Title: Cannot Auth to use POST tracks path

Issue found of: September 20th, 2020

Endpoint(s):

• GET /users/{id}/tracks

Scope(s):

• none

Steps to reproduce:

Using this URL - https://soundcloud.com/connect?client_id={client_id}&redirect_uri={redirect_uri}&response_type=code"

But I get the error - "Oh no! We can’t find that page. Check the address and try again?" after clicking connect

Hey Hannah, what are you trying to achieve here? As I see GET /users/{id}/tracks and in the steps to reproduce the call is for connect endpoint? Also the host on the connect URL is wrong, it should be secure.soundcloud.com for authentication URLs and api.soundcloud.com for other functions

Hello @youssefhassan

I have this working now but am having trouble setting this up in js. Are there any examples of post tracks using a js application?

Thanks,

[youssefhassan]

This is an example of a CURL request

curl -v -X 'POST' \
  'https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks' \
  -H 'accept: application/json; charset=utf-8' \
  -H 'Authorization: VALID_TOKEN' \
  -H 'Content-Type: multipart/form-data' \
  -F 'track[sharing]=private' \
  -F 'track[asset_data][email protected]' \
  -F 'track[title]=TTTT' 

This is an example from a Python method too
`def upload_track(self):
url = f"{self.base_url}/tracks"
copy = self.headers.copy()
copy.update({'accept': 'application/json; charset=utf-8'})

    # Define the parameters as a dictionary
    params = {
        'track[sharing]': 'private',
        'track[title]': 'Test Track from Python',
    }

    # Open and read the file
    file_path = 'path/track_name.mp3'  
    with open(file_path, 'rb') as file:
        # Prepare the file parameter
        files = {'track[asset_data]': ('test', file, 'type=audio/x-m4a')}

        # Make the POST request with file and params
        response = requests.post(url, headers=copy, files=files, data=params)
        # print(curlify.to_curl(response.request))
    if response.status_code != 201:
        return [None, response.status_code]
    return [response.json()['id'], response.status_code]`
