Soundcloud API Likes Endpoint issue?

christopherittoku opened this issue · comments

I was trying to download the likes of a user who has 600+ likes. Unfortunately, it only downloaded 45 of them.
Similarly tried with others with 200+ likes, but only a fraction would download.

I played with the code, and for some reason the API only retrieves an odd selection of recently liked tracks well under the limit without a next_href link to continue the download.
I've scoured the internet for an answer and haven't been able to figure out the issue. The same issue on stack overflow detailed the same issue, however the answer is useless and doesn't work:

Cheers.

Unfortunately, the SoundCloud API is very lacking. SoundScrape does the best job it could to get the tracks. It seems that SoundCloud is working on a new API (since they've locked the ability to get new API keys for the current API). But there is no news about this API yet.
