Spotify API client get playlist tracks offset

Question

I am a complete newbie to APIs and wanted to try it out with the Spotify API.

I use the Spotify API client from JohnnyCrazy and it works quite well so far. The authentication with the token works too.

As a test I wanted to display all songs of a given playlist, but found out that there is a request limit of 100 songs. To get the next songs I would have to use the query parameter offset as I read on the Spotify Developer website.

My question now is how to include the offset parameter in the code with the Spotify API client.

This is my code:

var spotify = new SpotifyClient(MyToken);

var playlist = await spotify.Playlists.Get(MyPlaylistURI);

foreach (PlaylistTrack<IPlayableItem> item in playlist.Tracks.Items)
{
  if (item.Track is FullTrack track)
  {
    Console.WriteLine(track.Name, track.Album.Name);
  }
}

edit: MyPlaylistURI is just the Playlist ID. my bad

Answer 1

According to the documentation, offset is a query parameter, meaning that you can just append it to the URI, i.e.

var MyPlaylistURI = "https://uri-you-are-using?offset=100"
var spotify = new SpotifyClient(MyToken);
var playlist = await spotify.Playlists.Get(MyPlaylistURI);

Of course, you would not hard code the offset. This is just to show how to include that parameter.
