Hi: I've got an action extension through the Workflow App that calls and runs the following URL-shortening (via Bitly) Pythonista script:

import requests
import json
import clipboard
import webbrowser
import console

LongURL = str(clipboard.get())

query_params = {'access_token' : 'MYTOKEN',
                'longUrl' : str(clipboard.get())}
                
endpoint = 'https://api-ssl.bitly.com/v3/shorten'
response = requests.get(endpoint, params= query_params)

data = json.loads(response.content)

if data['status_code'] != 500:
	clipboard.set(data['data']['url'])
	webbrowser.open('safari-'+LongURL)

if data['status_code'] == 500:
	alert = console.alert('URL already shortened!', 'Return to Safari?', 'Safari', hide_cancel_button=True)
	if alert == 0:
		webbrowser.open('safari-'+LongURL)

Is there a URL scheme that will just open Safari in iOS to the last opened tab/page? That is, I currently can't figure out a way to return to Safari after running the Pythonista action without telling Safari to open either a blank page or a specific page (in this case, the initial URL that I shortened, to prevent my returning to Safari from counting as a link view).

I've tried safari-http://a to see if that would work, to no avail. Any help is appreciated!

Hey Folks,

I'm having a hard time figuring out my workflow, here. My goal is this:

• Visit any webpage (specifically those with 'www.' subdomain)
• Hit javascript bookmarklet
• Bookmarklet sends domain name to Editorial, which strips 'www.' from domain
  • Some of my 1p website fields do not have the 'www.' in them, and won't be found (i.e. 'www.google.com' does not pull up 'google.com')
• Editorial sends stripped text to 1p as search.

Here's what I have so far.

###Bookmarklet

javascript:window.location='editorial://?command=1pSearch&input='+window.location.hostname

The command runs, but it just runs the command on an empty input, it seems. That is, 1p launches with a blank search.

###1pSearch Workflow

Here's the link to my workflow.

Any help is appreciated!

Ah, took me some time to figure out how to script that with JS, but you're right, it works better that way. If anybody is interested, here's my bookmarklet:

javascript:text=window.location.hostname;if(/www\./.test(text)){text=text.replace(/www\./,"");window.location='onepassword://search/'+text;}else{window.location='onepassword://search/'+text;}

Thanks for the quick response, Ole!

Okay, so bear in mind, I'm very new to python, Pythonista, and coding in general. [e.g. halfway through Udacity's Intro to Comp Sci course new.] So I will understand if the best answer is to my question is "play around with it until it works".

Right now, I have the following set up:

-PushMenu [https://github.com/kalcher/pushmenu] allows me to send text from the OS X pasteboard to my iOS devices via Growl + Prowl [www.prowlapp.com]

-Prowl [which is able to launch custom URL schemes upon receiving a notification] opens the push notification containing the text that was sent over by PushMenu

At this point, I have to open Prowl, select the text, and paste it into whatever place I need it. I would LIKE to have a Pythonista script that Prowl can auto-launch upon receiving a push notification. I imagine it would act as follows:

-Get content of push notification [Prowl's API seems to allow this in conjunction with some python libraries that were created, though I'm not proficient at weeding through APIs: http://www.prowlapp.com/api.php and https://github.com/babs/pyrowl]

-Copy content to iOS clipboard

Once these steps are done, I imagine I could either just navigate to the app I wish to use the clipboard in, or perhaps send it to a Drafts/Launch Center Pro action.

Again, I realize I'm basically doing an entire script request here, so if that's too much work don't worry about it. That being said, it would be great to have a (relatively) seamless way to transfer clipboards from OS X to iOS. If anybody has any advice/suggestions regarding how this could be done or why it can't be, I would greatly appreciate it! TIA

Right you are. Thanks!

I currently have two scripts in Pythonista that work great: one adds iOS clipboard to .txt file in Dropbox, the other adds contents of .txt file in Dropbox to iOS clipboard. I am using this to "sync" clipboards between iOS and OS X. I am also attempting to use LaunchCenterPro to run the two scripts.

However, whenever I select the scripts in LaunchCenterPro, I get the following error message:

http://d.pr/i/sygG [Not Found: You have no script with the name 'CBtoDB.py' in your library.]

(I also get this note when I am creating an iOS desktop shortcut to actions using 'http://omz-software.com/pythonista/shortcut'.)

Does anybody know what is going on? As you can see in my screenshot, I clearly do have a file named 'CBtoDB'...so what gives? Why is '.py' being appended to my action names? Thanks!

@ccc @filippocld wow, you two rock! Thank you so much. I will fiddle with it this afternoon and try to get it all set up with the Prowl api and such. There's a high chance I may come crawling back, begging for help...but I will try not to. :)

filippocld: I would love to make it myself (and share it!) but as I said, I'm very new to both python and Pythonista. I don't really understand what sort of functions/libraries I need to use/to import to do this. In other words, I can see most of the pieces to the puzzle (at least I think I can..), but I have no idea how to begin fitting them together.
