title: Soundcloud Authentication and API
body: <p>I am new to soundcloud. I have done my research but the soundcloud documentation is lacking severely.</p>
  
  <p>I am trying to understand the API. If anyone can help answer the following questions it would be helpful.</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li><p>Can I access my tracks through the JavaScript API and retrieve JUST the titles of the tracks?</p></li>
  <li><p>Where do I get my "User ID" from?</p></li>
  <li><p>I have created an app. Is the Redirect URI mandatory?</p></li>
  <li><p>I have tried to use the following <a href="https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks?client_id=MY_CLIENT_ID" rel="noreferrer">https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks?client_id=MY_CLIENT_ID</a>. I get some other members information. And yes I replaced MY_CLIENT_ID with the client_id from my new app.</p></li>
  <li><p>I have tried to use <a href="https://api.soundcloud.com/oauth2/token?client_id=xxx&amp;client_secret=xxx&amp;grant_type=password&amp;username=xxx&amp;password=xxx" rel="noreferrer">https://api.soundcloud.com/oauth2/token?client_id=xxx&amp;client_secret=xxx&amp;grant_type=password&amp;username=xxx&amp;password=xxx</a> (with my app client_id, client_secret, username &amp; password and I get a 404...not sure why.</p></li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>Any response to put me in the right direction would be great. Thanks!</p>
