## File Location
The main API is handled by `PlayerApiController`:
```text
src/public/Controllers/Api/PlayerApiController.php
```
The EPG/XMLTV endpoint (`/xmltv.php`) is handled by `EpgApiController`:
```text
src/public/Controllers/Api/EpgApiController.php
```
---
## Overview
The API is divided into key sections for easier integration.
Each endpoint includes example requests and responses.
---
## Authorization
Authorization is the first step to access content.
It validates user credentials and returns server information.
### Request
```http
GET /player_api?username={username}&password={password}
```
### Example Response
```json
