If you prefer Chrome or cannot use Firefox, you can connect your Android phone to a computer and extract the cookie via USB debugging.
On a desktop web browser (Chrome/Firefox on PC), obtaining the ARL is straightforward: you log in, open Developer Tools (F12), navigate to the Application/Storage tab, and find the cookie named arl.
On Android, this process is hindered by the operating system's security model:
The core technique involves extracting the token from the app’s local storage. Unlike a web browser where tokens are hidden in cookies, Android apps often store authentication data in SQLite databases or shared preferences. Here is the standard process: how to get deezer arl token android work
Step 1: Enable Debugging and Install ADB On your Android device, enable "Developer Options" (by tapping the build number seven times in settings) and turn on "USB Debugging." On your computer, install ADB (Android Debug Bridge) and Fastboot tools. Connect your device via USB and authorize the connection.
Step 2: Locate the Deezer Data Directory Using ADB, open a shell on your device:
adb shell
Navigate to Deezer’s private data folder: If you prefer Chrome or cannot use Firefox,
run-as com.deezer.music
This command grants you temporary access to the app’s internal storage without needing root permissions.
Step 3: Extract the preferences File
The ARL token is stored in an XML file called shared_prefs/com.deezer.music_preferences.xml. Copy this file to a accessible location:
cat shared_prefs/com.deezer.music_preferences.xml > /sdcard/deezer_prefs.xml
exit
adb pull /sdcard/deezer_prefs.xml
Step 4: Parse the Token
Open the deezer_prefs.xml file in a text editor. Look for a key named "arl" or "user_arl". The value next to it—a long alphanumeric string (e.g., "8f3a9d...2e1c")—is your ARL token. Alternatively, on newer versions of Deezer, the token might be found under the key "dz_luid" or within a base64-encoded string. Copy this token carefully; even a missing character will render it invalid. Navigate to Deezer’s private data folder:
run-as com
Treat your ARL token like a password.
With your ARL token, anyone can:
If you suspect your token has been compromised, go to Deezer Settings → End all sessions and change your password immediately.
If you absolutely must generate the token using the browser on your Android phone (e.g., if the login requires a mobile carrier IP), you can use remote debugging.
