Create Accounts

../images/create_accounts.png

Soundcloud Manager can attempt to create Soundcloud accounts. There are two methods, either automating an actual browser, or sending the raw HTTP requests to Soundcloud. You can toggle this with the: Use Browser automation for sigup option

NOTE:
Soundcloud is using Googles Recaptcha v2 (image match) captcha if it detects you using a proxy (which it will detect due to IP ranges. This captcha is solvable automatically, but you must sign up to 2captcha

In order to create accounts, you will need to provide the proxies to use for your signup attempts.

NOTE: Public proxies are not recommended. Soundcloud is more strict these days and blocks lots of known proxies. You can try, but expect many failures before any succeed. Even then, the Google recaptcha v2 may refuse to work with known public proxies. This is not a fault of the application but of using low quality / slow proxies

The search and create playlist module can search for tracks and add them to a playlist on your account. When you create a playlist, it is syndicated to your followers who will see it in their streams, but as well, if you are one of the first three playlists to include a track, your playlist will appear on the track page. Thus if you can be one of the first to playlist a track by a major artist, your playlist is visible to 1000s of users!

Plays and Downloads

../images/soundcloud_plays_and_downloads.png

The Plays and download tab allows you to boost any track by the specified number of plays. A track play will be routed through a proxy. A proxy is just a remote internet connected computer you can control to perform network requests. The proxy hides your request, so it appears to come from the proxy and not your local machine. The reason we do this is, if Soundcloud saw you playing the same track 1000 times it would not count them in your statistics.

Regarding proxies. There is general information on the forum

Custom Search / Search Builder

../images/custom_search.png

The custom search builder module allows you to build a search where the results of the previous stage will feed back into the search for the next stage. Lets have an example.

../images/custom_search_eg.png

In the above example, we are performing the following search

  1. Scrape followers of
  2. Scrape latest track of each follower
  3. Scrape all interactions of the latest track of each follower
NOTE:
Do be aware that if you are building very complex searches, then this can require lots of requests to the site, which may cause a limiting of the requests you can perform. This likelihood can be increased if you are also performing a filter. There are some ways to try and avoid this, namely setting a random pause after each page of search results are pulled. Also, by providing the specific number of results for each step can help.
