Usage

SpotifyExplode exposes its functionality through a single entry point — the SpotifyClient class. Create an instance of this class and use the provided operations to send requests.

Tracks

Retrieving track metadata

To retrieve the metadata associated with a Spotify track, call Tracks.GetAsync(...):

using SpotifyExplode;

var spotify = new SpotifyClient();

var track = await spotify.Tracks.GetAsync(
    "https://open.spotify.com/track/0VjIjW4GlUZAMYd2vXMi3b"
);

var title = track.Title;
var duration = track.DurationMs;

Playlists

Retrieving playlist metadata

You can get the metadata associated with a Spotify playlist by calling Playlists.GetAsync(...) method:

using SpotifyExplode;

var spotify = new SpotifyClient();

//Get playlist info
var playlist = await spotify.Playlists.GetAsync(
    "https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0tSYjDUflcozy78WwUFe6y"
);

var title = playlist.Name;
var artworkUrl = playlist.Followers;
var tracks = playlist.Tracks;
...

Getting tracks included in a playlist

To get the tracks included in a playlist, call Playlists.GetTracksAsync(...):

using SpotifyExplode;

var spotify = new SpotifyClient();

// Get all tracks in a playlist
var tracks = await spotify.Playlists.GetAllTracksAsync(
    "https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0tSYjDUflcozy78WwUFe6y"
);

// Get only the first 20 playlist tracks
var tracksSubset = await spotify.Playlists.GetTracksAsync(
    "https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0tSYjDUflcozy78WwUFe6y",
    limit: 20
);

//Setting offset
var tracksSubset = await spotify.Playlists.GetTracksAsync(
    "https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0tSYjDUflcozy78WwUFe6y",
    offset: 3,
    limit: 20
);

Albums

Retrieving album metadata

You can get the metadata associated with a Spotify album by calling Albums.GetAsync(...) method:

using SpotifyExplode;

var spotify = new SpotifyClient();

//Get album info with all tracks
var album = await spotify.Albums.GetAsync(
    "https://open.spotify.com/album/336m0kejdM5Fkw2HUX46Bw?si=549f3fdb0cfd46e6"
);

var title = album.Name;
var artists = album.Artists;
var tracks = album.Tracks;
...

Getting tracks included in an album

To get the tracks included in a album, call Albums.GetTracksAsync(...):

using SpotifyExplode;

var spotify = new SpotifyClient();

// Get all tracks in a album
var tracks = await spotify.Albums.GetAllTracksAsync(
    "https://open.spotify.com/album/336m0kejdM5Fkw2HUX46Bw?si=549f3fdb0cfd46e6"
);

// Get only the first 20 album tracks
var tracksSubset = await spotify.Albums.GetTracksAsync(
    "https://open.spotify.com/album/336m0kejdM5Fkw2HUX46Bw?si=549f3fdb0cfd46e6",
    limit: 20
);

//Setting offset
var tracksSubset = await spotify.Albums.GetTracksAsync(
    "https://open.spotify.com/album/336m0kejdM5Fkw2HUX46Bw?si=549f3fdb0cfd46e6",
    offset: 3,
    limit: 20
);

Artists

Retrieving artist metadata

You can get the metadata associated with a Spotify artist by calling Artists.GetAsync(...) method:

using SpotifyExplode;

var spotify = new SpotifyClient();

//Get artist info
var artist = await spotify.Artists.GetAsync(
    "https://open.spotify.com/artist/0bAsR2unSRpn6BQPEnNlZm?si=d3b6e78f96ce45b9"
);

var title = artist.Name;
var albums = artist.Albums;

    "https://open.spotify.com/artist/0bAsR2unSRpn6BQPEnNlZm?si=d3b6e78f96ce45b9"
);

// Get only the first 20 artist albums
var albumsSubset = await spotify.Artists.GetAlbumsAsync(
    "https://open.spotify.com/artist/0bAsR2unSRpn6BQPEnNlZm?si=d3b6e78f96ce45b9",
    limit: 20
);

//Setting offset

Users

);

var name = user.DisplayName;
var followers = user.Followers;
var images = user.Images;

Searching

You can execute a search query and get its results by calling Search.GetResultsAsync(...). Each result may represent either an album, artist, track or playlist, so you need to apply pattern matching to handle the corresponding cases:

using SpotifyExplode;

var spotify = new SpotifyClient();

foreach (var result in await spotify.Search.GetResultsAsync("banda neira"))
{
    // Use pattern matching to handle different results (albums, artists, tracks, playlists)
    switch (result)
    {
        case TrackSearchResult track:
            {
                var id = track.Id;
                var title = track.Title;
                var duration = track.DurationMs;
                break;
            }
        case PlaylistSearchResult playlist:
            {
                var id = playlist.Id;
                var title = playlist.Name;
                break;
            }
        case AlbumSearchResult album:
            {
                var id = album.Id;
                var title = album.Name;
                var artists = album.Artists;
                var tracks = album.Tracks;
                break;
            }
	case ArtistSearchResult artist:
            {
                var id = artist.Id;
                var title = artist.Name;
                break;
            }
    }
}

Downloading

You can get the download url from a track by calling Tracks.GetDownloadUrlAsync(...).

using SpotifyExplode;

var spotify = new SpotifyClient();

var downloadUrl = await spotify.Tracks.GetDownloadUrlAsync(
    "https://open.spotify.com/track/0VjIjW4GlUZAMYd2vXMi3b"
);
// Start download from the url provided...

Extras

You can get a Youtube ID from a track by calling Tracks.GetYoutubeIdAsync(...).

using SpotifyExplode;

var spotify = new SpotifyClient();

var youtubeId = await spotify.Tracks.GetYoutubeIdAsync(
    "https://open.spotify.com/track/0VjIjW4GlUZAMYd2vXMi3b"
);

var youtubeUrl = "https://youtube.com/watch?v=" + youtubeId;
