Managing a User's Library

There are lots of operations involving a user's library that can be performed. Remember to request the correct scopes beforehand.

Adding items to a user's library

$api->addMyLibrary([
    'spotify:album:album_id',
    'spotify:artist:artist_id',
    'spotify:episode:episode_id',
    'spotify:playlist:playlist_id',
    'spotify:show:show_id',
    'spotify:track:track_id',
    'spotify:user:user_id',
]);

Deleting items from a user's library

$api->deleteMyLibrary([
    'spotify:album:album_id',
    'spotify:artist:artist_id',
    'spotify:episode:episode_id',
    'spotify:playlist:playlist_id',
    'spotify:show:show_id',
    'spotify:track:track_id',
    'spotify:user:user_id',
]);

var_dump($contains);

Listing the tracks in a user's library

$tracks = $api->getMySavedTracks([
    'limit' => 5,
]);

foreach ($tracks->items as $track) {
    $track = $track->track;

    echo '<a href="' . $track->external_urls->spotify . '">' . $track->name . '</a> <br>';
}
