Every time a server sends an error response (HTTP status codes >=400), it may include a human-readable header `X-Reason` that can be displayed to the user.
## Authorization events
Authorization events are used to identify the users to the server
Authorization events must be generic and must NOT be scoped to specific servers. This allows pubkeys to sign a single event and interact the same way with multiple servers.
Events MUST be kind `24242` and have a `t` tag with a verb of `get`, `upload`, `list`, or `delete`
Events MUST have the `content` set to a human readable string explaining to the user what the events intended use is. For example `Upload Blob`, `Delete dog-picture.png`, `List Images`, etc
All events MUST have a [NIP-40](https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/blob/master/40.md) `expiration` tag set to a unix timestamp at which the event should be considered expired.
Authorization events MAY have multiple `x` tags for endpoints that require a sha256 hash.
Example event:
```jsonc

Servers must perform the following checks in order to validate the event
1. The `kind` must be `24242`
2. `created_at` must be in the past
3. The `expiration` tag must be set to a Unix timestamp in the future
4. The `t` tag must have a verb matching the intended action of the endpoint
5. Additional checks for specific endpoints. `/upload`, `/delete`, etc

# BUD-11
## Nostr Authorization
## HLS Video Formatting
`draft` `optional`
Defines the authorization token format used by blossom servers to identify users. Authorization tokens are optional and servers MAY require them for various endpoints.
Defines how to format [HLS](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc8216) (HTTP Live Streaming) videos to be compatible with [BUD-01](./01.md) blob retrieval.
## Authorization tokens
## Overview
Authorization tokens are signed nostr events proving to a server that the user (`pubkey`) has permitted an application to take an action on their behalf.
HLS videos consist of multiple files:
- A master playlist (`.m3u8`) that references variant playlists
- Variant playlists (`.m3u8`) that reference media segments
- Media segment files (typically `.ts` files)
The authorization token MUST be a nostr event of kind `24242` and have a `t` tag with a verb of `get`, `upload`, `list`, `delete`, or `media`
Each file MUST be uploaded as a separate blob and referenced by its SHA256 hash using the [BUD-01](./01.md#get-sha256---get-blob) `GET /<sha256>` endpoint format.
Authorization tokens MUST have the `content` set to a human readable string explaining intended use. For example `Upload Blob`, `Delete old blobs`, `List Images`, etc
## Relative Paths
All authorization tokens MUST have a [NIP-40](https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/blob/master/40.md) `expiration` tag set to a unix timestamp at which the token should be considered expired.
To ensure compatibility across different Blossom servers and allow easy server switching, all URLs in HLS playlists MUST use relative paths containing the SHA256 hash of the referenced blob.
## Tag scoping
Clients MUST NOT include the full server domain in playlist URLs. This allows the same playlist to work with any Blossom server that hosts the referenced blobs.
Authorization tokens MAY include `server` and `x` tags to scope the token to specific servers or blob hashes.
## Master Playlist Format
- **`server` tag**: Limits the token to specific servers by domain name. If no `server` tags are present, the token is valid for all servers. Multiple `server` tags may be present to allow the token to be used on multiple servers. The value MUST be a domain name only (e.g., `cdn.example.com`), not a full URL.
The master playlist (`.m3u8`) MUST reference variant playlists using relative paths with SHA256 hashes.
- **`x` tag**: Scopes the token to specific blob hashes (similar to how `server` scopes to servers). Multiple `x` tags may be present for endpoints that require a sha256 hash. When `x` tags are present, the token is only valid for operations on the specified blob hashes.
The master playlist MUST have the MIME type `application/vnd.apple.mpegurl` or `application/x-mpegURL`.
Example authorization token:

```
## Base validation
## Variant Playlist Format
Servers must perform the following checks in order to validate the authorization token
Variant playlists (`.m3u8`) MUST reference media segments using relative paths with SHA256 hashes.
1. The `kind` must be `24242`
2. `created_at` must be in the past
3. The `expiration` tag must be set to a Unix timestamp in the future
4. The `t` tag must have a verb matching the intended action of the endpoint
5. If `server` tags are present, the server MUST verify that its domain name is present in at least one `server` tag. If no `server` tags are present, the token is valid for all servers.
Each segment URL MUST be a relative path containing the SHA256 hash of the segment file. The file extension (`.ts`, `.m4s`, etc.) MAY be included for compatibility with HLS clients.
## HTTP Authorization header
Example variant playlist:
Using the `Authorization` HTTP header, the authorization token (kind `24242`) MUST be base64 encoded and use the Authorization scheme Nostr
Example HTTP Authorization header:

```
## Endpoint-specific requirements (example)
## Media Segments
Individual endpoints may extend the base validation with additional requirements. The following are examples of how endpoints use authorization tokens:
Media segment files (typically `.ts` files) MUST be uploaded as separate blobs. Each segment MUST be retrievable via the [BUD-01](./01.md#get-sha256---get-blob) `GET /<sha256>` endpoint.
- **`/upload`** ([BUD-02](./02.md#upload-authorization)): May requires at least one `x` tag matching the sha256 hash of the blob being uploaded
- **`DELETE /<sha256>`** ([BUD-02](./02.md#delete-authorization)): May requires at least one `x` tag matching the sha256 hash of the blob being deleted
- **`PUT /media`** ([BUD-05](./05.md#upload-authorization)): May requires at least one `x` tag matching the sha256 hash of the media being uploaded
- **`GET /<sha256>`** ([BUD-01](./01.md#get-authorization)): May require either a `server` tag or at least one `x` tag matching the sha256 hash of the blob being retrieved
- **`GET /list/<pubkey>`** ([BUD-02](./02.md#list-authorization)): May require a `server` tag limiting the token to specific servers
- **`PUT /mirror`** ([BUD-04](./04.md#put-mirror---mirror-blob)): May requires at least one `x` tag matching the sha256 hash of the blob being mirrored
The server SHOULD set the `Content-Type` header appropriately:
- `.ts` files: `video/mp2t` or `video/MP2T`
- `.m4s` files: `video/iso.segment` or `video/mp4`
## Client Implementation
When generating HLS playlists for Blossom:
1. Upload each media segment as a separate blob using [BUD-02](./02.md#put-upload---upload-blob) `PUT /upload`
2. Upload each variant playlist as a separate blob
3. Upload the master playlist as a separate blob
4. In all playlists, use relative paths containing only the SHA256 hash (and optional file extension) of the referenced blob
5. When serving the master playlist, clients MAY prepend the current server's base URL to resolve relative paths
Example client flow:
1. Upload segment `segment001.ts` → get SHA256: `1a2b3c4d...`
2. Upload segment `segment002.ts` → get SHA256: `2b3c4d5e...`
3. Create variant playlist referencing `1a2b3c4d...ts` and `2b3c4d5e...ts`
4. Upload variant playlist → get SHA256: `a1b2c3d4...`
5. Create master playlist referencing `a1b2c3d4...m3u8`
6. Upload master playlist → get SHA256: `f9e8d7c6...`
## Server Implementation
When serving HLS playlists, servers MUST:
1. Return the playlist content with the appropriate `Content-Type` header (`application/vnd.apple.mpegurl` or `application/x-mpegURL`)
2. Serve playlists via the [BUD-01](./01.md#get-sha256---get-blob) `GET /<sha256>` endpoint
3. Support optional file extensions (e.g., `/<sha256>.m3u8`) as specified in [BUD-01](./01.md#get-sha256---get-blob)
When a client requests a playlist blob, the server MUST return the playlist content as-is, without modifying relative paths. The client is responsible for resolving relative paths to absolute URLs using the current server's base URL.
## URL Resolution
When a client retrieves a playlist from `https://cdn.example.com/<sha256>.m3u8`, relative paths in the playlist (e.g., `a1b2c3d4...m3u8`) MUST be resolved relative to the playlist's origin.
For example, if a playlist is served from `https://cdn.example.com/f9e8d7c6...m3u8` and contains a relative path `a1b2c3d4...m3u8`, the client SHOULD resolve it to `https://cdn.example.com/a1b2c3d4...m3u8`.
This allows the same playlist blob to work with any Blossom server, as long as all referenced blobs are available on that server.
## Example Complete Structure
```
Master Playlist (SHA256: f9e8d7c6...)
└─> Variant Playlist 1 (SHA256: a1b2c3d4...)
└─> Segment 1 (SHA256: 1a2b3c4d...)
└─> Segment 2 (SHA256: 2b3c4d5e...)
└─> Segment 3 (SHA256: 3c4d5e6f...)
└─> Variant Playlist 2 (SHA256: b2c3d4e5...)
└─> Segment 1 (SHA256: 4d5e6f78...)
└─> Segment 2 (SHA256: 5e6f7890...)
└─> Segment 3 (SHA256: 6f789012...)
```
All references between these files use relative paths containing only SHA256 hashes, making the entire HLS structure portable across different Blossom servers.
See the respective BUD documents for the exact requirements for each endpoint. All endpoints that accept authorization tokens MUST perform the base validation checks defined above before performing any endpoint-specific checks.
