Project

tidal-cli — TypeScript CLI for Tidal music streaming. Designed for LLM agent automation via OpenClaw.

Architecture

• API: @tidal-music/api client against https://openapi.tidal.com/v2 (JSON:API spec)
• Auth: OAuth Authorization Code + PKCE. No client_secret. Client ID hardcoded (public OAuth pattern).
• Session: localStorage polyfill backed by ~/.tidal-cli/session.json. Tokens auto-refresh.
• Country code: Auto-detected from user profile via /users/me. Fallback: TIDAL_COUNTRY env var, then US.
• Playback: Uses /trackManifests/{id} (DASH segments), not the legacy v1 API.
