Primary for Instagram URL Scheme Support

It was brought to our attention that we have never documented our URL scheme support beyond including it in version 3.0.2 release notes. Let’s correct that here.

URL scheme for Primary for Instagram: com.thinktapwork.primary://

Passing that alone will open the app. We’ve also included some actions to help get you where you’re going faster.

com.thinktapwork.primary://profile/*username* - replace *username* with the username you want to see and we’ll take you right to their profile.

com.thinktapwork.primary://list/*listname* - replace *listname* with the name of your custom list and we’ll take you right to it. Alternatively you can use _likes, _videos, or _unreadcomments to jump right to those built-in lists.

com.thinktapwork.primary://me - jump right to profile of the logged in user.

We hope you find these helpful. If there are specific URL shortcuts you would find useful please let us know on Twitter @thinktapwork. You can download Primary for Instagram on the App Store.

Already over a year old, but nevertheless still full of gems is this post from Eric Pramono on Geeks With Juniors introducing the basic as well as the really advanced possibilities Fantastical 2 and it's natural language processing offers.

There are great examples of how to use TextExpander snippets when creating events or reminders (even fill-in snippets are supported by Fantastical 2 on iOS). Another intriguing idea is to use URL schemes in events or reminders for further automation like touch to dial your lunch appointment to tell him that you'll be 5 minutes late.

I have certainly saved Eric's article into Evernote for future reference.

[Gerty] Make Gerty work with other apps using URL schemes

You can get Gerty free on the App Store here.

These URL schemes allow other applications to send commands to Gerty including those to create new journal entries. Before using entry creation commands, it is useful to understand how journal entries work in Gerty.

Unlike general-purpose journaling apps, entries in Gerty must be associated with a book. Gerty supports two types of books: EPUB books stored in Gerty’s eBooks library, and “placeholders” stored in Gerty’s “More books” library. Placeholders are simply virtual publications for any non-EPUB books you’d like to keep a journal for. They could be paper books, books on your Kindle device or an eInk reader, or magazines.

Note: parameter {values} must be URL-encoded. Gerty will take care of decoding them.

Launch Gerty from another app

gerty://

When called by an app, this command simply launches or switches to Gerty.

Creating a journal entry

gerty://addentry?title={book title}&author={book author}&text={entry text}&prompt=1&callback={url to callback app}

If both the book title and author parameters are specified, a journal entry is created and associated with a placeholder/virtual book having that title and author. If a placeholder book having the specified title and author doesn’t exist, it will be created.

If the book title and/or the author parameter is missing, a journal entry is created and associated with the most recently used eBook or placeholder/virtual book. If you don't have any recently used books, this command is ignored. In this mode, if you pass the prompt parameter with a value of 1, the new entry dialog will prompt you to choose a book to associate the entry with.

If a callback url is specified, Gerty will execute it when the entry creation page is closed.

Creating a journal entry with a photo (paste method)

gerty://pastephoto?text={text}&prompt=1&callback={url to callback app}

Creates a journal entry with a photo that you copied to the clipboard. If the text parameter is specified, that text is included in the new entry. The journal entry is created and associated with the most recently used eBook or placeholder/virtual book. 

This command is ignored if:

The clipboard is empty or doesn’t contain a photo.

There is no recently used eBook or placeholder/virtual book.

The prompt parameter is optional. If you set the prompt parameter to 1, the new entry dialog will prompt you to choose a book to associate the entry with.

If a callback url is specified, Gerty will execute it when the entry creation page is closed.

Creating a journal entry with a photo (camera roll method)

gerty://lastphoto?text={text}&prompt=1&callback={url to callback app}

Creates a journal entry with the latest photo you have saved in your camera roll. If the text parameter is specified, that text is included in the new entry. The journal entry is created and associated with the most recent used eBook or placeholder/virtual book. 

This command is ignored if:

The camera roll contains no photos.

There is no recently used eBook or placeholder/virtual book.

The prompt parameter is optional. If you set the prompt parameter to 1, the new entry dialog will prompt you to choose a book to associate the entry with.

If a callback url is specified, Gerty will execute it when the entry creation page is closed.

Enjoy!

iPhone URL URL Schemes

* Communicating with Other Apps & Implementing Custom URL Schemes

Note: If more than one third-party app registers to handle the same URL scheme, there is currently no process for determining which app will be given that scheme.

=> 이미 같은 url scheme 이 등록되어 있었다면, 나중에 설치된 app 은 url scheme 이 등록이 안된다. 그래서 다른 앱이 지워져도, 나중에 설치된 app 이 url scheme 으로 실행이 안된다.

=> scheme 에 "_" 문자열이 들어가면 안되더라...
