# SoundCloud ## Backend class For Django, add this class path to `AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS`. For other integrations, use the same class path in the framework-specific backend setting. | Backend name | Class path | |----------------|----------------------------------------------------| | `soundcloud` | `social_core.backends.soundcloud.SoundcloudOAuth2` | SoundCloud uses OAuth2 for its auth mechanism. - Register a new application at [SoundCloud App Registration](http://soundcloud.com/you/apps/new), set your application name, website and redirect URI. - Fill `Client Id` and `Client Secret` values in the settings: ```default SOCIAL_AUTH_SOUNDCLOUD_KEY = '' SOCIAL_AUTH_SOUNDCLOUD_SECRET = '' ``` - Also it’s possible to define extra permissions with: ```default SOCIAL_AUTH_SOUNDCLOUD_SCOPE = [...] ``` Possible scope values are \* or non-expiring according to their [/connect documentation](http://developers.soundcloud.com/docs/api/reference#connect). Check the rest of their doc at [SoundCloud Developer Documentation](http://developers.soundcloud.com/docs).
