Re: [SoundCloudAPI: 1477] is there a more efficient way of testing for favorited/following?

[SoundCloud API Support]

Hi candytunes,

as i've explained in another answer to one of your many posts (side
note: could you avoid asking the same question in more than one place?
:) ), the best way is to append the user-id you want to check to
'/tracks/{track-id}/favoriters', and inspect the response's status
code:

'/tracks/{track-id}/favoriters/{user-id}'

as documented here[1]
