I would like the ability to fetch "current song" title to enable the ability to discuss or add fun factoids about the track at a glance on my website

With an external API we can use it to automatically pull data to a chat if chat offers the feature.

It would be equally welcome to be able to push metadata during LIVE sessions. Much in the same way BUTT pushes a file when encoding and enabled. However, I've noticed that using BUTT can sometimes add unwanted artifacts just when the metadata push happens. I would be welcomed to also be able to manually update stream metadata on the fly from an API or simple HTTP push.

I had this functionality with another provider's player and it's something I've not lost.

Per PlayoutOne, this is a restriction on your end, please open your API to them to allow relay stats. You allow it for SAM why not PlayoutONE?

Create a script that returns the current title and artist in text format so that it may be used in a fasion such as displayed on a webpage or chat room.

"Event" or "Trigger" API availability would be nice. Here's the use case.

There may be times when we broadcast a specific program where we want to notify that it's airing on the radio side right at that point. We could then push it to whatever mobile app, Discord, social media, etc. as an alert to folks in case they want to listen at that moment; this would be especially good when it's a LiveDJ source ("we're live NOW" kind of thing).

The simple way to do this might be some sort of RSS feed that gets updated with whatever's currently playing. That data must exist because the player knows what's playing currently.
