By default, every time a <code>SpotifyClientConfig</code> is instantiated, a new <code>HTTPClient</code> is created in the background. For Web Applications that require a lot of different configs due to user based access tokens, it is <strong>not</strong> advised to create a new config from scratch with every HTTP call. Instead, a default (static) config should be used to create a new config with a new access token.</p><p>Consider the following HTTP Endpoint:</p><divclass="codeBlockContainer_K1bP"><divclass="codeBlockContent_hGly csharp"><divtabindex="0"class="prism-code language-csharp codeBlock_23N8 thin-scrollbar"><divclass="codeBlockLines_39YC"style="color:#bfc7d5;background-color:#292d3e"><divclass="token-line"style="color:#bfc7d5"><spanclass="token plain">public HttpResult Get()</span></div><divclass="token-line"style="color:#bfc7d5"><spanclass="token plain">{</span></div><divclass="token-line"style="color:#bfc7d5"><spanclass="token plain"> var config = SpotifyClientConfig.CreateDefault("YourAccessToken")</span></div><divclass="token-line"style="color:#bfc7d5"><spanclass="token plain"> var spotify = new SpotifyClient(config);</span></div><divclass="token-line"style="color:#bfc7d5"><spanclass="token plain">}</span></div></div></div><buttontype="button"aria-label="Copy code to clipboard"class="copyButton_Ue-o">Copy</button></div></div><p>This creates a new <code>HTTPClient</code> every time a request is made, which can be quite bad for the performance.
