Real-time geo-locked content delivery network tokens

A system, comprising:

• one or more processors;
• one or more memories storing a program, which, when executed on a combination of the one or more processors, performs an operation, the operation comprising:
• receiving a first request, from a first user, for a link to streaming content;
• determining a defined level of granularity based at least in part on a first property of the first request, wherein the level of granularity is determined to reduce errors for users requesting streaming content compared with a different level of granularity;
• determining a geographic location of the first user based on resolving the first property, wherein the geographic location describes a current geographic location at the defined level of granularity;
• generating a geo-specific token based on the geographic location of the first user;
• transmitting the link to the streaming content to the first user, the link comprising the geo-specific token;
• receiving a second request for the streaming content based on the link, the second request comprising the geo-specific token;
• and
• denying the second request for the streaming content based on comparing the geo-specific token with additional geographic information determined based on the second request.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium containing computer program code that, when executed by operation of one or more computer processors, performs operations comprising:

• receiving a first request, from a first user, for a link to streaming content;
• determining a defined level of granularity based at least in part on a first property of the first request, wherein the level of granularity is determined to reduce errors for users requesting streaming content compared with a different level of granularity:
• determining a geographic location of the first user based on resolving the first property, wherein the geographic location describes a current geographic location at the defined level of granularity;
• generating a geo-specific token based on the geographic location of the first user;
• transmitting the link to the streaming content to the first user, the link comprising the geo-specific token;
• receiving a second request for the streaming content based on the link, the second request comprising the geo-specific token;
• and
• denying the second request for the streaming content based on comparing the geo-specific token with additional geographic information determined based on the second request.
