# Following Artists, Playlists, and Users

A Spotify user can follow artists, playlists, and users. The API contains methods for all of this functionality.

## Following an artist or user

```php
$api->followArtistsOrUsers('artist', 'ARTIST_ID');
```

## Unfollowing an artist or user

```php
$api->unfollowArtistsOrUsers('artist', 'ARTIST_ID');
```

## Checking if a user is following an artist or user

```php
$following = $api->currentUserFollows('user', 'spotify');

var_dump($following);
```

## Following a playlist

```php
$api->followPlaylist('PLAYLIST_ID');
```

## Unfollowing a playlist

```php
$api->unfollowPlaylist('PLAYLIST_ID');
```

## Checking if user(s) are following a playlist

```php
$users = [
    'USER_1',
    'USER_2',
];

$api->usersFollowsPlaylist('PLAYLIST_ID', [
    'ids' => $users,
]);
```
