Example

Downloading a Song

Note: This process can take few seconds if you do not provide api key because it will first find the api key and then fetch respective track url to get final stream url and then download it. To solve this issue, first get your soundcloud key using SoundCloud.keygen() and then save it somewhere. Later you can pass that key in SoundCloud.Client constructor: new SoundCloud.Client("API_KEY"). SoundCloud Scraper automatically detects SOUNDCLOUD_API_KEY from process.env.

const SoundCloud = require("soundcloud-scraper");
const client = new SoundCloud.Client();
const fs = require("fs");

client.getSongInfo("https://soundcloud.com/dogesounds/alan-walker-feat-k-391-ignite")
    .then(async song => {
        const stream = await song.downloadProgressive();
        const writer = stream.pipe(fs.createWriteStream(`./${song.title}.mp3`));
        writer.on("finish", () => {
          console.log("Finished writing song!")
          process.exit(1);
        });
    })
    .catch(console.error);
