Your API returns a different play_count than what you show on your website.
Website example:
https://soundcloud.com/esbee/aleah-water-and-wine-stefan-biniak-private-edit-remastered
Play Number: 10.2k
API Example:
[ https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/260065214?client_id=removed
"playback_count": 1132
This is a factor of 10.
Could you take a look at him or am I missing something?
You can use their v2 api: https://api-v2.soundcloud.com/tracks/260065214?client_id=ADD_YOURS Which lists the play counter with the correct 10300 +
However, there seems to be no documentation about this.
