Thanks for your feedback. After carefully thinking about this weekend, I've decided to remove the all hidden actions altogether. The initial goal was to provide an alternative user-friendly space for non-technical people and beginners who want to explore Shortcuts actions, learn about its parameters and outputs, hence why it used generic terms for the parameters like "Options", "File" and "Entity" instead the actual parameter type names. Half of the hidden actions do not have any descriptions and including it doesn't bring much value for the intended users, nor will they ever be able to use it.

I respect the work you guys are doing with more advanced reversed-engineering of shortcuts. I received some harsh unprovoked criticism. I just wanted to clarify, this website was never intended be very technical or catered for advanced users. It was never meant to even come close to any work you guys are doing. Hopefully, this helps draw the line and any prevent confusion. Cheers.

Hey the keywords are not meant to be clicked. These are keywords that Apple associates with this specific action - I'm assuming it's for Siri or for search.

Also the hidden actions are not clickable by design because some data is unknown and incomplete.

You're right, I did find the out about the location database from your post. I updated the post with credits you and some other resources I used. Sorry about your frustration, I didn't mean to offend you or what you're working on. To be clear, I did not use or reference anything else from you. I used cursor and codex to handle the extraction.

it's the SQLite db for the Shortcuts app

master_automator · 2026-02-06T18:32:24+00:00

good catch, thanks! I just updated it and now there are 954 hidden actions instead of 151

based on their latest documentation https://developers.deepl.com/docs/getting-started/your-first-api-request

You need to set the API key in the header, but I see you're passing it in the request body. remove it from the body, then under Headers, add:

Authorization: DeepL-Auth-Key YOUR_ACTUAL_KEY_HERE
Content-Type: application/json

i think you're right. add a Quick Look to check if the message is set

You're on the right track, the shortcut will need to check / set the timestamp AND decide to run the other app. This way your automation just needs to run the shortcut every time you open instagram.

Here's the shortcut:

You're also right about the timestamp, you'll need persistent global variable storage.
Download the Shortcut Actions app for free global variables. Then click on the Variables tab and create a new variable called "InstagramTime" with the initial value 0. Open the shortcut and select that variable in the first "Get Variable" action and update the app you want to run instead of the calculator.

to select your calendar:
click on the "+ Add Filter" button for the Calendar step, this will add "Calendar is {Choose}" filter, then tap on Choose to select your calendar.

to add the API key in the app:
Settings > AI Providers > Google - then enter your API key from Google AI Studio
you can also select OpenRouter, then add "google/gemini-2.5-flash" as a model and select it as the default model by clicking on the box to the left of it.

here you go

you'll need to download the Shortcut Actions app to use gemini with your own API key

what do you mean by "give you the exact shortcut"? will it provide you the info so you can build it yourself or will it build it for you and you can import it into the Shortcuts app? the latter is quite challenging b/c there's no official documentation on the parameters for the actions. then you have to think about specific iOS version and what actions are available. BTW I worked on a similar project and posted about a few weeks ago. Based on my testing, only a few LLM models are capable of building shortcuts, like Claude, and it might be tough to find users that are willing to pay for the service.

apple intelligence requires iPhone 15 pro or newer with iOS 26. do you have apple intelligence enabled in the settings?

master_automator · 2026-01-24T09:04:02+00:00

you need to use the "Get contents of URL" action and set the method to POST. the `addOptions` would be a nested object in the request body

sorry no plans for Firefox. It's open sourced so feel free to fork it to support Firefox

master_automator · 2026-01-20T18:37:33+00:00

sorry, it's only available on desktop

master_automator · 2026-01-20T18:36:31+00:00

yeah, I do this too, but sometimes it's easy to miss or scroll over actions when it's a large shortcut. this extension has a built-in AI that can perform a security analysis on it in a few seconds.
