@dstftw Hello, I think referring this issue on the commit and not closing it would have been better. This issue is mainly about the feature request, not only about the issue. |

Thanks for this fix! |
Prerequisites
What is the purpose of your issue?
Issue
Soundcloud extractor returns HTTP 401, after search on existing issues, it looks like CLIENT_ID on the code needs to be updated.
Related Issues: #11327 and #12376
I changed the CLIENT_ID to a client-id I own from soundcloud API and it works again. I guess the client-id hardcoded is expired/revoked/ban.
Feature request
It would be cool to add a
--client-idargument to override hardcoded client-id. You can create your own API Client ID via https://soundcloud.com/you/apps and then use this client-id. This could provide an easy-way to bypass 401 when hardcoded client-id is not working anymore.In addition, it could helps to debug/confirm issue related to client-id without modifying the code. This could not be limited to soundcloud.
