📚 Intro
IPTV Scripting refers to the process of creating or utilizing scripts to access IPTV streams without proper authorization or subscription. In this context, a Scripter is someone who develops scripts or programs to bypass the security measures implemented by IPTV providers, such as encryption or authentication mechanisms.
These scripts are often used to extract IPTV links from various sources, including protected platforms like JIO and distribute them to users, allowing them to access the streams without having to pay for the service or adhere to any restrictions.
We’re gonna start from scratch and get you into the fun of scripting by making a simple little script together. It’s gonna be easy-peasy, promise!
✔️Requirements
- Python - the main scripting language we’ll use
- Flask - for exposing our API
- Requests - to mimic browser request
🎯 Goal
In this guide, we’re going to walk through the scripting process for CricHD, a site where you can catch sports streams for free. There’s a reason behind choosing CricHD specifically; we’ll discuss the reasons further in this guide.
🧠 Core Concepts
Before we get our hands dirty with the code, let’s make ourselves familiar with some of the Core Concepts required for the whole process.
🔹 Analyzing Network Traffic
The first thing you need to do to crack something is to understand it inside and out! When it comes to online platforms like websites or apps, they have to talk to their origin servers to pull the info they need to work. We’re going to dive into that process. Our plan? We’ll check out the network traffic to see how the streaming part works internally.
