SoundCloud Scraper — Artists, Tracks & Creator Leads (Emails, Socials & Plays)

Extract complete SoundCloud data — full artist profiles (followers, track counts, play counts, city, country, Pro status), tracks and playlists with genres and play stats, and turn every artist into a ready-to-contact creator lead: the booking/management email from their bio, every linked social (Instagram, YouTube, Spotify, Twitter/X, TikTok, Facebook), and — optionally — emails & phone numbers crawled from their own website.

No login, no OAuth, no API key, no browser — fast JSON extraction from SoundCloud's own public API with 99%+ reliability.

Why this SoundCloud scraper?

Most SoundCloud scrapers return a track list and stop. This actor pulls from SoundCloud's internal api-v2 and ships the richest dataset in the category, built for A&R, sync licensing, distribution, PR, and artist outreach:

Use cases

• Sync, distribution & label outreach — build target lists of unsigned artists with contact data, label names and ISRCs.
• Playlist & catalog research — pull tracks and playlists with genres, play counts and release dates for trend and market analysis.
• PR & influencer marketing — find creators by audience size and topic, then contact them with verified emails and social handles.

Automate & schedule

Run this actor on autopilot and pull results into your own stack:

• Apify API — start runs, fetch datasets, and manage schedules over REST.
• apify-client for JavaScript and apify-client for Python — official SDKs.
• Schedules — run it hourly/daily/weekly with monitorMode on to capture only new artists or new uploads in a genre; perfect for A&R pipelines and newsletters.
• Webhooks — trigger downstream actions (CRM import, Slack alert, email sequence) the moment a run finishes.

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: 'MY_APIFY_TOKEN' });

const run = await client.actor('scrapesage/soundcloud-scraper').call({
    mode: 'searchArtists',
    searchTerms: ['hip hop beats'],
    maxResultsPerQuery: 50,
    enrichCreatorContacts: true,
    withEmailOnly: true,
});

const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(`Got ${items.length} artist leads`);

Integrate with any app

Connect the dataset to 5,000+ apps — no code required:

• Make — multi-step automation scenarios.
• Zapier — push new creator leads straight into your CRM.
• Slack — get notified when a monitored search finds new artists.
• Google Drive / Sheets — auto-export every run to a spreadsheet.
• Airbyte — pipe results into your data warehouse.
• GitHub — trigger runs from commits or releases.

Use with AI assistants (MCP)

The output is clean, LLM-ready JSON. You can call this actor from Claude, ChatGPT, or any agent framework through the Apify MCP server — ask your assistant to "find techno producers on SoundCloud with over 10k followers and list their contact emails" and let it run this scraper for you.

Agent-ready: autonomous payments (x402 & Skyfire)

This actor is agent-ready — AI agents can discover it, run it, and pay for it autonomously, with no Apify account and no human in the loop. It uses pay-per-event pricing and limited permissions, so it qualifies for Apify's agentic-payment standards:

• x402 — an open, HTTP-native payment protocol. Agents pay per run in USDC on the Base network directly through the Apify MCP server — no account, no API key.
• Skyfire — agent-to-service payments for fully autonomous AI-agent workflows.

Building an AI agent, MCP tool, or autonomous data pipeline? This scraper is ready to plug in and pay as it goes.

Tips

• Genre targeting: search broad genre terms (lofi, techno, drill, house) or niche ones — SoundCloud's search returns artists and tracks ranked by relevance.
• Best leads: turn on includeWebProfiles (default) for socials + website, then enrichCreatorContacts to crawl the website, and set withEmailOnly to keep only contactable artists.
• Recurring monitoring: combine Schedules with monitorMode to track only newly listed artists/tracks; it dedupes against earlier runs and never conflicts with the scheduler.
• Cost control: web-profile fetches and website crawls are per-artist; lower maxResultsPerQuery for quick test runs.

FAQ

Do I need a SoundCloud API key or login? No. The actor uses SoundCloud's public web API with the same public client_id the website uses, discovered automatically at runtime. If SoundCloud rotates that key and results look empty, paste a fresh one into the clientId input.

Where do the emails come from? From the artist's public bio (where many list a "Management" / "Booking" email) and their webProfiles. With enrichCreatorContacts on, the actor also visits the artist's own public website and extracts publicly listed contact emails — the same thing a human visitor would see.

Can I export to Google Sheets, CSV, or Excel? Yes — one click in the dataset view, or automatically on every run via the Google Drive integration.

How do I monitor new uploads automatically? Turn on monitorMode, then create a Schedule. Each run emits only artists/tracks not seen before.

A field is null — why? Some artists genuinely don't publish a city, website or email. Fields are null only when the data doesn't exist, not because the scraper skipped them.

Is scraping SoundCloud legal? This actor collects publicly available data only. You are responsible for using the data in compliance with applicable laws (GDPR/CCPA for personal data) and SoundCloud's terms.
