Mixcloud API
The TrueScrape Mixcloud API exposes 8 public endpoints covering Profile, Search, Popular uploads for a tag, Upload details and Upload comments. Every call is a GET against public, logged-out pages and returns the same unified schema as every other platform here. Calls cost 1 credit each. A cache hit is free, and a failed or empty response is never charged.

Questions
- How much does the Mixcloud API cost?
- Calls cost 1 credit each. Every endpoint is cacheable, and a cache hit costs nothing. A failed request and an empty result are both free, on every endpoint.
- Does the Mixcloud API need a login or cookies?
- No. Every endpoint reads public, logged-out pages only — no account, no cookies, no session. An API key identifies your own TrueScrape account and nothing else.
- Can I fetch many Mixcloud targets in one request?
- Yes. 7 of 8 are batchable: one POST to /v1/jobs/batch takes many targets and returns a job id to poll.
- Can I watch Mixcloud endpoints for changes?
- Yes, 4 of 8. A subscription polls on your schedule and fires your webhook only when the content changed; the rest carry x-subscribable: false in the spec.
