Regex for SoundCloud URL

I just want to match my url with this URL all possible combinations like www without www, http,https

Basically any input URL that matches with soundcloud music url like

https://soundcloud.com/mazz-ika-free/wegz-molotof-dorak-gai-2020

FIRST PART:- https://soundcloud.com/ (http,https)
SECOND PART :- Alphanumeric with only '-' allowed.
THIRD PART :- Aphanumeric with only '-' allowed

I have tried this regex so far : 

/^https?:\/\/(soundcloud\.com|snd\.sc)\/(.*)$/

Please help

According to SoundCloud the following rules apply to links (everything after soundcloud.com):

  • Use only numbers, lowercase letters, underscores, or hyphens.
  • Profile URLs must not start or end with an underscore or hyphen.
  • Profile URLs must not have two consecutive underscores or hyphens.
  • Profile URLs must be between 3 and 25 characters.

I've written a regex pattern for the entire link:

^(?:https?:\/\/)((?:www\.)|(?:m\.))?soundcloud\.com\/[a-z0-9](?!.*?(-|_){2})[\w-]{1,23}[a-z0-9](?:\/.+)?$

Here's a version without all the non-capturing groups:

^https?:\/\/(www\.|m\.)?soundcloud\.com\/[a-z0-9](?!.*?(-|_){2})[\w-]{1,23}[a-z0-9](?:\/.+)?$

You could match either soundcloud.com or snd.sc followed by a repeating pattern matching a / followed by 1+ word chars.

The word chars part by itself also has a repeating part matching a - and 1+ word chars.

If you only want to match alphanumeric, you could use [a-zA-Z0-9] instead of \w which could also match an _

^https?:\/\/(?:soundcloud\.com|snd\.sc)(?:\/\w+(?:-\w+)*)+$

Explanation

  • ^https?:\/\/(?:soundcloud\.com|snd\.sc) Match the protocol and either soundcloud or snd
  • (?: Non capture group
    • \/\w+ Match / and 1+ word chars
    • (?:-\w+)* Repeat 0+ times matching - and 1+ word chars
  • )+ Close group and repeat 1+ times to match at least a single / part
  • $ End of string

One option would be to create a new anchor <a> element from JavaScript, assign the URL to the href attribute, and then check the host property of that anchor:

function checkURL(input) {
    var url = document.createElement('a');
    url.href = input;
    return url.host === "soundcloud.com" || url.host === "snd.sc";
}

console.log(checkURL("https://soundcloud.com/mazzikafree/wegz-molotof-dorak-gai-2020"));
console.log(checkURL("https://snd.sc/mazzikafree/wegz-molotof-dorak-gai-2020"));
console.log(checkURL("http://www.google.com"));

Here, you would be checking that the host is either soundcloud.com or snd.sc.

Try this:

var re = /^(https?:\/\/)?(www\.)?(soundcloud\.com|snd\.sc)\/.*$/

I've tested following:

  1. With and without www
  2. http, https, no http specifier (simply soundcloud.com/mazzikafree/wegz-molotof-dorak-gai-2020)
  3. soundcloud.com or snd.sc

If you require http specifier, then consider using

var re = /^https?:\/\/(www\.)?(soundcloud\.com|snd\.sc)\/.*$/

I think you might have forgotten the backslash before the normal slash char. Try this:

^https?:\/\/(soundcloud.com|snd.sc)\/(.*)$
