URL Scheme

Logger supports using a URL scheme to open the app and to get the logging status, allowing you to easily integrate it into other automations.

Viewing Logs

To open Logger and view logs, use shortcuts-logger://logs or shortcuts-logger://viewLogs.

You can add the following query parameters to the URL:

tag: Tag applied to the entry
search: Entries containing this text
contentType: JSON or Images
category: Entries with a specific category. Valid values are Info, Success, Warning, Error
device: ies logged by a device type. Valid values are iPhone, iPad, Mac

An example URL including all of these is:

shortcuts-logger://logs?tag=banana&search=fruit&contentType=JSON&category=Info&device=iPhone

Don't forget to URL encode tag names and your search text.

Get Logging Status

Calling shortcuts-logger://getLoggingStatus will return if logging is enabled or disabled. By default, it will call the x-success parameter URL with an enabled attribute set to true or false. E.g.

shortcuts-logger://getLoggingStatus?x-success=drafts://x-callback-url/create?text=Hello%20World

Will add &enabled=true to the success URL (if logging is enabled)¹.

If you would like to call x-success with a different parameter, you can specify a retParam parameter which will set the name of the parameter to return instead. E.g.

shortcuts-logger://getLoggingStatus?retParam=banana&x-success=drafts://x-callback-url/create?text=Hello%20World

Will add &banana=false to the success URL (if logging is disabled)¹.

Please note that the x-success parameters here have not been URL encoded to make it easier for you to read. ↩ ↩²
