README

A Laravel Wrapper for the SoundCloud REST API endpoints.

Installation

First, you need to add the component to your composer.json.

composer require noweh/laravel-soundcloud

Update your packages with composer update or install with composer install.

Laravel uses Package Auto-Discovery, so doesn't require you to manually add the ServiceProvider.

Laravel without auto-discovery

Noweh\SoundcloudApi\SoundcloudServiceProvider::class,

To use the facade, add this in app.php:

'Soundcloud' => Noweh\SoundcloudApi\SoundcloudFacade::class,

Service Provider

After updating composer, add the ServiceProvider to the providers array in config/app.php

Configuration file

Next, you must migrate config :

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Noweh\SoundcloudApi\SoundcloudServiceProvider"

⚠️ {CALLBACK_URL} must be identical to the one indicated in your SoundCloud account.

Usage

⚠️ Since July 2021, most calls to SoundCloud REST API requires an access_token.

You have to redirect the user to the SoundCloud login page:

return redirect(\Soundcloud::getAuthorizeUrl('a_custom_param_to_retrieve_in_callback'));

On your callback URL, you can call GET/POST/PUT/DELETE methods. The access_token will be automatically generated with the code parameter present in this URL.

If you want to use API calls in another page, you have to set manually this data:

\Soundcloud::setCode('3-134981-158678512-IwAXqypKWlDJCF');

// API Call
...

Get Player Embed

This call doest not requires an access_token.

To retrieve the widget embed code for any SoundCloud URL pointing to a user, set, or a playlist, do the following:

// Required parameter
$url = 'https://soundcloud.com/......';

// Optional parameters
$maxheight = 180;
$sharing = true;
$liking = true;
$download = false;
$show_comments = true;
$show_playcount = false;
$show_user = false;

try {
    $response = \Soundcloud::getPlayerEmbed($url, $maxheight, $sharing, $liking, $download, $show_comments, $show_playcount, $show_user)
} catch (Exception $e) {
    exit($e->getMessage());
}

GET

try {
    $response = \Soundcloud::get('users/{CLIENT_ID}/tracks');
} catch (Exit $e) {
    exit($e->getMessage());
}

GET with pagination

Most results from our API are returned as a collection. The number of items in the collection returned is limited to 50 by default with a maximum value of 200. Most endpoints support a linked_partitioning parameter that allows you to page through collections. When this parameter is passed, the response will contain a next_href property if there are additional results. To fetch the next page of results, simply follow that URI. If the response does not contain a next_href property, you have reached the end of the results.

try {
    $tracks = [];
    $params = ['linked_partitioning' => true, 'limit' => 100 ];
    $response = \Soundcloud::get('users/{CLIENT_ID}/tracks', $params);
    while (property_exists($response, 'next_href') && !empty($response->next_href)) {
        $tracks = array_merge($tracks,$response->collection);
        $response = \Soundcloud::get($response->next_href);
    }
} catch (Exit $e) {
    exit($e->getMessage());
}

POST

try {
    $response = \Soundcloud::post(
        'tracks/1/comments',
        [
            'body' => 'a new comment'
        ]
    );
} catch (Exception $e) {
    exit($e->getMessage());
}

PUT

try {
    $response = \Soundcloud::put(
        'tracks/1',
        [
            'title' => 'my new title'
        ]
    );
} catch (Exception $e) {
    exit($e->getMessage());
}

DELETE

try {
    $response = \Soundcloud::delete('tracks/1');
} catch (Exception $e) {
    exit($e->getMessage());
}
