-C4s78lfmRf1D7iD6-YPXwcw-t500x500.jpg",
  "search": "house"
}
```

### How much does it cost?

You pay only for results delivered, at a fixed price per item. **Apify platform usage is included** in that price, so there are no compute costs on top. Errors and items that couldn't be found are free.

| What you get | Price | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Artist | $0.002 each | 1,000 artists = $2.00 |
| Track | $0.0005 each | 1,000 tracks = $0.50 |

The Apify **Free plan includes $5 of monthly credit**, enough for about **2,500 artists** per month at no cost. You can also set a maximum spend per run.

On paid Apify plans it gets cheaper automatically: **10% off on Starter, 20% on Scale and 30% on Business**.

echo '{
  "artists": [
    "odesza",
    "https://soundcloud.com/lofi_girl"

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
