# SoundCloud

Search SoundCloud's uploads — title, artist, genre, duration, play and like counts, artwork, and the track's page.

- Method: `GET`
- Path: `/v1/music/soundcloud/search`

**Parameters**

| Name | Type | | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `q` | string | required | Search terms. |
| `limit` | integer | optional | Tracks per page, 1 to 50. |
| `max_age` | integer (seconds) | optional | Ask for data no older than this. Clamped to the product's own floor, so it can narrow the window but never force a refresh on every call. |

**Example request**

```bash
curl https://api.diraz.ae/v1/music/soundcloud/search \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer drz_live_…"
```
