Description

Is there a parameter to get the full sized artwork when embedding a playlist? By default, a request to api.soundcloud.com/playlists/ returns artwork with 500x500 resolution.

Example with imaginary parameter "artwork_resolution":

<iframe 
 width="30%" 
 height="500" 
 scrolling="no" 
 frameborder="no"
 allow="autoplay"
 src="https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/playlists/1445109625&color=%23ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false&show_teaser=true&visual=true&artwork_resolution=3000">
</iframe>

Research direction

Start with the api.soundcloud.com/playlists/1445109625 endpoint and the w.soundcloud.com/player iframe URL shown in the issue. Determine whether a full-resolution artwork parameter is supported or needs API and embed-player design; done means the behavior is confirmed and documented or the requested support is clearly specified.
