Fetching multiple tracks by ID

Fetching multiple tracks by ID

Attempting to query the search endpoint https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks?ids=1,2,3.
I would like to be able to fetch multiple songs (which do not share a common query string) by their IDs in a single request rather than iteratively calling the /tracks/{trackId} endpoint for each track. This would make the process much easier without spamming the API with repeated calls.

Current Behavior: querying /tracks?ids=1,2,3 returns an empty collection.
Desired Behavior: returns all tracks with specified ID in one collection.

Hi,

I actually investigated this on a previous issue: #286 (comment)

Would love for it to be solved at some point, but the issue was closed sadly after a user offered up an irrelevant solution and the tracker was closed for it.

The TL;DR:

It works (ish), but you have to request 10 or more tracks in one request (or at least that was the case when I was investigating a few months ago! However, some tracks were still oddly missing from the request.

the fix should be rolled out within the hour

note: please use urns not ids.
Both should work (not combined ;)) but we removed id from the docs already instead of just deprecating
