Authenticating without the Soundcloud Connect Screen: 

If you simply need an access token for testing, and do not want to go through the connect flow, or if you have one central account your app needs to access, you can use the OAuth User Credentials Flow. An example of this kind of app would be an artist's website where you'll only be using a single SoundCloud account for the artists sets, user information and sounds. In these cases you may exchange a set of user credentials for an access token.

1. Register your application

Soundcloud

2. Gemfile: 

gem 'soundcloud'

3. Run ‘bundle install’

4. Controller: 

require 'soundcloud'

class HomeController < ApplicationController

  def index

  @client = Soundcloud.new(:client_id => "client_id goes here",

  :client_secret => 'client_secret goes here',

                        :username => 'username (email) goes here',

                        :password => 'password goes here')

  end

end

5. View (shows username): 

<%= @client.get('/me').username %>

6. View (shows 10 hottest tracks): 

<% @client.get('/tracks', :limit => 10, :order => 'hotness').each do |track| %>

  <%= track.permalink_url %>
