xbox-webapi 2.0.0

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

Xbox-WebAPI

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

Authentication is supported via OAuth2.

• Register a new application in Azure AD
  • Name your app
  • Select "Personal Microsoft accounts only" under supported account types
  • Add http://localhost/auth/callback as a Redirect URI of type "Web"
• Copy your Application (client) ID for later use
• On the App Page, navigate to "Certificates & secrets"
  • Generate a new client secret and save for later use

Dependencies

• Python >= 3.6
• Libraries: aiohttp, appdirs, ms_cv, pydantic, urwid, yarl, ecdsa

How to use

Install

pip install xbox-webapi

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 --client-id <client-id> --client-secret <client-secret>

Example: Search Xbox Live via cmdline tool

  # Search Xbox One Catalog
  xbox-searchlive "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, see xbox/webapi/scripts/authenticate.py
"""
tokens = "/path_to/tokens.json"
async with ClientSession() as session:
  auth_mgr = AuthenticationManager(
      session, args.client_id, args.client_secret, ""
  )

  with open(args.tokens, mode="r") as f:
      tokens = f.read()
  auth_mgr.oauth = OAuth2TokenResponse.parse_raw(tokens)
  try:
      await auth_mgr.refresh_tokens()
  except ClientResponseError:
      print("Could not refresh tokens")
      sys.exit(-1)

  with open(args.tokens, mode="w") as f:
      f.write(auth_mgr.oauth.json())

  xbl_client = XboxLiveClient(auth_mgr)

  # Some example API calls

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

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

  # Get messages
  messages = await xbl_client.message.get_inbox()

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