Shorten URL (with Polr) - Shortcut for iOS (Unofficial)

[peterlewis]

In case anyone is interested, I've made Shortcut to shorten URLs with Polr via the Shortcuts app on iOS.

You can see more details, the download link and a video of the Shortcut in action at http://ptrl.ws/shorten-url - A few features of it are:

• Supports custom URLs
• Supports both 'public' and 'private' URLs
• Option to create a QR code of your shortened URL

The Shortcut uses iCloud Drive for credential storage and both the URL and API key can be found in BASE64 at the following location:

/Shortcuts/Shorten URL (with Polr)/config.json

Thanks to /u/tdevx for the nifty auto-update mechanism! It means that you'll be notified of all updates to the shortcut, without having to manually check! This works by checking a JSON file that is hosted on GitHub.

Before running the Shortcut I'd recommend to read through the workflow so that you are aware of and are comfortable with how it works.

If anyone has any feedback or suggestions then they would all would be gratefully received!
