xbox-webapi-ex 1.1.9

A library to authenticate with Windows Live/Xbox Live and use their API

Xbox-WebAPI-EX

Xbox-WebAPI is a python library to authenticate with Xbox Live via your Microsoft Account and provides Xbox related Web-API.

Authentication via credentials or tokens is supported, Two-Factor-Authentication ( 2FA ) is also possible.

Dependencies

• Python >= 3.5
• Libraries: requests, demjson, appdirs, urwid

How to use

Install:

pip install xbox-webapi-ex

Authentication:

# Token save location: If tokenfile is not provided via cmdline, fallback
# of <appdirs.user_data_dir>/tokens.json is used as save-location
#
# Specifically:
# Windows: C:\\Users\\<username>\\AppData\\Local\\OpenXbox\\xbox
# Mac OSX: /Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/xbox/tokens.json
# Linux: /home/<username>/.local/share/xbox
#
# For more information, see: https://pypi.org/project/appdirs and module: xbox.webapi.scripts.constants

xbox-authenticate --tokens tokens.json --email [e-mail] --password abc123

# NOTE: If no credentials are provided via cmdline, they are requested from stdin
xbox-authenticate --tokens tokens.json

# If you have a shell compatible with ncurses, you can use the Terminal UI app
xbox-auth-ui --tokens tokens.json

Fallback Authentication:

# In case this authentication flow breaks or you do not trust the code with your credentials..
# Open the following URL in your web-browser and authenticate
https://login.live.com/oauth20_authorize.srf?display=touch&scope=service%3A%3Auser.auth.xboxlive.com%3A%3AMBI_SSL&redirect_uri=https%3A%2F%2Flogin.live.com%2Foauth20_desktop.srf&locale=en&response_type=token&client_id=0000000048093EE3

# Once you finished auth and reached a blank page, copy the redirect url from your browser address-field
# Execute the script with supplied redirect url
xbox-auth-via-browser 'https://login.live.com/oauth20_desktop.srf?...access_token=...&refresh_token=...'

Example: Search Xbox Live via cmdline tool:

# Search Xbox One Catalog
xbox-searchlive --tokens tokens.json "Some game title"

# Search Xbox 360 Catalog
xbox-searchlive --tokens tokens.json -l "Some game title"

API usage:

import sys

from xbox.webapi.api.client import XboxLiveClient
from xbox.webapi.authentication.manager import AuthenticationManager
from xbox.webapi.common.exceptions import AuthenticationException

"""
For doing authentication in code, see xbox/webapi/scripts/authenticate.py
or for OAUTH via web-brower, see xbox/webapi/scripts/browserauth.py
"""

try:
  auth_mgr = AuthenticationManager.from_file('/path_to/tokens.json')
except FileNotFoundError as e:
  print(
    'Failed to load tokens from \'{}\'.\n'
    'ERROR: {}'.format(e.filename, e.strerror)
  )
  sys.exit(-1)

try:
  auth_mgr.authenticate(do_refresh=True)
except AuthenticationException as e:
  print('Authentication failed! Err: %s' % e)
  sys.exit(-1)

xbl_client = XboxLiveClient(auth_mgr.userinfo.userhash, auth_mgr.xsts_token.jwt, auth_mgr.userinfo.xuid)

# Some example API calls

# Get friendslist
friendslist = xbl_client.people.get_friends_own()

# Get presence status (by list of XUID)
presence = xbl_client.presence.get_presence_batch([12344567687845, 453486346235151])

# Get messages
messages = xbl_client.message.get_message_inbox()

# Get profile by GT
profile = xbl_client.profile.get_profile_by_gamertag('SomeGamertag')
