API for controlling playback

[ByRJavaDev]

Hi All,

I have been checking the online developer documentation for Tidal to build a plugin for Touch Portal to integrate Tidal. The developer documentation only shows me functionality in 4 categories; Catalogue, Users, Playlist and Search. Going through them I can not find anything about actual simple playback such as play, pause, stop, volume up and down, next song, previous song, load song and so on.

I am probably looking at the wrong API, but I could not find other APIs or documentation for those functions. I did check out the SDKs for Web and Android and it seems to have these controls available. The problem however, is that I cannot use those, as the plugin I am writing is in Java and runs on desktops.

Since that functionality is (seems) present, I assume there is some documentation somewhere to be found? Anybody can help me out to the correct place to find these or the ability to request them somehow?

I'm developing a python discord bot and have the same issue. I wish that the api becomes the ability to play music.

Hey, as of now, playback is only supported through the SDKs available (documented on developer.tidal.com).

Are there any plans to allow playback control on desktops in the future? Any dates?
