Discover step-by-step guide on integrating Bubble.io with SoundCloud API. Master the integration process quickly and easily.
SoundCloud API stands for SoundCloud Application Programming Interface. It's a set of rules and protocols provided by SoundCloud for developers to interact with SoundCloud's platform and services. This API acts as a bridge between the developer's application and SoundCloud's database, allowing developers to retrieve, edit, and manipulate data. It allows for various actions such as playing tracks, creating playlists, following users, and more. The SoundCloud API truly enables developers to integrate SoundCloud's features into their applications.

Starting a new venture? Need to upgrade your web or mobile app? RapidDev builds Bubble apps with your growth in mind.
First and foremost, open up your Bubble.io project. Go to the tab named "Plugins". This is where you can add the SoundCloud API to your project. Click on the button labeled "Add Plugins".
Once you are on the "Add Plugins" page, you can search for the SoundCloud API plugin. Please note, this guide assumes the existence of a SoundCloud API plugin in Bubble.io. At present, there is no official SoundCloud API plugin available in Bubble Plugin Library. In such cases, you have to use the Bubble.io's API connector to create one manually. We'll cover this in the later steps.
Click on the SoundCloud API plugin and install it in your Bubble.io project. Follow the instructions to successfully install the plugin. After you have successfully installed the plugin, go back to your project.
To create API manually, Go to the Plugins section, click on "Add Plugins" and search for API Connector by Bubble. Install the API Connector plugin. This will allow us to link the SoundCloud API to our Bubble.io project.
After successful installation of the API Connector plugin, you can see the newly installed API Connector plugin in the Plugins tab of your project. Click on the API Connector plugin.
In the API Connector plugin page, click on the "Add Another API" button. This will add a new API for you to configure. Name the new API as SoundCloud.
Now we'll prepend the credentials from the SoundCloud. Visit the SoundCloud developer page and log in with your credentials. (If you don’t have an account, create one.)
After you have logged in, create a new app to get your client ID and client secret keys.
After you have successfully created your app, copy the client ID and client secret keys and go back to your Bubble.io project.
In Bubble.io, under the API connector settings for SoundCloud, set the authentication to OAuth2 User-Agent Flow. Paste the client ID into the 'Client ID' field and client secret into the 'Client Secret' field. Set the login dialog redirect URL to your Bubble.io project URL.
After you have set up the plugin, the next step is to set up the API calls. In the API connector for SoundCloud, click on the "Add Another Call" button.
This will add a new API call for you to configure. To get the list of tracks from SoundCloud, set the configuration of API call like this, method to GET and the URL to 'https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks'. This is conveniently stated in the SoundCloud API documentation.
Save the settings and back out to your Bubble.io project.
Now you can test the SoundCloud integration in your Bubble.io project. Add a button to your app and use the workflow editor to add an action when the button is clicked.
In the workflow editor, you can use the "Get data from API" action to use the SoundCloud API.
Set the API provider to SoundCloud and choose “Get list of tracks” as the API call.
Now you can run your app and see the tracks from SoundCloud API.
That's it! Now you have successfully integrated SoundCloud API to your Bubble.io project.
