Track Down's Now Playing tool reads your currently-playing track directly from Spotify's API and renders a shareable 600×600 card with the album art, track name, artist, and a live progress bar, downloadable as a JPEG. Something needs to be actively playing on your Spotify account for it to generate a card.
Spotify's currently-playing endpoint only returns data while a track is actively playing on your account. Start playback on any device signed into your Spotify account, then click "Refresh."
No — Spotify's currently-playing API works for free accounts too, as long as you're connected and something is playing.
No, it's a snapshot. Click "Refresh" to pull the latest playback position and regenerate the card with the current progress bar.
