Blaze TV Endpoints

[stevepen1974]

Trying to write first Devine service for : https://watch.blaze.tv/series

Using http toolkit I have found what I believe is correct:

headers:

User-Agent: Dalvik/2.1.0 (Linux; U; Android 12; SM-A226B Build/SP1A.210812.016)
Host: api.simplestreamcdn.com
Connection: keep-alive


endpoints:

base: https://cpmv2.blaze.tv

playback:

https://api.simplestreamcdn.com/analytics/v1/company_dfb49925-a12f-11eb-bc19-06b69c2357cd/analytics {id}

Thought I would start first with my Devine Service by trying to retrieve meta-data.

I cannot find the path/query to the host base endpoint ( if correct) for https://cpmv2.blaze.tv

Trying to obtain meta-data for :

https://watch.blaze.tv/shows/9e51776c-baf5-11ea-9b31-0626f8704156/flipping-bangers

Not sure if this part is hidden, if anyone could explain/show how to find this info it would be much appreciated.

Cheers

Steve

it looks like the series and episode information is in the main html response "https://watch.blaze.tv/shows/9e51776c-baf5-11ea-9b31-0626f8704156/flipping-bangers" so you could parse it out of the html.

if i was going to do it, id install the android app to an emulator and use http toolkit to intercept all the requests and replicate it that way.

eg. this is the url to get all the series and episode details in json format (which uses the uuid from the main url)

https://v6-metadata-cf.simplestreamcdn.com/api/series/9e51776c-baf5-11ea-9b31-0626f8704156?key=6Pr3Uj2Fo3Ix7Rb9Ze9Ro4Ez2Eq7Sy&cc=GB&lang=en&platform=android

if you parse the response and extract the episode id that you want, then you send a request to

https://v2-streams-elb.simplestreamcdn.com/api/replay/stream/574293?platform=android&key=6Pr3Uj2Fo3Ix7Rb9Ze9Ro4Ez2Eq7Sy&cc=GB&lang=en&platform=android

where 574293 is the episode id.
the response to that has the m3u8 url which is unencrypted.
the api key in the requests (6Pr3Uj2Fo3Ix7Rb9Ze9Ro4Ez2Eq7Sy) looks to be the same one for both browser and android and it can be found in the html request, so you could parse that in case it changes.

Many thanks Elcap, very useful info to learn how this all works.

Cannot seem to fetch metadata using the command :

devine -d dl --list-titles BLAZ 9e51776c

Using:

def get_titles(self) -> Titles_T:

headers = {
'User-Agent': 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:128.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/128.0',
'Accept': 'application/json, text/plain, */*',
'Accept-Language': 'en-GB,en;q=0.5',

}


series_metadata = self.session.get(url=f'https://v6-metadata-cf.simplestreamcdn.com/api/series{self.title}-baf5-11ea-9b31-0626f8704156?key=6Pr3Uj2Fo3Ix7Rb9Ze9Ro4Ez2Eq7Sy&cc =GB&lang=en&platform=android', headers=headers).json()

season_ids = []

for season in series_metadata['data']:
season_ids.append(season['id'])

episodes = []

for season in season_ids:
season_metadata = self.session.get(url=f'https://v6-metadata-cf.simplestreamcdn.com/api/series/{season}', headers=headers).json()
for episode in season_metadata['data']:
episodes.append(Episode(
id_=episode['id'],
service=self.__class__,
title=season_metadata['collection']['tvShow']['title'],
season=episode['tvShowSeason']['season']['number'],
number=episode['episode']['number'],
name=episode['title'],
year=episode['releaseDate'][:4],
language="en",
data={'playbackUrl': episode['video']['playback']}
))

return Series(episodes)

If anyone can advise of correct way to obtain metatdata.

Appreciate structure of series/episodes menu is incorrect, just trying to load json response and learn how all this works.

Only ever ran scripts before, so coding is completely new to me.

Thanks

!! A big ask then.
