How would I go about making a now playing using the API?

How would I go about making a now playing using the API?

Sorry for this kinda beginner question, but for my personal website I thought it would be a cool feature if I could add a part where it would show what song I am currently listening to for people to see. I thought the Spotify API could work for this, but it seems to be built in a way that does not exactly facilitate these sorts of features. The API seems to be built more for doing stuff with user data and that obviously needs their authorization. However, how would I go about just getting my data and presenting it to the website viewers? Ideally I would not want for them to have to authorize anything for them to see what I am listening to. Also I am using github pages so I would prefer if I did not need to make a back-end to do this. Is there some way I can implement this client-side? If not I'd still be interested in ideas for how to do it on the back-end
