Skip the current item

Ends the item on air so the next one starts immediately. The station owns the decoder, so this lands at once rather than waiting out audio already committed to a player

AttributeTypeRequiredDescription
itemstringNoThe id of the item on air as the caller last saw it (PlayoutStatus.nowPlaying.item.id). When it is no longer on air the skip is refused with a 409 and nothing is cut, so a press meant for a record that has just ended never takes off the one after it. Left out, the skip cuts whatever is on air when it arrives

Response​

200 OK — Returns a PlayoutStatus object.
