This API provides full access to the new SpotifyWebAPI introduced [here](https://developer.spotify.com/web-api/).
|
|
With it, you can search for Tracks/Albums/Artists and also get User-based information.
|
|
It's also possible to create new playlists and add tracks to it.
|
|
|
|
## First steps
|
|
|
|
### Imports
|
|
|
|
So after you added the API to your project, you may want to add following imports to your files:
|
|
|
|
```csharp
|
|
using SpotifyAPI.Web; //Base Namespace
|
|
using SpotifyAPI.Web.Enums; //Enums
|
|
using SpotifyAPI.Web.Models; //Models for the JSON-responses
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Basic-Usage
|
|
|
|
Now you can actually start doing calls to the SpotifyAPI, just create a new Instance of SpotifyWebAPI:
|
|
```csharp
|
|
private static SpotifyWebAPI _spotify;
|
|
|
|
public static void Main(String[] args)
|
|
{
|
|
_spotify = new SpotifyWebAPI()
|
|
{
|
|
AccessToken = "XXXXXXXXXXXX",
|
|
TokenType = "Bearer"
|
|
}
|
|
FullTrack track = _spotify.GetTrack("3Hvu1pq89D4R0lyPBoujSv");
|
|
Console.WriteLine(track.Name); //Yeay! We just printed a tracks name.
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You may note that we used `AccessToken` and `TokenType`. Spotify does not allow un-authorized access to their API. You will need to implement one of the auth flows. Luckily, `SpotifyAPI.Web.Auth` exists for this reason. A simple way to receive a `AccessToken` is via `CredentialAuth`:
|
|
|
|
```csharp
|
|
CredentialsAuth auth = new CredentialsAuth("YourClientID", "YourClientSecret");
|
|
Token token = await auth.GetToken();
|
|
_spotify = new SpotifyWebAPI()
|
|
{
|
|
AccessToken = token.AccessToken,
|
|
TokenType = token.TokenType
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
## Error-Handling
|
|
Every API-Call returns a reponse-model which consists of base-error model. To check if a specific API-Call was successful, use the following approach:
|
|
```csharp
|
|
PrivateProfile profile = _spotify.GetPrivateProfile();
|
|
if (profile.HasError())
|
|
{
|
|
Console.WriteLine("Error Status: " + profile.Error.Status);
|
|
Console.WriteLine("Error Msg: " + profile.Error.Message);
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
In case some or all of the returned values are null, consult error status and message, they can lead to an explanation!
|
|
|
|
## Sync vs Asynchronous
|
|
Every API-Call has an `asynchronous` and `synchronous` method.
|
|
|
|
```csharp
|
|
public async void Test()
|
|
{
|
|
var asyncProfile = await _spotify.GetPrivateProfileAsync();
|
|
var syncProfile = _spotify.GetPrivateProfile();
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Note that the `synchronous` call will block the current Thread!
