Wrong song set as Slack status

[cheshire137]

I used the /spotify-status command in Slack and it set my status to Marijuana by Chrome Sparks when I'm actually listening to All Mine by Portishead in the macOS Spotify client. The currently-playing endpoint is listed as being in beta. I confirmed that it's a bug on the Spotify side by hitting the endpoint manually via a curl command using my personal access token: it's definitely reporting the wrong current song for my account. I opened spotify/web-api#481 about it.

Could also make use of the https://developer.spotify.com/web-api/web-api-personalization-endpoints/get-recently-played/ endpoint instead, which is not marked as being in beta. With it you'd mostly not get the current song but rather the prior song, but that'd still be preferable to a song you question "when did I ever even listen to that?". I'm listening to Aviator by Photek currently but the currently-playing endpoint is reporting a Cream song from yesterday, for example.
