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

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.

Finally an app that can handle the simple task of making a curl request when pushing a home screen widget. Thank you! Tried some automation apps but none of them worked as I wanted. But with this app all it takes is a tap on a home screen widget and the curl request gets send. No hassle, no unnecessary hoops to jump through

Great app, however recent android update removed ability to add shortcuts in app action in bixby routines !!! I don't know if this is something you can fix or its down to samsung 😞. I was using this feature a lot. EDIT: this now works flawlessly, not sure when was fixed, and if in app itself.
