SoundCloud is updating its API to replace numeric id fields with string-based urn identifiers due to limitations with 32-bit integer values. The id field is deprecated immediately, and developers must transition their integrations to use the urn field by June 30, 2025, to avoid degraded service. The urn provides a stable method to address resources like tracks, playlists, and comments.
