So I have a working solution! Might not be the most efficient but it works!

I am trying to create a shortcut to use the TubeArchivist api to archive YouTube videos. I’ve tried to send the request as text but it doesn’t work because it expects an array I guess? I’ve gotten the request to work using CURL on the command line but when I try to add a value to an array in shortcuts the field is locked and won’t accept any input.

I’ve done some searching across the wider internet for how to construct arrays in shortcuts but no matter what I attempt that field is always locked. Can it not accept any inputs? Confused how to actually put my structured data into it.

The URL that comes before it is the local host and port of the TubeArchivist server API endpoint.

OMG. So my phrasing was not great. The "Get" was for the shortcut not the intended Method. Your screenshot helped me to see how to construct the array though . . . if my command line argument looks like this '{"data": [{"youtube_id": "dH_crMm_7Po", "status": "pending"}]}' would I need 3 separate items? I think I have something to play with and test now :)

I made an account just to say thanks for this. I’ve been using Volumio for years and never messed with plug-ins. Been playing with sub Sonic and navidrome for a few months and combining the two is awesome.
