Mixcloud Cloudcast API returns the full public record of one Mixcloud cloudcast (show/mix): name, description in HTML and plain text, username, duration in seconds, play count, favorite count, repost count, comment count, listener count, created time, public url, tags (slug and name), and pictures (width, height and url). Counts are omitted when the owner hides stats. Stream and audio download URLs are never returned. An unknown cloudcast key returns a non-billable 404.
