SONG=$(osascript -e 'tell application "Spotify" to name of current track as string')
URLSONG=$(echo "$SONG" | perl -MURI::Escape -ne 'chomp;print uri_escape($_),"\n"')

while true

Works good, ty :)

My contribution using the new token format and hopefully very clear and readable:

# Get this token by:
# - Creating a Slack app https://api.slack.com/apps
# - Select Permissions > Scopes > User Token Scopes and add `users.profile:write`
# - Scroll up and select Install to Workspace under OAuth Tokens for Your Workspace
# - Copy User OAuth Token under OAuth Tokens for Your Workspace
TOKEN=$(cat slack.pat)

do
  echo "Stamp:"
  date -Iseconds

  RUNNING=$(pgrep -lf Spotify)
  # Bail if Spotify is not running to prevent `osascript` from launching it
  if [ -z "$RUNNING" ];
  then
    echo "Spotify is off, waiting a minute…"
    sleep 60
    continue
  fi

  # See `/Applications/Spotify.app/Contents/Resources/Spotify.sdef`
  ARTIST=$(osascript -e 'tell application "Spotify" to artist of current track')
  SONG=$(osascript -e 'tell application "Spotify" to name of current track')

  # Bail if Spotify is not playing anything (but is running)
  if [ -z "$ARTIST" ] || [ -z "$SONG" ];
  then
    echo "Spotify is not playing anything, waiting a minute…"
    sleep 60
    continue
  fi

  STAMP=$(date -v"+5M" +%s)
  JSON=$(echo '{}' | jq --arg SONG "$SONG" --arg ARTIST "$ARTIST" --arg STAMP $STAMP '.profile.status_text=$ARTIST+" - "+$SONG | .profile.status_emoji=":headphones:" | .profile.status_expiration=($STAMP|tonumber)')
  echo "Request:"
  echo "$JSON" | jq '.'

  # See https://api.slack.com/docs/presence-and-status#custom_status

  # Wait for a minute in between the status updates
