XmlTV file updated daily

Every day, an up-to-date XmlTV file is automatically generated on my site.
This file is compressed in GZIP format, you can decompress it with 7zip or WinRAR.

❓What is the XmlTV format?

It is a widely used format for electronic program guides (EPG). Many applications use it to display TV programs from hundreds of channels around the world.

I focus solely on French channels.
I have neither the time nor the desire to develop this service for other countries.

🔐 Access to the complete file (11 days)

To obtain the complete version of the TV guide (11 days), you need to:

1. Create an account on my site.
2. Retrieve your API key (available in your account).

Available URLs

Three URL formats are available depending on your needs:

⚠️ Replace [YourApiKey] with your actual API key (without brackets or quotes).

💡 The URLs also work in http:// (without the "s"). Useful for satellite decoders (Enigma2, Dreambox, Vu+...) that do not support HTTPS.

🆕 New: Simplified direct URLs

The URLs in .xml and .xml.gz are the easiest to use. They work directly without additional parameters and are compatible with IPTV applications (iMPlayer, TiviMate, etc.) that do not follow HTTP redirects or require a file extension in the URL.

⚙️ Additional options (URL with parameters)

If you use the classic URL with parameters, you can add these options:

💡 Uncompressed file (raw XML):

https://digital3d.com/api/xmltv?userId=[YourApiKey]&noCompressed=true

💡 File without accents:

https://digital3d.com/api/xmltv?userId=[YourApiKey]&noAccent=true

💡 Both combined:

https://digital3d.com/api/xmltv?userId=[YourApiKey]&noCompressed=true&noAccent=true

💡 The noAccent parameter is also available on direct URLs:
https://digital3d.com/api/xmltv/[YourApiKey].xml?noAccent=true

🌐 Access via browser

You can also download the file via your browser with this URL:

https://digital3d.com/XmlTv?Id=[YourApiKey]

Available options: &NoCompressed=1 (uncompressed XML) and &NoAccent=1 (without accents).

🕒 The file is updated only once per night, no need to download it multiple times a day.

Is it free?

Yes: you are entitled to 1 free download per day.

And if you use the service regularly: the Pro subscription (12€/month) allows you to significantly increase the quotas and keep the service reliable and up to date.
Between hosting, bandwidth, and maintenance (bugs + adaptations when sources evolve), it represents about 1200€ per year, not counting development time.

If this XMLTV saves you time, the Pro version is the best way to support the project ❤
