Question

I use the script php-soundcloud (Oauth 2) and want to change the title (Buy this track) of purchase link.
I can update the link but I can not change the text of link.

I use this code:

$soundcould->put('https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/56649403', array(
  'track[purchase_url]' => 'http://website.com/', 
  'track[purchase_title]' => 'Support me' // whitout this, it work
));

but it returns me an error: The requested URL responded with HTTP code 422.

When i remove track[purchase_title], it work, so the problem is that variable!

Must be something special to change the link title?
Soundcloud have posed limits on the use of their API?
It’s possible to create a new link other than changing the variable purchase_title?

Answer 1

The reason this is not working is because the purchase_url and purchase_title can only be changed on premium accounts. I’ll look at making this more clear in the docs!

Here’s a code sample that will do the trick for a premium account:

<?php
require_once 'Services/Soundcloud.php';

$client = new Services_Soundcloud('client_id', 'client_secret', 'redirect_uri');
$client->setAccessToken('your-access-token');

$track_url = 'https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/52652023.json';
$response = json_decode($client->put($track_url, array(
  'track[purchase_url]' => 'http://website.com',
  'track[purchase_title]' => 'Support me'
)));
?>

If that doesn’t work, the problem is elsewhere. Email me and I can help you debug further.
