Open or search the Shortcuts Gallery using a URL scheme on iPhone or iPad
Shortcuts offers two URL scheme options for interacting with the Gallery: one for opening the Gallery, and one for searching the Gallery. URL schemes can be used anywhere a URL can be used — your own app, in a web browser or in the command line.
Open the Gallery from a URL
Open a URL with the following structure:
shortcuts://gallery
Shortcuts opens, showing you the main page of the Gallery.
Search the Gallery from a URL
Open a URL with the following structure:
shortcuts://gallery/search?query=[query]
The
query
parameter determines the URL-encoded keywords to be searched in the Gallery.For example, if you want to send someone a link to explore shortcuts for photos available in the Gallery, you would instruct them to open
shortcuts://gallery/search?query=photos
