Question

I’m using the Javascript SDK inside a node.js (Express) App.

Connecting Users works fine, but the connection does not persist between page reloads.
Is this the default behaviour, or is the User supposed to stay connected in new requests?

Do I have to use OAuth token authentication and if so, how can this be done with the JS-SDK?
Inside the “Permission”-Popup, Users are already logged in with soundlcoud, though.
(just have to click the “connect” button each time)

Yep, this is the way to do it, officially. 🙂

For the Next SoundCloud site, we store the token in localStorage (until the user logs out, of course). In each AJAX request to the API from the front end, we put the oauth token in a request header:

jqXHR.setRequestHeader('Authorization', 'OAuth ' + the_oauth_token);
