💌 Send to Hydrus

Share files and URLs on Android into Hydrus Client API

🛠️ Setup

• Download HTTP Shortcuts
• Under "Import / Export", choose "Import from URL", enter
  https://github.com/Wyrrrd/send-to-hydrus/releases/latest/download/shortcuts.zip
• On first use, this will ask for your Hydrus ClientAPI URL and walk you through API key generation, but you can also set the variables hydrus_url and hydrus_api_key manually

🔑 Permissions

The API key needs file and URL permissions for this to work its magic.

If you are using the older, URL-only version, your API key will not have the file permission. To fix this, remove the API key in Hydrus and clear the variable hydrus_api_key. On next use, this will help you setup a new API key with the correct permissions.

🤲 Usage

Easy way (this is what you are here for)

• Share the URL or file from whatever menu you normally use, as if you would send it to a friend.
• Choose "HTTP Shortcuts" from the apps list.
• ...
• Profit (?)

Complicated way

• Open HTTP Shortcuts
• Press "Send URL" / "Send file"
• Copy and Paste URL / Choose file to send
• Press "OK"
