## Configuration
32+
33+
Since soundcloud apply rate limit to third party app you need to configure your own API key to make soundnode work.
34+
35+
Unfortunatly soundcloud suspended new application creation, so to retrieve your api key, you have to dig into soundcloud website.
36+
37+
* Login to soundcloud.com on favorite browser
38+
* Look for and api call and write down the client_id parameter

* Edit your userConfig.json file (see here for location : https://github.com/eliecharra/soundnode-app/blob/master/app/public/js/common/configLocation.js#L34) and update clientId parameter with the previously retrieved one.
