Hi, I'm trying to do an app that gets information from an IP but I can't continue because I got this error in "SearchArtist"

These are the two parts of the code that I am having issues

public static SpotifyResult SearchArtist(string searchWord)
      {
          var client = new RestClient("https://api.spotify.com/v1/search");
          client.AddDefaultHeader("Authorization", $"Bearer {token.access_token}");
          var request = new RestRequest($"?q={searchWord}&type=artist", Method.GET);
          var response = client.Execute(request);

          if (response.IsSuccessful)
          {
              var result = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<SpotifyResult>(response.Content);
              return result;
          }
          else
          {
              return null;
          }

      }

and this one

public class SpotifyResult
      {
          public Artists artists { get; set; }
      }

What I have tried:

I make everything public already and I am still getting the message error

If you don't understand an error message, google it: cs0050 - Google Search[^]
Th top hit takes to to the MS documentation for the error: Compiler Error CS0050 | Microsoft Docs[^]

Which says that the problem is due to !"inconsistent access" : you are trying to return or pass a value to a public method but the type is more restrictive.
It may be that the Artists class is private, internal, protected, or protected internal which would mean that although an external class could access the method, it can't access the return value of the property, so you get an error CS0050.

Start by using VS to replace your var values with explicit types: that way it's a lot easier to see exactly what classes you are dealing with, then trace them to find out the accessibility level.

Sorry, but we can't do any of that for you!
