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 went through half a dozen http request programs. none of them worked. this one is my savior. I needed to submit a http patch with json data and authentication. this app did it without breaking a sweat. I use it to submit api queries to my 3d printer using bambuddy. I then bind those quaries to a nfc tag and read it with my phone.

I use this as a remote for my projector. It works great, it never breaks even though they're always updating.

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.
