How to use

Run the following:

npm install tidalapi

Obtain the Tidal token needed to use this API

As well as a TIDAL username and password, the Tidal API needs an API token which is unique to your apps. You can get this token by network-sniffing some application that uses TIDAL Playback feature, like Tidal for Windows, Tidal for Android, or CapTune from Sennheiser.

Obtaining a token from TIDAL for Windows

• Install Fiddler and start it.
• In Fiddler, click Tools > Options > Decrypt HTTPS Traffic
• Install TIDAL for Windows and start it
• In Fiddler, look for requests to api.tidal.com. Click a request, then on the right, click Inspectors > Headers. Underneath Miscellaneous you'll see X-Tidal-Token. This is a TIDAL Token you can use.
