Have the Now Playing API endpoint return JSON when specified

19 votes

When the Accept header is set to `application/json` it would be nice of the Now Playing endpoint returned the data in a json format like: {"song": "Blah blah", "artist": "blah blah", "album_cover": "https://example.com/album_cover"} or similar to the new beta clients JSON output.

I would like to add emphasis on the `album_cover` part of that. We currently have no way of getting that.

I personally think this should be based on the url you access, i.e. https://api.pretzel.tv/playing/twitch/TwitchID/json for this, both for backwards compatibility and consistent output at one url.

So, how is that API?
