HTTP Get as Shortcut

[Andreiva]

Hi,
Is there an easy to follow example for making a shortcut that just does an HTTP GET request at an url?
My plan is to make the volume up/down shortcuts call the flash server I have set up that will then send the proper CAN message to the car to turn the volume up or down, since I am using the car's builtin bluetooth for the actual music/voice streaming.

Hello,

One possible way to do this is by using Hudiy API and Python. You can use the API to register a custom action that is then dispatched by a shortcut. Next, you can handle this action dispatch in Python and execute your HTTP request. Examples of how to register and handle custom actions can be found on our GitHub:

That's very helpful, thank you!
Do I need to add any handling for if the python scrips starts before Hudiy is up and running?

Hudiy API is provided over TCP or WebSocket. If your script launches before Hudiy, ensure it has retry logic to reconnect until the Hudiy is active. A simple 'retry every x seconds' approach will work. You can find an implementation of this simple mechanism in the idle_screen example mentioned earlier.
