Actually, the whole point of OAuth is that you can’t do that ;)

You could only try to load the login form in a HTML view inside your app and then grab the security code from the URL of the returned page.

But honestly, I wouldn’t enter my password in an app like this because there’s no way to know that you’re showing me the actual SoundCloud login form and not trying to phish my password. In the browser, you see the URL of the site and know that you’re sending your password to SoundCloud.

Is there a way to connect in an air application without opening a browser window?

I’m trying the advanced sample and I keep getting a 401 error:

POST http://api.sandbox-soundcloud.com/oauth/request_token [HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized 243ms]

I have created a sandbox account and am using my OAuth1 key and secret and I’m not sure how to debug?

awesome! I have it working. for connecting, but now i am looking for examples on how to implement specific calls. Specifically how to return a json feed of incoming tracks.

can you point me to specific documentation? I tried loading this url to get the feed:

_urlVar = “http://api.soundcloud.com/me/followings/tracks?consumer_key=[my consumer key]“;

but i get unauthorized access.

what am I doing wrong?

@dub Maybe you’re using the sandbox server with an account for the live server or vice versa. You need to create an extra account for each SoundCloud server

Hi,

Thanks a lot for sharing this tool. I’m attempting to use the flex example but I am constantly getting an Unhandled Http status error when attempting to get the access token. I am certain that my consumer key and secret key are correct.

Have you any idea what might be the cause?

In addition I am curious to know could you code be modified to use only an access token if that token was provided to my swf by the html page embedding it?

Thanks

Funny how problems seem to get solved just after asking somebody :)
Here’s the solution:

var delegate:SoundcloudDelegate = scClient.sendRequest(’me/favorites/3371381′, URLRequestMethod.POST, {_method: ‘PUT’});
delegate.addEventListener(SoundcloudEvent.REQUEST_COMPLETE, favoriteComplete);

Cheers.

Hello, I’ve been messing with the library but couldn’t edit favorites, I always get Unauthorized 401 error, altought “me” request works as expected.

Here’s what I’m trying to do:

var delegate:SoundcloudDelegate = scClient.sendRequest(’me/favorites/3371381′ URLRequestMethod.GET);
delegate.addEventListener(SoundcloudEvent.REQUEST_COMPLETE, favoriteComplete);

I’m using the production server, didn’t took the time to register twice etc.
Can you post a working snippet, I guess I’m missing something obvious here.

Thanks

@Marc
You’re right, the API uses the sandbox by default. That’s just to avoid that you accidentally mess up your live data when playing around with the API. To access the live system, you have to set the 4th argument in the constructor to “true”. So if you don’t use OAuth, that would be:
var scClient:SoundcloudClient = new SoundcloudClient(”", “”, null, true);
See the docs for a reference for all parameters:

Hi There

Thans for the API first. I have question which i could not solve so far.

I am currently implementing a custom flash player for public files of a specific user. I need to do it in flash, but actually i do not need auth, as only public content is used.

is it possible that:

var scClient:SoundcloudClient = new SoundcloudClient();

is always in sandbox mode? because the retrieved stream-url looks like this:
http://media.sandbox-soundcloud.com/stream/****

How can i connect as simple as described but in live mode, not sandbox.

Any help would be really apreciated.

Thanks a lot, beside this everything works really nice
Best M
