[Feature] Macrodroid API linking

[Ayagikei]

Hello, our APIs design is currently a generic design.

APIs calls are jumped through URL Schemes, and event callbacks support broadcasting 📢 events.

This means we don't need to do special adaptations for Tasker/Macrodroid or other automated tools.

As long as they support both of the above features. We have verified that Macrodroid supports calling APIs.

Regarding event broadcasting (which is also called "received intents" in Tasker), we will add it to the document after simple verification.

Hello again, and thanks for replying too quickly.

I was quite sure it Does exist, but unfortunately I didn't figure it out myself..
I'm looking forward to see an example in your next document's update.
Thanks again !

Hi, very sorry for the late reply.

Here is the usage tutorial, we take the query coin API as an example:

1. Create a item and add API effects: lifeup://api/query?key=coin&broadcast=app.lifeup.query.coin

Because this is for use with automation tools, you need to add the "broadcast" parameter to send the intent as a broadcast. (Automated tools generally only accept this type of intent). The value of the broadcast parameter can be any string, which is only used to distinguish broadcast types.

2. Open Macrodroid, switch to the Macros tab, create a new Macro, and name it something.
3. Add a trigger: Device Events -> Intent Received
4. Configure this trigger
   Action: app.lifeup.query.coin (action is the value of the broadcast parameter above)
   Extra name: value (Sourced from API Documentation)
   Extra value to match: * (we match all values)
   Save to variable: coin_value (Name it arbitrarily, here is just an example)
5. Add an action Notification -> Popup Message
6. Configure this action
   Pop up message: coin value is {lv=coin_value} (Macrodroid will replace the {lv=coin_value} as the real value)
7. Save the macro.

After using the item, you should see the current value pop up from the Macrodroid.
The final configuration effect can be viewed in the screenshot I uploaded.

I tested the command and it worked! I also made another step, to convert the string value to an integer variable. Thanks again for your help! Best regards

Sure!
Feel free to contact us anytime :D
We will also continue to update and maintain LifeUp, which still has a lot of room for improvement and development plans.

I'll update that step into the documentation later.
