DAZN API Reference

Technical reference for the DAZN APIs used by this panel, derived from the Kodi plugin (plugin.video.dazn v1.4.27) and live-traffic analysis.

Endpoint Discovery

All API URLs are resolved dynamically from the DAZN startup endpoint. Never hardcode API paths — they change across regions and versions.

Startup

GET https://startup.core.indazn.com/v1/main/web
    ?Platform=web
    &LandingPageKey=generic
    &Brand=dazn

Response (truncated):

{
  "Region": {
    "Country": "it",
    "Language": "it",
    "isAllowed": true,
    "CountryPortabilityStatus": "NotApplicable"
  },
  "ServiceDictionary": {
    "Playback": {
      "Versions": {
        "5": { "ServicePath": "https://api.playback.indazn.com/v5/Playback" },
        "6": { "ServicePath": "https://api.playback.indazn.com/v6/Playback" }
      }
    },
    "EpgWithDateRange": {
      "Versions": {
        "6": { "ServicePath": "https://epg.discovery.indazn.com/eu/v6/epgWithDatesRange" }
      }
    },
    "SignIn": { ... },
    "RefreshAccessToken": { ... },
    "Rail": { ... },
    "Rails": { ... }
  }
}

The panel picks the newest version whose ServicePath is reachable (HTTP status != 404) and caches the result in api_endpoints.json.

Playback

Get Stream Details

GET {api_endpoint_playback}
    ?AssetId=abc123def456
    &PlayerId=@dazn/peng-html5-core/web/web
    &DrmType=WIDEVINE
    &Platform=web
    &Format=MPEG-DASH
    &LanguageCode=it
    &Model=unknown
    &Secure=true
    &Manufacturer=unknown
    &PlayReadyInitiator=false
    &Capabilities=mta
    &MtaLanguageCode=it
    &AppVersion=0.104.0

Authorization: Bearer {token}

Response:

{
  "PlaybackDetails": [
    {
      "ManifestUrl": "https://dca-fs-live-dazn-cdn.dazn.com/.../stream.mpd?channel=...",
      "LaUrl": "https://drm.playback.indazn.com/widevine/v1/license?...",
      "CdnName": "dca-fs-live",
      "CdnToken": {
        "Name": "hdnts",
        "Value": "exp=...~acl=...~hmac=..."
      }
    },
    {
      "ManifestUrl": "https://dcb-ak-livedazn.akamaized.net/.../stream.mpd?...",
      "LaUrl": "https://drm.playback.indazn.com/widevine/v1/license?...",
      "CdnName": "dcb-ak-live",
      "CdnToken": null
    }
  ]
}

CdnToken Handling

Some CDNs require an authentication token appended to the manifest URL. When CdnToken is present:

ManifestUrl + "?" + CdnToken.Name + "=" + urlencode(CdnToken.Value)

If the ManifestUrl already contains query parameters, use & instead of ?.

Playback Parameters Reference

Parameter	Value	Notes
PlayerId	@dazn/peng-html5-core/web/web	Required, identifies web player
DrmType	WIDEVINE	Also supports PLAYREADY
Platform	web
Format	MPEG-DASH
Secure	true
Model	unknown
Manufacturer	unknown
PlayReadyInitiator	false
Capabilities	mta	Multi-track audio
AppVersion	0.104.0	Must match current DAZN web app version

Age Verification

For events with VerifyAge=true, submit the PIN before requesting playback:

POST https://youth-protect.discovery.indazn.com/v2/pin
Authorization: Bearer {token}
Content-Type: application/json

{"pin": "1234"}

Then add the header x-age-verification-pin: 1234 to the Playback request.

Widevine DRM Flow

1. Fetch the MPD manifest from ManifestUrl
2. Extract the PSSH box (base64) from <ContentProtection> element with schemeIdUri="urn:uuid:edef8ba9-79d6-4ace-a3c8-27dcd51d21ed"
3. Send PSSH to LaUrl using pywidevine CDM to obtain decryption keys
4. Keys are in KID:KEY hex format (e.g., 55d06fce...:d26e9211...)

Image URLs

Event images use the DAZN image CDN:

https://image.discovery.indazn.com/eu/v3/eu/none/{ImageId}/fill/none/top/none/85/{width}/{height}/{mime}/image

Common sizes: 720x404 (thumbnail), 1280x720 (fanart), 334x501 (portrait).
