SoundCloud Plays & Followers Tracker - Likes, Reposts, Changes

Track SoundCloud numbers for any artist, track or playlist: this Actor returns a profile's followers and each track's plays, likes, reposts and comments as one flat row, with no login and no SoundCloud API key. Run it on a schedule with monitoring mode on and it returns only the profiles, tracks and playlists whose numbers moved since the last run, with the previous figure and the difference.

On 2026-10-23 the example input below (two profile links and one artist name) returned 26 rows in 6 seconds on Apify: 2 profiles, 23 tracks and 1 album with all 13 of its tracks. Asking for the 60 latest uploads of one profile took 3 seconds.

• Followers and every track's plays, likes, reposts and comments in one run: a profile row, then its popular tracks or latest uploads, each as its own row.
• Only what changed, on a schedule. Monitoring mode remembers the numbers and returns followersChange, playCountChange, likeCountChange and the other differences next to the previous figure. An item that did not move is not returned and not charged as a row.
• Profile links, track links, playlists, albums, short links or plain names. https://soundcloud.com/flume, flume, @flume, an on.soundcloud.com short link, a soundcloud:tracks: URN or an artist name like Billie Eilish all work.
• Exact numbers, never guessed. Counts are the integers SoundCloud publishes (50687504, not "50.6M"). A number SoundCloud does not give is null, never 0, so a change is never invented.
• Playlists and albums with every track in playlist order, and the total plays of all tracks when every track was read.
• Release details on tracks: ISRC, label, album title, genre, tags, release date, duration, license and downloads, where the uploader filled them in.
• Fewer rows come with the reason. A missing profile, an ambiguous name, a private link or a page that could not be read gets a free row that says why. These rows are never charged.

Unofficial and not affiliated with SoundCloud. It reads only what soundcloud.com shows to any visitor without logging in: no private tracks, no private share links, no messages, nothing behind a login.

What people use it for

• Artist growth tracking: follow your own or a client's followers and plays every day, and keep the history in a dataset, a spreadsheet or your own database.
• Release monitoring: schedule a run after a release and see how many plays, likes and reposts the new track gained since the last check.
• A&R and talent scouting: compare followers and play counts of many artists in one run, and spot the tracks that are moving.
• Label and playlist reporting: export every track of an album or playlist with its plays, likes and ISRC for a weekly report.
• Data for AI and analytics pipelines: one clean JSON row per profile, track or playlist, numbers as plain integers.

How to track SoundCloud plays and followers

1. Put the profiles, tracks, playlists or names in targets, one per line.
2. Choose how many tracks to add under each profile (tracksPerProfile, 5 by default) and whether they are the popular tracks or the latest uploads.
3. Click Start, then download the dataset as CSV, Excel or JSON, or read it from the Apify API, Python or Node.js.
4. To receive only changes, turn on monitoringMode and add a schedule (for example once a day) in Apify. The first monitoring run returns every item once; later runs return only items whose numbers moved.

Input

Field	Default	What it does
targets	none	Profile, track, playlist or album links, on.soundcloud.com short links, soundcloud:tracks:123 URNs, profile names (flume, @flume) or artist names (Billie Eilish). One per line, up to 1,000.
profileTracks	popular	popular = the tracks on the profile's Popular tracks tab, in SoundCloud's order (at most 25). latest = the newest uploads first.
tracksPerProfile	5	Tracks returned under each profile, 0 to 200. 0 returns the profile row only.
tracksPerPlaylist	50	Tracks returned for each playlist or album, in playlist order, 0 to 500. 0 returns the playlist row only.
maxItems	200	With monitoring off, the run stops after this many rows and names what it did not read in a free row.
monitoringMode	false	On = return only items whose numbers changed since the last run, with the previous figure and the difference.
monitorMode	any-change	any-change = any tracked number moved. headline-change = only followers (profile), plays (track) or likes (playlist).
resetMonitoringState	false	Forget the remembered numbers, so the next monitoring run returns each item once again.
useProxy	true	Retry through an Apify residential proxy only if SoundCloud answers 403 or 429. Off = no proxy is used or paid for.

A name is matched only when a profile has exactly that name. When several profiles share it and none is verified or has at least ten times the followers of the next one, a free ambiguous-name row lists the candidates instead of guessing; paste the profile link you want.

Output

Each row has rowType: profile, track or playlist. This track row was read from Apify on 2026-10-23 (UTC) with the example input:

Notes on the columns:

• Profile rows have followers, followings, trackCount, playlistCount, likesGiven, verified, proPlan, fullName, city, countryCode, avatarUrl and profileCreatedAt.
• Track rows have playCount, likeCount, repostCount, commentCount, downloadCount, durationSec, genre, tags, releaseDate, uploadedAt, isrc, albumTitle, labelName, license, artworkUrl and the owner's profileName and profileFollowers. parentUrl and position say which profile or playlist the track came from and its place there.
• Playlist rows have trackCount, likeCount, repostCount, setType (album, EP, single or playlist), isAlbum, durationSec, releaseDate and tracksPlayCountTotal. The total is filled in only when every track of the playlist was read; otherwise it is null rather than a partial sum.
• Monitoring columns: change (first-check or changed), changedFields, previousCheckedAt, and for each tracked number its previous... value and ...Change difference. When the previous figure was not available the difference is null.
• soundcloudId and urn identify the item; use them as a key when you store the history.
• Image links point to the 500 × 500 artwork.

FAQ

How do I see how many plays a SoundCloud track has? Put the track link in targets and click Start. The row has playCount, likeCount, repostCount and commentCount as plain integers, exactly as SoundCloud publishes them.

How can I track SoundCloud followers every day? Put the profiles in targets, turn on monitoringMode and add a daily schedule in Apify. Each run returns only the profiles and tracks whose numbers moved, with followersChange or playCountChange and the previous figure.

Can I get SoundCloud stats without the SoundCloud API or a login? Yes. The Actor reads only what soundcloud.com shows to any visitor, with no login, no cookies and no API key of your own. You can call it like an API from the Apify API, Python or Node.js and get JSON back.

Can I export all tracks of a SoundCloud playlist or album with their plays? Yes. Put the playlist or album link in targets and set tracksPerPlaylist (up to 500). Every track comes back in playlist order with its plays, likes and ISRC, and the playlist row has the total plays of all tracks.

Can I search by artist name instead of a link? Yes. A name such as Billie Eilish is matched to the profile with exactly that name. If several profiles share the name and none stands out, a free row lists them so you can paste the right link.

How much does it cost to track SoundCloud stats? You pay per row returned: $3.50 per 1,000 rows on the Apify Free plan and $2.40 per 1,000 on Gold and higher plans, plus a start fee of $0.02 or less per run. The example input (26 rows) costs about $0.11 on the Free plan. In monitoring mode an unchanged item costs only the check fee of $0.40 per 1,000 items or less, so a daily check of 100 tracks that did not move costs about $0.06 including the start fee.

Rows that are never charged

Status	Meaning
not-found	SoundCloud has no public profile, track or playlist at this address.
ambiguous-name	Several profiles have exactly this name, so none was picked. The row lists the candidates.
no-change	Monitoring mode: nothing you listed moved since the last run.
invalid-input	The line is not a SoundCloud address or name the Actor reads (for example a private share link or a search page).
duplicate-input	The same profile, track or playlist was already returned from an earlier line.
unreadable	The item could not be read, or SoundCloud answered with something other than the item asked for.
blocked	SoundCloud refused the request (403 or 429) even through the proxy. The run stops asking and names what it did not read.
no-web-key	SoundCloud did not accept the public web key. The run stops and nothing is charged.
not-read / budget-reached	maxItems or the run's maximum total charge was reached; the row names the lines and tracks that were left out.

Pricing

Pay per event. Rows that explain why something is missing are free.

Event	Free plan	Bronze	Silver	Gold and higher
Row returned (profile, track or playlist)	$3.50 / 1,000	$3.10 / 1,000	$2.70 / 1,000	$2.40 / 1,000
Item checked (monitoring mode only)	$0.40 / 1,000	$0.36 / 1,000	$0.33 / 1,000	$0.30 / 1,000
Run start	$0.02	$0.015	$0.012	$0.01

The check fee is charged only in monitoring mode, once per item that was read and compared, whether it changed or not. Set Maximum total charge in the run options to cap what one run can cost; the run stops there and names what it did not read.

Good to know

• Unofficial. Public data only. This Actor is not affiliated with SoundCloud.
• Numbers are read at the moment of the run. SoundCloud's own counters can differ slightly between two requests made at the same time.
• Private tracks and private share links (/s-...) are not read.
• SoundCloud lists at most 25 popular tracks for a profile, in its own order (not sorted by plays). Choose latest to go further back through a profile's uploads.
• Numbers are remembered per item, not per list, so adding a track to targets does not return the others again. Do not put the same item in two schedules that run at the same moment.
