I had a coder working on a Soundcloud scraper in Python. It was mostly working but then it stopped working and we started getting an API 401 Unauthorized error. I believe the issue is not having access to the API key which Soundcloud is no longer allowing for new apps. There are ways to get existing API keys though as described on this website [login to view URL] and there is even a clever person that has made a python script to find Soundcloud API client IDs [login to view URL]
I would like to use that code or similar in my scraper to make it look for vaild API client IDs so that my scraper works/keeps working.
Here are some other websites I found related to the Soundcloud API 401 error and Client ID.

I would also like my code tweaked/optimized. It has the ability to use proxies and it automatically finds free proxies but I would like it to find faster proxies, ideally those in California or other fast USA proxies.
I would also like it to run more instances/webpages to scrape if the CPU usage is low because it scrapes too slow when the proxies are slow compared to my regular fast internet connection so maybe it can be improved by running multiple proxies at once if that is possible? Or multiple instances of the scraper without recording duplicate data from the other instances?
If you think that this is something that you could do, please send me a message and I can send you the existing scraper source code to look over.
