I am using the SoundCloud API and I've noticed a difference between the number of likes on the website and the number of likes given by the API.

For example:

HTTPResponse resptest = wrapper.get(Request.to("/users/4132982/favorites?limit=200");

gives 133 likes. The soundcloud public profile for that user has 141 likes. Does anybody have an idea of what the problem is?

Agreed that this is strange. I wasn't able to reproduce this on my personal account. I did find two additional behaviors I didn't expect 1) favorited private tracks are included in this number and 2) deleted tracks are included with no way to undo it. – osowskit Sep 07 '15 at 21:25
Could it have something to do with vote fuzzing? I am unfamilar with soundcloud and if the likes have any weight on anything. – Ian Jun 21 '16 at 23:40
Given SoundCloud's troubles, this question could be moot soon. – Brian Risk Jul 17 '17 at 14:20
