IDBE Server

Server List > IDBE Server

This server provides icon data for 3DS, Wii U and Switch titles.

Platform	Server
3DS	https://idbe-ctr.cdn.nintendo.net
Wii U	https://idbe-wup.cdn.nintendo.net
Switch	https://idbe-hac.cdn.nintendo.net

An icon file can be retrieved by sending a GET request to one of the following URLs:

URL	Description
/icondata/<id>/<titleid>.idbe	Provides the latest icon data for a title
/icondata/<id>/<titleid>-<version>.idbe	Provides the icon data for a specific version of a title

The title id must be specified as 16 uppercase hex digits. The first id should be (titleid >> 8) & 0xFF. For example, if the title id is 0005000010137D00 then the first id should be 7D. The server seems to ignore this value though.
