Installation

Run the following command:

How to obtain an authentication token

To use any endpoint function in the API, you must first be authorized by PSN. Fortunately, this is a fairly straightforward process.

  1. In your web browser, visit https://www.playstation.com/, click the "Sign In" button, and log in with a PSN account.

  2. In the same browser (due to a persisted cookie), visit https://ca.account.sony.com/api/v1/ssocookie. You will see a JSON response that looks something like:

{ "npsso": "<64 character token>" }

Copy your NPSSO. Do not expose it anywhere publicly, it is equivalent to your password.

If you see an error response, try using different browser.

  1. You can now obtain an authentication token using your NPSSO with the following function calls from this package.
// This is the value you copied from the previous step.
const myNpsso = "<64 character token>";

// We'll exchange your NPSSO for a special access code.
const accessCode = await exchangeNpssoForCode(myNpsso);

// We can use the access code to get your access token and refresh token.
const authorization = await exchangeCodeForAccessToken(accessCode);
  1. You should now be all set to use any endpoint provided by this package. Each function requires as its first argument an object containing your access token. ex:
const authorization = await exchangeCodeForAccessToken(accessCode);

// This returns a list of all the games you've earned trophies for.
const userTitlesResponse = await getUserTitles(
  { accessToken: authorization.accessToken },
  "me"
);
