Research direction

Start by reviewing the POST /tracks endpoint and the OAuth-scoped request shown in the issue, then determine whether track[sharing] accepts any value beyond private or public. Done means the API behavior and documentation clearly support scheduling publication for a requested date, or explicitly document that it is unavailable.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

enhancement
Endpoint(s):
  • POST /tracks
Scope(s):
  • OAuth
Steps to reproduce:
curl --request POST \
  --url 'https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks?track[title]=trackname&track[asset_data]=@ PATH_TO_A_FILE&track[sharing]=private
Expected behaviour:

I'd like the ability to post a track with the status of schedule so that it can be autopublished on a desired date. Can this be done via the tracks POST endpoint?

Actual behaviour:

Only private or public are valid values for track[sharing]
