# Mixcloud Search API Documentation

<p><strong>Mixcloud Search API</strong> returns cloudcast (show/mix) search results from Mixcloud as JSON. Each result carries the cloudcast key, name, username, public url, play count, favorite count, and created time. Results are paginated with offset-based paging. A valid empty result is a successful response. Play and favorite counts are omitted for cloudcasts whose owner hides stats.</p>
