Description

Hey guys,
Wondering if it was possible to add the stats endpoints of the Insights dashboard to the partner API.

As SoundCloud doesn't provide a way to invite additional users with different passwords to an account, it is very difficult to share access to insights without compromising the login information.

It would be great to either add those endpoints to the Partner API in order for us to generate a report on their behalf by them authorizing our 1001Tracklists application via the Auth Flow, or alternatively create a new system of adding users with roles to the main SoundCloud account in order for us to log in and view their insights on the dashboard directly.

We would like to include SoundCloud information in our DJ Promo Reports, which has proven difficult due to the above mentioned concerns.
