Is it possible to get the track list from a specific user via the soundcloud API WITHOUT requiring that specific user to authenticate?

I'm looking for something like the YouTube feeds you can get here: https://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/users/mrromandiaz/uploads?max-results=10 (I've pointed this at my account, but the username "mrromandiaz" can be replaced with any username to retrieve that user's videos...

Question is, does Soundcloud offer anything similar? I don't need to authenticate, or post, or upload, or control anything... just get user's track lists to show on their profiles, without resorting to the default player.

Yep, the API endpoint is at /users/{user_id}/tracks. If you don't have the user id, but only their username (permalink), you can use the /resolve endpoint to get the user data, including their id.

Documentation here: user resource and here resolve.
