How to obtain your Slingbox admin password?

Using the Identity Endpoint

Method confirmed on: 12/1/2022

You can obtain this by using Postman to call 2 APIs in order to get the memberslingbox info. This process is detailed below:

  1. Invoke the Identity endpoint to obtain your member-id and username.

    curl --location --request POST 'https://secure.sling.com/slingaccounts/rest/v3/identitypoint' \
--header 'Content-Type: application x-www-form-urlencoded' \
--data-urlencode 'context=SLINGIT_PORTAL' \
--data-urlencode 'policy_code=MAS' \
--data-urlencode '[email protected]' \
--data-urlencode 'password=my-password'

    Sample Response:

    <identitypoint>
    <identity>5749057</identity>
    <ticket>6fe2d62a-fa5b-47b8-96dc-074ac5e15766-prod</ticket>
</identitypoint>

    Postman reference:

    In Postman > Body tab:

    • Select x-www-form-urlencoded.

    • Enter following key / values:

      key value
      context SLINGIT_PORTAL
      policy_code MAS
      email_address {user-email}
      password {user-password}

    Hit send. If it worked, you should get a 200 OK with JSON response. Save the identity and ticket from response, you will need those for the next call.

  2. Obtain your user and admin password:

    curl --location --request GET 'https://secure.sling.com/slingaccounts/rest/v5/member/8239057/device/slingboxes' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--header 'Authorization: Basic GGbZlNEJ2MmEtZmE3Yi00OHR4LTk2OTMtMDc0YWM1ZTc1NzR5LXByb2Q1'

    Sample response:

    <memberslingboxes>
    <memberslingbox>
        <memberSlingBoxId>8239057</memberSlingBoxId>
        <slingbox>
            <finderId>0F084E4A2950F319D6E6BD7DCB4E4E</finderId>
            <productSignature>000012</productSignature>
        </slingbox>
        <adminPassword>E1:646608a8c13707ae850fecfe20f34d75b97555fcbd3dc3a0a32f14c43b4a05</adminPassword>
        <userPassword>E1:563deba5114b2ee5ea0a41aa76e4ea288879c650bfb9c5faa793f859786d2c0</userPassword>
        <displayName>My Slingbox</displayName>
        <isOwner>true</isOwner>
        <passwordAutoMode>true</passwordAutoMode>
        <lookupByFinderId>true</lookupByFinderId>
        <guestCount>0</guestCount>
    </memberslingbox>
    <size>1</size>
</memberslingboxes>

    Postman reference:

    For this call, replace {member-id} with the "identity" value from first request:

    https://secure.sling.com/slingaccounts/rest/v5/member/`{member-id}`/device/slingboxes

    • In the Authorization tab, select Basic Auth
    • Enter the ticket value from first request as the username
      • Leave the password blank.
    • Hit Send

    It should list out your member slingbox JSON, which is a document that contains entries of: adminPassword.
