hi martin
how to scrap likers of a hashtag in a specified location
Firstly, you can ONLY perform searches in SCM that you can perform within soundcloud.com.
Can you perform this search on the website? You can scrape tracks, then scrape the likers. But you cannot apply a location parameter to this search.
You can search for users (username search) with a location option. But then you don't get track genre information.
Soundcloud doesn't permit it. It's one of the other.
Now what you can try is to do the track genre > likers search. Then put a FILTER on the results to include users from a specific location. HOWEVER, this is not ideal as you could end up filtering 99% of results and then causes issues with performing too many requests.
ie if you want 1000 results and you are ignoring 99% of users, you need to scrape 100k results, pull the profile details for each and check the filter. SC won't like you make 100k results as no normal user will ever do this.
for example :
likers hashtag "car" in london?
please help me .... thank you
car? That well know genre
With the above caveat about location added, to perform your search, you need to learn how to use CUSTOM SEARCH / SEARCH BUILDER
Search STEPS:
TRACK SEARCH
LIKERS
Depending on track search (SC allows TAG SEARCH where it just returns the most popular tracks from the genre and the results hardly ever change, in which case you input:
car
Or you can use advanced track search where you can enter
title, genre, upload_date[o], length[o]
where [o] params are optional
input:
a, car, last_week
where 'a' is just a letter to appear in the title of the track as something must be entered.
