Getting Started

Auth-Methods

Before you can use the Web API's full functionality, you need the user to authenticate your Application. If you want to know more, you can read to the whole auth-process here.

Before you start, install SpotifyAPI.Web.Auth and create an application at Spotify: Your Applications

After you have created your Application, you will have following important values:

Name	Description
Client_Id	This is your client_id, you don't have to hide it
Client_Secret	Never use this in one of your client-side apps! Keep it secret!
Redirect URIs	Some of auth flows require that you set the correct redirect URI

Now you can start with the user-authentication. Spotify provides 3 ways (4 if you consider different implementations):

• ImplicitGrantAuth

• AutorizationCodeAuth

• ClientCredentialsAuth

• TokenSwapAuth
