How to interact with the Xbox Live API?

The best way to interact with the API is to use our XboxLive-API module. That said, a cURL example is available below.

Sample call:

$ curl 'https://profile.xboxlive.com/users/gt(Major%20Nelson)/profile/settings?settings=Gamerscore' \
    -H 'Authorization: XBL3.0 x={userHash};{XSTSToken}' \
    -H 'x-xbl-contract-version: 2'

Sample response:

{
    "profileUsers": [
        {
            "id": "2584878536129841",
            "hostId": "2584878536129841",
            "settings": [
                {
                    "id": "Gamerscore",
                    "value": "911540"
                }
            ],
            "isSponsoredUser": false
        }
    ]
}

What's a "XSTSRelyingParty"?

The "XSTSRelyingParty" is a domain configured by Microsoft and / or its partners to create a XSTS token which is intended to be used for a targeted service. For instance, if you use http://beam.pro/ you will be able to interact with the private Mixer.com API. A partial list can be found here: https://title.mgt.xboxlive.com/titles/default/endpoints?type=1.

What about 2FA (Two-factor authentication)?

2FA is not supported by this module which may cause authentication issues. Please disable it for the used account or create a dummy one with Xbox LIVE capabalities. Of course, a Gold account is not required.

I'm unable to connect even with valid credentials and no 2FA
