Does your soundcloud-cli app use credentials?

Hi, Timo!
One dev question: Does your great go/golang app use any credentials to search/listen music/download operations?
If yes, please share them. I want to create C# analog of your soundcloud-cli solution (but with simplest UI) to listen music at my old sweet Lumia950 WinPhone :)
Best wishes,
mediaexplorer
P.S. soundcloud blocked any new app registration, so I need your help...

Hi @mediaexplorer74 ,

no it does not use any credentials. It operates the same way like your browser does when not being logged in to SoundCloud. So it only uses public APIs.
And yes, SoundCloud discarded their API Key registration programm year ago unfortunately.

Btw: I build similar app just for Android TVs (like Fire TV). You can have a look to the code if you want SoundOnFire

Best,
Timo
