HTTP Request Shortcuts

Create home screen shortcuts that trigger arbitrary HTTP requests

Place shortcuts (widgets) on your home screen to submit HTTP requests to all your favorite RESTful APIs, webservices and other URL resources. Great for home automation projects!

HTTP and HTTPS

GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, PATCH, HEAD, OPTIONS and TRACE

Basic Authentication, Digest Authentication & Bearer Authentication

Custom request headers

Custom request body (text only)

Upload files as form-data

Option to accept all certificates (if you know what you're doing)

Support for HTTP proxies

Built-in icons, support for Ipack icons and custom icons

Display response as a toast, window or dialog, or run silently

Grouping into categories through tabs

Value injection through variables (e.g., text, numbers, passwords, selections, colors, dates, …)

Run arbitrary JavaScript before & after execution, including special actions (e.g., vibrate, show toast, parse and process response…)

Import & Export in JSON or cURL format

3rd party integration (e.g. Tasker)

Themes (with Dark Mode support)

Some ideas what to use HTTP shortcuts for:

Execute a script on your web server

Control your home automation system and IoT devices

Interact with your RaspberryPi and Arduino tinkering projects

Automate workflows

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.
