Paid packages

Payment Providers API

Edit authentication.json with your own details, then invoke the script with -auth .\authentication.json. If you have passed the right token but the repo isn't authorizing downloads, you may need to also change the headers.

Example authentication.json

{
    "token": "f2ca1bb6c7e907d06dafe4687e579fce76b37e4e93b7605022da52e6ccc26fd2",
    "udid": "4e1243bd22c66e76c2ba9eddc1f91394e57f9f83",
    "device": "iPhone7,2"
}

You can name authentication.json whatever you like, as long as it is a valid JSON with the token, udid and device (like the example above.)

Building authentication.json

Method 1: Capture the callback URL (works on any repo with the Payment Providers API implemented)

Register the sileo:// protocol and point it to get_token.exe (Windows) or get_token.ps1 (Linux).

• Registering a URL protocol on Windows
• Registering a URL protocol on Linux
• I've never really used macOS so I don't know how to register a URL protocol there /shrug

Then, run the get_token.ps1 script and fill in the information. After that, a browser window will open, allowing you to login with your repo. After you've linked your "device" with the repo, a console app will appear showing your token. Verify that the token showed matches the one in authentication.json.

Once you've finished, just call the download script with -auth authentication.json. Reminder that each authentication will only work with one repo.

Method 2: Helper script (if you can't register sileo:// for method 1)

• Use the extension cookies.txt to dump cookies of the repo's website
• Run get_token/Get-TokenNoSileo.ps1 and fill in the required information. You can change where it saves the json with the flag -output <LOCATION>.

Tested to work on Chariz, Packix and Twickd by default. Other repos may need more work, as detailed here.

Method 3: Manually requesting the API for the token

Refer to this wiki page to get the token.

After you finish, build authentication.json according to the example.

Old repos without the API (BigBoss etc.)

Edit modules/download.ps1, function Get-Headers with your own information:

function Get-Header {
    $headers = @{
        "X-Machine" = "YOUR_DEVICE_IDENTIFIER"
        "X-Unique-ID" = "YOUR_DEVICE_UDID"
        "X-Firmware" = "YOUR_DEVICE_VERSION"
        "User-Agent" = "Sileo/2.2.6 CoreFoundation/1775.118 Darwin/20.4.0"
    }
    return $headers
}

TODO

• Support for dist repos
• Input file
