Xtream Codes is the API format used by many IPTV providers. You receive three pieces of information: server URL, username, and password. Enter them into your IPTV app and your channels load. This guide explains the Xtream Codes format, how to use it, and how to troubleshoot.
Xtream Codes Format
- Server URL – http://provider.com:port (e.g. http://example.com:8080). No trailing slash usually.
- Username – Your account username. Case-sensitive.
- Password – Your account password. Case-sensitive.
Where to Get Xtream Codes
From your provider after subscribing. Welcome email, customer panel, or support. They may call it "Xtream Codes", "Login", or "API credentials". Same thing.
Troubleshooting Xtream Codes
Wrong server URL (typo, wrong port). Wrong username/password. Expired subscription. Try M3U if provider offers it. Contact support to verify credentials.
