HTTP Request Shortcuts

Waboodoo

About this app

Place shortcuts (widgets) on your home screen to submit HTTP(S) requests to all your favorite RESTful APIs, webservices and other URL resources. Great for home automation projects!

Build powerful workflows by dynamically injecting values into the request through global variables or by adding JavaScript code snippets to process the HTTP response.

This app is open source, find it on Github: https://github.com/Waboodoo/HTTP-Shortcuts. It's also completely free and contains no ads, because who wants those anyway.

Ratings and reviews

I have always used folders and shortcuts to organize my home screens, for sites that did not have an app, or where I just didn't want the app installed on my phone. I have links to google sheets & docs, frequent websites, medical and financial sites. This year on my new android Motorola edge+, the links I placed on home screen would disappear, just out of the blue. So annoying. I just started using HTTP Request Shortcuts yesterday, and so far it is working great. I don't have to hunt for my links anymore, and I can create categories, to group my shortcuts. It is interesting to see what others are using this app for. I will have to experiment a bit.

Beautiful app, I use it both for triggering smart home stuff and opening websites in a "custom tab" - a Chrome window that doesn't stay put forever as a browser tab. A very neat way to make "apps" out of websites easily!

This app is so great. I use it to send URLs via Androids "Share" function to some other web apps, like a bookmarking app. The scripting functionally also allows to rewrite the URLs, so its possible to rewrite for example twitter links to nitter. Disclaimer: I'm a programmer myself and it might be a little complicated for non-tech people to grasp what this app is for and how to leverage its features.
