URL Scheme [BETA]

Shortify Actions supports URL Scheme that enables to add content to it.

Base URL

The base URL for Shortify Actions is: ShortifyActions2://

Paths

There are two paths that are currently supported: /add and /addJSON

/add

The /add path lets you add just one action. To do so, you need to specify 3 parameters:

• name: String (must be URL encoded)
• url: String
• collection: String

The collection parameter must be one of these:

• Tracks
• Artists
• Albums
• Playlists
• Videos
• Web Links (must be URL encoded, so Web%20Links)

An example callback would be:

ShortifyActions2:///add?name=Let%20It%20Be&url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QDYfEBY9NM4&collection=Videos

/addJSON

The /addJSON path lets you add a collection of items. To use this path, you need to specify one parameters:

• items: JSON

The items parameter must be formatted this way:

{
    "items": [
        {
            "name": "Example%20Article",
            "url": "https://exampleArticle.com",
            "collection": "Web%20Links"
        },
        ...
    ]
}

Note that every item inside items has its own collection parameter, so you can add items to different collections.

An example callback would be:

ShortifyActions2:///items=
{  
   "items":[  
      {  
         "name":"Apple%20Publishes%20Videos%20Showcasing%20iPad%20Pro%20Workflows",
         "url":"https://www.macstories.net/news/apple-publishes-videos-showcasing-ipad-pro-workflows/",
         "collection":"Web%20Links"
      },
      {  
         "name":"Thinking%20Different%3A%20Keys%20to%20Adopting%20an%20iPad-First%20Workflow",
         "url":"https://www.macstories.net/stories/thinking-different-keys-to-adopting-an-ipad-first-workflow/",
         "collection":"Web%20Links"
      }
   ]
}
