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.

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.

This is an ultimate app for http shortcuts. Has heaps of features, doesn't open Chrome and show your links and passwords, can be secured to a particular wifi network and config of your shortcuts can be password protected. Developer thought through all the details. I hope it stays free but I'd gladly pay for it, if its status changes in the future. I use it to open gates via active uri command sent to Fanvil intercom access control device. Brilliant!
