# 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](https://developer.spotify.com/web-api/authorization-guide/).
|
|
|
|
Before you start, install `SpotifyAPI.Web.Auth` and create an application at Spotify: [Your Applications](https://developer.spotify.com/my-applications/#!/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](implicit_grant.md)
|
|
|
|
* [TokenSwapAuth](token_swap.md) (**Recommended**, server-side code mandatory, most secure method. The necessary code is shown here so you do not have to code it yourself.)
|
|
|
|
* [AutorizationCodeAuth](authorization_code.md) (Not recommended, server-side code needed, else it's unsecure)
|
|
|
|
* [ClientCredentialsAuth](client_credentials.md) (Not recommended, server-side code needed, else it's unsecure)
|
|
