User [brasilikum](https://github.com/brasilikum) opened an issue on the main repo about how they had created an [iOS shortcut](https://github.com/hay-kot/mealie/issues/103) for interested users.
|
|
This original method broke after the transition to version 1.X and an issue was raised on [Github](https://github.com/hay-kot/mealie/issues/2092) GitHub user [Zippyy](https://github.com/zippyy) has helped to create a working shortcut for version 1.X.
|
|
|
|
This is a useful utility for iOS users who browse for recipes in their web browser from their devices.
|

|
Don't know what an iOS shortcut is? Neither did I! Experienced iOS users may already be familiar with this utility but for the uninitiated, here is the official Apple explanation:
|
|
|
|
> A shortcut is a quick way to get one or more tasks done with your apps. The Shortcuts app lets you create your own shortcuts with multiple steps. For example, build a “Surf Time” shortcut that grabs the surf report, gives an ETA to the beach, and launches your surf music playlist.
|
|
|
|
Basically it is a visual scripting language that lets a user build an automation in a guided fashion. The automation can be [shared with anyone](https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/cc568d1615bc4f998789f85d1ef74846) but if it is a user creation, you'll have to jump through a few hoops to make an untrusted automation work on your device.
|
|
|
|
This guide assumes that you already know how to [generate API tokens](https://hay-kot.github.io/mealie/documentation/users-groups/user-settings/#api-key-generation) for your user that intends to use an iOS shortcut.
|
|
|
|
First, click the [link](https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/cc568d1615bc4f998789f85d1ef74846) and begin the setup of the shortcut.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Next, you need to replace `url` and `port` with the information for your Mealie instance.
|
|
|
|
If you have a domain that you use (e.g. `https://mealie.example.com`), put that here. If you just run local, then you need to put in your Mealie instance IP and the port you use (e.g. the default is `9925`).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Finally, you need to replace the word `keyhere` with your API token. Keep the word `Bearer`!!!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You should now be able to share a website to the shortcut and have Mealie grab all the necessary information!
