I'm not currently sure if Tidal has an official API or not but im hoping this is possible

This should technically be possible by using Tidal-HiFi https://github.com/Mastermindzh/tidal-hifi as it offers an API which can be toggled in its settings

with the following URLs:

localhost:47836/current
localhost:47836/play
localhost:47836/pause
localhost:47836/playpause

Ive made an issue: Mastermindzh/tidal-hifi#393

but it still doesnt have volume control, shuffle, repeat, info for shuffle, repeat, and volume, artists & times are stored in a manor that is not idle when working with as a string for duration is a little annoying, my work around is parsing them but when I interact with an api I prefer strongly typed stuff.

Wouldn't opening an issue on the repo and asking for this stuff to be added/fixed help in this case?

ill look into adding support for this, as tidal has ghosted me since they sent me an email about getting in contact

okay so ive looked at and built a small prototype but the problem is that app does not have much info needed and it is hard to work on as it does not support windows fully.

I can easily get around the windows part but it still doesnt have volume control, shuffle, repeat, info for shuffle, repeat, and volume, artists & times are stored in a manor that is not idle when working with as a string for duration is a little annoying, my work around is parsing them but when I interact with an api I prefer strongly typed stuff.
