Subject: Request for Deezer ARL Token Access / Info
Hi [Name],
I’m reaching out to request assistance with obtaining or troubleshooting an ARL token for Deezer. I need the ARL token to authenticate requests for my personal project that accesses my Deezer account data (playlists, favorites, listening history). Could you please provide:
For reference, I’m using [platform/browser/API client] and my goal is to [brief purpose — e.g., sync playlists to another app / archive my listening history]. Happy to provide more details if needed. deezer arl token top
Thanks, [Your Name]
If you want a version tailored for a support ticket, developer forum, or a public post, tell me which and I’ll adapt it.
Deezer is slowly migrating toward OAuth 2.0 and WebAuthn, which will phase out ARL persistence. Already, new accounts created after December 2024 have stricter ARL timeouts (7 days vs. 30 days for legacy accounts).
To stay ahead:
deemix, maintain multiple "backup" ARL tokens from different browsers.Let’s demystify the jargon. ARL stands for Authentication Request Link (though some sources refer to it as "Arl" simply as a code name). In technical terms, the ARL token is a unique, static hexadecimal string assigned to your Deezer account after a successful login.
Unlike a standard session cookie that expires when you close your browser, the ARL token is designed for longevity. It acts as a "master key" that authenticates your identity to Deezer’s API (Application Programming Interface).
payload = "method": "user.getArlUser" response = session.post( "https://www.deezer.com/ajax/gw-light.php", params="method": "user.getArlUser", json=payload )
print(response.json())
Important endpoints that use ARL:
| Method | Purpose |
| :--- | :--- |
| user.getArlUser | Validate ARL and get user ID |
| song.getData | Get track info + decryption key (BF) |
| playlist.getSongs | List tracks in a playlist |
| user.getPlaylists | Get user's playlists |
The most controversial use case is using an ARL token associated with a Premium account. By pasting a "working" token into a modded app, a user can trick the server into thinking they are a Premium subscriber, granting access to high-fidelity audio and ad-free listening without paying the subscription fee.
