The Microsoft Xbox Live Service API (XSAPI) enables game developers to access Xbox Live. To get access to the Xbox Live service, you can join the Xbox Live Creators Program at https://aka.ms/xblcp, or apply to the ID@Xbox program at http://www.xbox.com/en-us/Developers/id
To learn more about these programs, please refer to the [developer program overview](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/xbox-live/developer-program-overview)
The best way to learn the API and see the best practices is to look at the [Xbox Live Samples](https://github.com/Microsoft/xbox-live-samples), and the [Xbox Live developer docs](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/xbox-live/)
You might want to link against the XSAPI source if you want to debug an issue, or understand where an error code is coming from. How to do this can be found at [How to link your project against source](LINKTOSOURCE.md)
Is there a feature missing that you'd like to see, or found a bug that you have a fix for? Or do you have an idea or just interest in helping out in building the library? Let us know and we'd love to work with you. For a good starting point on where we are headed and feature ideas, take a look at our [requested features and bugs](https://github.com/Microsoft/xbox-live-api/issues).
We'd love to get your review score, whether good or bad, but even more than that, we want to fix your problem. If you submit your issue as a Review, we won't be able to respond to your problem and ask any follow-up questions that may be necessary. The most efficient way to do that is to open an issue in our [issue tracker](https://github.com/Microsoft/xbox-live-api/issues).
Any questions you might have can be answered on the [MSDN Forums](https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/home?forum=xboxlivedev). You can also ask programming related questions to [Stack Overflow](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/xbox-live) using the "xbox-live" tag. The Xbox Live team will be engaged with the community and be continually improving our APIs, tools, and documentation based on the feedback received there.
For developers in the Xbox Live Creators Program, you can submit a new idea or vote on existing idea at our [Xbox Live Creators Program User Voice](https://aka.ms/xblcpuv)
