URLScheme

Manages URL schemes for Scriptable.

Use URL schemes to launch the app and perform an action, such as running a script. The app conforms to the scriptable:// URL scheme. The following actions can be performed using the URL scheme.

Adding a script To add a new script, you should use the following URL scheme:

scriptable:///add

Opening a script To open an existing script, you should use the following URL scheme:

scriptable:///open/Example

The scriptName query parameter is the name of the script to open. scriptName must be URL encoded. You may optionally add the query parameter openSettings with a value of true to automatically open the script settings.

Running a script To run an existing script, you should use the following URL scheme:

scriptable:///run/Example

The scriptName query parameter is the name of the script to run. scriptName must be URL encoded.

If you set openEditor to true, the script will run with the editor shown opposed to running directly from the list of scripts. Opening the editor to run the script is beneficial in cases where you need to view messages logged to the console.

In addition to the scriptable:// scheme, you can also perform the above actions using the universal link open.scriptable.app, e.g. https://open.scriptable.app/run/Example
