  1. Delete your cookies for Soundcloud.
  2. Go to Soundcloud.
  3. Open the Inspect tool (F12 on most browsers).
  4. Go to the page Network on the inspect terminal.
  5. Login.
  6. Search for auth.
  7. In one of the requests you will find the client_id
  8. And for the OAuth token we need the oauth_token cookie on the soundcloud.com domain prepended with "OAuth "

client_id: string of 32 bytes alphanumeric oauth_token: string inside the cookie value
