TIDAL Playback API
Playback prerequisites — play queues, encrypted track manifests (HLS/DASH with HI_RES_LOSSLESS, LOSSLESS, HIGH, LOW quality tiers), video manifests, offline tasks, downloads, and usage rules. Per TIDAL policy, audio bytes flow exclusively through the official TIDAL Player SDK; the Playback API only issues signed manifests. Requires playback scope.
TIDAL Playback API is one of 10 APIs that TIDAL publishes on the APIs.io network, described by a machine-readable OpenAPI specification.
This API exposes 4 machine-runnable capabilities that can be deployed as REST, MCP, or Agent Skill surfaces via Naftiko.
Tagged areas include Music, Playback, Streaming, Hi-Fi, and HiRes. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes API documentation, an OpenAPI specification, and 4 Naftiko capability specs.
