The results.

Where the data lands.

The AI processes the links and organizes the results into these formats.

DATA

Structured track lists

The AI pulls names, artists, and metadata into a clean format. You can drop this directly into a CSV or a database.

MEDIA

Direct stream links

The agent finds the actual stream URLs for the tracks. This makes it easy to feed audio into other tools or players.

LOGS

Audit trails

Every link processed is logged. You'll have a clear record of which SoundCloud URLs were successfully resolved.

HUMAN

Manual review

You decide which tracks are worth keeping. The AI identifies the data, but you make the final call on the selection.

The workflow

What your AI does when a link arrives.

The AI follows a specific path to turn a URL into usable information.

  1. Resolve the URL

    The agent takes a raw SoundCloud link and confirms it points to a valid track. This ensures the subsequent steps don't fail on broken links.

    resolve_url

  2. Fetch stream data

    Once the link is confirmed, the AI pulls the direct stream URL. This allows you to access the audio source directly.

    get_track_stream

  3. Extract metadata

    The AI reads the track details like artist name and title. It organizes this info so it's easy to read.

    resolve_url

  4. Format output

    The agent prepares the final data package. It presents the track info and stream links in the way you requested.
