How to Grab the HLS/DASH URL from an e+ Ticket Page (You Still Can’t Watch)

Even if you don’t have a ticket, you can still get as far as identifying the HLS stream URL.
But yeah — you cannot actually watch the video.

---

Overview

On e+ (eplus) streaming pages, stream data can be fetched through their API.
Ticket or not, the following steps let you check the HLS (.m3u8) URL.

---

Steps

1. Check the Ticket Sales Page URL

Example:

https://eplus.jp/sf/detail/3480210024-P0030401P021001

---

2. Generate the Stream ID from the URL

Use the string that comes after /detail/.

3480210024-P0030401P021001

Convert this value into a Stream ID using the following format:

XXXXXX-XXXX-PXXX-XXXX-PXXX-XXX
->
XXXXXX-XXXX-XXX

Example:

348021-0024-P003-0401-P021-001
->
348021-0401-001

---

3. Access the Stream Info API

Use the generated Stream ID to hit this API endpoint:

https://live.eplus.jp/api/stream/{stream_id}/status

Example:

https://live.eplus.jp/api/stream/348021-0401-001/status

---

4. Get the HLS URL from the JSON Response

Inside the API response JSON, the HLS URLs are included in:

stream["channels"]
stream["channels_live"]

That’s where the .m3u8 links live.

---

Important Limitations

e+ streams use CloudFront signed URLs.
So even if you get the HLS URL, you can’t just play it directly. No shortcut magic here.

The following cookies — normally issued via the official viewing page — are required:

• Key-Pair-Id
• Key-Signature
• Key-Policy

Without these, playback gets blocked. Straight-up denied.

If you do somehow know how to get around that… well, congrats I guess — you’ve basically unlocked god mode for content.
