Login

Here is an example of how you can login in a more advanced way, the login is a bit complicated since people use tidalapi in lots of different ways.

See tidalapi.session for additional information about the available fields and functions

Customizable login

This will use a desktop notification to show the link used for logging in, you can also open the browser directly, display the code and tell the user to visit link.tidal.com and enter it, write it to a file, or send an email.

See tidalapi.session.LinkLogin for the fields you can use to print the link

from plyer import notification

login, future = session.login_oauth()

notification.notify("Open the URL to log in", login.verification_uri_complete)

future.result()
print(session.check_login())

Simple login

This will print the link, and then wait for the login future to complete, but it’s not very flexible

# The function is print by default, but you can use anything, here we do it to avoid the print being swallowed
session.login_oauth_simple(fn_print=printer)
print(session.check_login())

Storing login credentials

In order to store the login details, you need to store these variables in a secure place

token_type = session.token_type
access_token = session.access_token
refresh_token = session.refresh_token # Not needed if you don't care about refreshing
expiry_time = session.expiry_time

Loading login credentials

Using the variables from the above snippet, we can login using stored credentials. This could for example be used to login on your computer, and then load the credentials in the cloud.

print(session.load_oauth_session(token_type, access_token, refresh_token, expiry_time))
