I have read the soundcloud's sdk documentation for iOS and it doesn't seem to say anything about searching for songs, though it talked about listing tracks from an existing soundcloud user. So are there any resources out there or examples ? Thanks a million !

Our API gives you the ability to upload, manage and share tracks. Your app can take an audio file and upload it to a user's SoundCloud account. You can also manage metadata (including tags) or add the track to playlists.
You don't generate it on yourself, you get it from the SoundCloud API. You have first to authorize with your client_id, client_secret and a redirect_url then in the redirect_url (which the soundcloud server will call it should be some script on your server) you can get the token from the GET parameter "code".
You need to get your client_id and client_secret by registering your app here. After you have obtained that, you can start using the API. Basically, most of the calls will look like this one: final SoundCloud api = new SoundCloud.
You have to use this format:
https://api.soundcloud.com/me/tracks?q=SEARCHTEXT&format=json
Just remember, if the user enters a space, you have to replace it with %20, you can achieve this by
NSString *search = [originalSearch stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@" " withString:@"%20"];
Then, just request the JSON data like this:
[SCRequest performMethod:SCRequestMethodGET onResource:[NSURL URLWithString:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"https://api.soundcloud.com/me/tracks?q=%@&format=json", search]] usingParameters:nil withAccount:[SCSoundCloud account] sendingProgressHandler:nil responseHandler:^(NSURLResponse *response, NSData *data, NSError *error) {
My final code looks like this:
NSString *search = [searchBar.text stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@" " withString:@"%20"];
[SCRequest performMethod:SCRequestMethodGET onResource:[NSURL URLWithString:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"https://api.soundcloud.com/me/tracks?q=%@&format=json", search]] usingParameters:nil withAccount:[SCSoundCloud account] sendingProgressHandler:nil responseHandler:^(NSURLResponse *response, NSData *data, NSError *error) {
NSError *jsonError;
NSJSONSerialization *jsonResponse = [NSJSONSerialization JSONObjectWithData:data options:0 error:&jsonError];
if (!jsonError && [jsonResponse isKindOfClass:[NSArray class]]) {
self.searchQuery = (NSArray *)jsonResponse;
[self.tableView reloadData];
}
else {
NSLog(@"%@", error.localizedDescription);
}
}];`
I hope this helped!
