Simple things should be easy.

Just choose a URL and type in a script. No servers, no deployment, no hassle.

Real, working examples

Webscripts are short scripts, written in Lua, that run on our servers. They can respond to HTTP requests or run as cron jobs.

Integrating the WebScript System with SoundCloud API

A leading online music streaming site, SoundCloud is the place to be for anyone serious about making a presence in the music industry. SoundCloud allows users to upload original content and share them across platforms with little or no programming expertise. One way in which this becomes possible is through API adaptations.

How Does the SoundCloud API work across the WebScript?

WebScript refers to a scripting language processing Web files. It lets programmers manipulate both backend and front-end elements to integrate popular programming technologies like Java and Tcl at no extra cost. Features like pipe and threads simplify and quicken the task of creating Web applications.

  • The SoundCloud API makes most of the features from SoundCloud.com available to app developers.
  • A registered SoundCloud user can share their SoundCloud API code and thus add visibility to any hardcoded client ID.
  • Unique API keys are sent out on request approval, and these can be entered into music blocks to lead back to the content uploaded.

The embedded music block can be shared using WebScript into various music applications to reach a bigger target audience. This generates real-time SoundCloud Plays from multiple applications and brings more engagement to the user’s SoundCloud profile.

You can further boost the number of SoundCloud plays you receive in real-time by investing in SocialsUp service to monetize your files organically. You can choose from an array of customized real-time packages from such trusted service providers to promote your account.

What Does SoundCloud’s Integration with WebScript Do?

SoundCloud has a request limit set up for its API to filter out unscrupulous and fake traffic. This does not, however, affect your user account or your embedded tracks.

By requesting your API keys, you can embed them into apps that will further ring in benefits like:

  • Enable shuffling your uploaded sound files to promote audience growth for new and old files organically.
  • Enable listeners without a SoundCloud account stream and add real time SoundCloud plays on your tracks.
  • You can audio share and record directly into iOS, Android, and web apps.
  • Create browser compatibility for streaming SoundCloud.
  • Make your files compatible with visual music players.

In other words, you can take your music literally all over the internet with this integration!

Why Webscript?

App Backends

Webscripts respond to HTTP requests, making them easy to call from web and mobile apps.

Webscripts have all the features you need, like password hashing and persistent storage, plus the full programmability of Lua.


Webhook Targets

Many developer tools, such as GitHub and Stripe, offer webhooks as a way of delivering notifications.

Webscripts are a fast and easy way to receive those webhooks. Our built-in request logging makes them equally easy to debug on-the-fly.


QR Code Generator Connection

Webscript, with its flexibility in responding to HTTP requests, can seamlessly integrate with a QR generator. By leveraging this combination, one could effortlessly create dynamic QR codes linked to various actions, making it a powerful toolset for modern developers and marketers.

This integration could transform the way QR codes function, enhancing their versatility and interactivity.


Cron Jobs

Webscripts can also be activated on a schedule, providing a simple way to build monitoring or other automation.
