I have an android app using SoundCloud API. Some of my users complaining about connection issues. Is there a quota limit?
Yes, there is.
https://developers.soundcloud.com/docs/api/terms-of-use#quotas
But it doesn't tell us the exact number:
We reserve the right, at our discretion, to impose restrictions and limitations on the number and frequency of calls made by your app to the SoundCloud® API. You must not attempt to circumvent any restrictions or limitations that we impose.
As commented by Arsalan, here is more information:
https://developers.soundcloud.com/docs/api/rate-limits#errors
Rate Limits
All rate limits on the SoundCloud API are currently calculated against a client application's client id.
Global Rate Limit
We currently do not enforce any limit on the total number of calls made by a client application in aggregate.
Rate Limit on Play Requests
Effective July 1, all requests that result in access to a playable stream are subject to a limit of 15,000 requests per any 24-hour time window. Currently, this is inclusive of all requests that are made to /tracks/:id/stream.
After a previous time window has expired, a new time window starts from the first request made.
The majority of SoundCloud API rate limits are in the form of 24-hour time windows.
