<h1 id="getting-started">Getting started</h1>
<p>This API provides full access to the new SpotifyWebAPI introduced <a href="https://developer.spotify.com/web-api/">here</a>.<br />
With it, you can search for Tracks/Albums/Artists and also get User-based information.<br />
It's also possible to create new playlists and add tracks to it.</p>
<hr />
<h2 id="first-steps">First steps</h2>
<p><strong>Imports</strong><br />
So after you added the API to your project, you may want to add following imports to your files:</p>
<pre><code class="cs">using SpotifyAPI.Web; //Base Namespace
using SpotifyAPI.Web.Auth; //All Authentication-related classes
using SpotifyAPI.Web.Enums; //Enums
using SpotifyAPI.Web.Models; //Models for the JSON-responses
</code></pre>
<p><strong>Basic-Usage</strong><br />
Now you can actually start doing calls to the SpotifyAPI, just create a new Instance of SpotifyWebAPI:</p>
<pre><code class="cs">private static SpotifyWebAPI _spotify;
public static void Main(String[] args)
{
_spotify = new SpotifyWebAPI()
{
UseAuth = false, //This will disable Authentication.
}
FullTrack track = _spotify.GetTrack(&quot;3Hvu1pq89D4R0lyPBoujSv&quot;);
Console.WriteLine(track.Name); //Yeay! We just printed a tracks name.
//...
}
</code></pre>
<hr />
<h2 id="authentication">Authentication</h2>
<p>If you look through the available API-Methods, you will soon notice nearly all of them require Authentication.
Further infos on how to implement Authentication can be found <a href="../../SpotifyWebAPI/auth">here</a></p>
<hr />
<h2 id="examples">Examples</h2>
<p>A list of small examples can be found <a href="../../SpotifyWebAPI/examples">here</a>. Do you think a specific example is missing? Feel free to open a PR/Issue!</p>
<hr />
<h2 id="error-handling">Error-Handling</h2>
<p>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:</p>
<pre><code class="cs">PrivateProfile profile = _spotify.GetPrivateProfile();
if (profile.HasError())
{
Console.WriteLine(&quot;Error Status: &quot; + profile.Error.Status);
Console.WriteLine(&quot;Error Msg: &quot; + profile.Error.Message);
}
</code></pre>
<h2 id="asynchronous">Asynchronous</h2>
<p>Every API-Call now has an asynchronous method. Just append <code>Async</code> to the Method-Name.<br />
Example:</p>
<pre><code class="cs">public async void Test()
{
var profile = await _spotify.GetPrivateProfileAsync();
Console.WriteLine(profile.DisplayName);
}
</code></pre>
