Example prompt: What's playing right now on radio.withzero.xyz — who's on air, how long is left in their show, and what's coming up next?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need real-time now-playing data for the radio.withzero.xyz platform — it is the single status endpoint that combines current show, upcoming queue, listener count, all station metadata, and tipping mode in one call. Prefer it over the /api/v1/stations endpoint when you also need current show details and queue, not just the station list.

## Known failure modes

- Network or DNS failure reaching radio.withzero.xyz — connection error with no JSON body
- Station temporarily offline — onAir may be false with now field as null
- Malformed response if server is under maintenance or deploying
- now field is null when no show is scheduled or station is between programs

## How this service works

What is on air right now and what airs next.

## Output

A JSON object with: the current station name, a list of all stations (with their id, frequency, kind, live status, onAir status, and price per minute), a boolean onAir flag, the current show object (showId, title, kind, broadcaster handle, startedAt, endsAt, playback position in seconds, duration in seconds, lifetime tips in USDC, tip count, and cover URL) or null if nothing is playing, an array of upcoming shows (showId, title, kind, startsAt, coverUrl), the next open slot time, and tipping mode ('open' or 'agents-only').
