## Adding SpotifyAPI-NET to your project
The library can be added to your project via the following methods:
### Package Managers
<InstallInstructions/>
### Add DLL Manually
You can also grab the latest compiled DLL from our [GitHub Releases Page](https://github.com/johnnycrazy/spotifyapi-net/releases). It can be added to your project via Visual Studio or directly in your `.csproj`:
Notice that the spotify api does not allow unauthorized API access. Wondering where you should get an access token from? For a quick test, head over to the [Spotify Developer Console](https://developer.spotify.com/console/get-album/) and generate an access token with the required scopes! For a permanent solution, head over to the [authentication guides](auth_introduction.md).
All calls have the [Spotify Web API documentation reference](https://developer.spotify.com/documentation/web-api/reference-beta/) attached as a remark.
## Query/Body Parameters
If an API endpoint has query or body parameters, a request model can be supplied to the method
```csharp
// No optional or required query/body parameters
// The track ID is part of the request path --> it's not treated as query/body parameter
var track = await spotify.Tracks.Get("1s6ux0lNiTziSrd7iUAADH");
// Optional query/body parameter
var track = await spotify.Tracks.Get("1s6ux0lNiTziSrd7iUAADH", new TrackRequest{
Market = "DE"
});
// Sometimes, query/body parameters are also required!
var tracks = await spotify.Tracks.GetSeveral(new TracksRequest(new List<string> {
"1s6ux0lNiTziSrd7iUAADH",
"6YlOxoHWLjH6uVQvxUIUug"
}));
```
If a query/body parameter is required, it has to be supplied in the constructor of the request model. In the background, empty/null checks are also performed to make sure required parameters are not empty/null. If it is optional, it can be supplied as a property to the request model.
