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.

Great App. There aren't any good functioning apps for Pi-Hole at the moment. With this app I was able to create widgets that send a POST to turn on or off ad filtering. The ability to create the widgets with this app is my favorite ability it has. I love that no apps need to open with them, I just get a little toast that says Pi-Hole disabled or enabled.

Fantastic App. Does exactly what it promises. Intuitive and well finished. I can hardly believe its free. I am using this with Node Red to provide one touch shortcuts to control appliances straight from my phone screen, without having to launce an app, go to a website etc. Highly recommended. The custom images facility, with an editor is a professional touch that makes the buttons instantly recognisable.
