This reference implementation provides a radio station with a working snippet of code to format and output the current song and artist for the Now Playing feature.
The Now Playing feature from Zipwhip is an augmented version of the Keywords feature. When a listener sends a text that includes the keyword associated with the Now Playing feature, typically nowplaying
or now playing
. Zipwhip performs a Web Request to retrieve the current song playing from the radio stations web server.
Zipwhip expects the Song Title and Artist to be in a particular format:
{Song Title}<br /><i>{Artist}</i>
