PS Store Activation
URLs
PS Store content activation is often refered to as NP KDC.
On PS3, PSP and PS Vita:
- https://commerce.np.ac.playstation.net/cap.m
- https://commerce.np.ac.playstation.net/cdp.m
- https://commerce.np.ac.playstation.net/kdp.m
On PS4, the servers files are:
- /tcap.m for acttype 1 and 3
- /tcdp.m for acttype 2 and 4
- /tkdp.m for acttype 5 and 6
Usage on PS3, PSP and PS Vita:
- cap should be Console Activation Point. Posting loginid, password (or epassword) and consoleid to tcap.m returns act.dat file.
- cdp = Console Deactivation Point. Same as cap but the console removes the act.dat from the console after this is executed.
- kdp = ?Key Download/Drop Point?. RIF files are obtained from here
Image
Sony servers provide an API to convert any image available on internet to another file format. Here is an example:
https://image.api.np.km.playstation.net/images/?format=png&w=4096&h=2160&image=https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/785892918645129216/1bmhzm0t.jpg
https://image.api.np.km.playstation.net/dis/images/?format=png&w=4096&h=2160&image=https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/785892918645129216/1bmhzm0t.jpg
Supported arguments are:
- image (mandatory): URL to the image
- format: "png" or "jpg"
- w: width in pixel. It is limited to 4096.
- h: height in pixel. It is limited to 2160.
The maximum size may be 8847360 pixels (4096 times 2160).

PlayStation 4 games and applications induce connection to internet to download updates, be downloaded in the case of contents bought on the PlayStation store, and some specific games use more connections for online gaming or diverse additional contents.
