Hello,
I am trying to create a shortcut to use the TubeArchivist api to archive YouTube videos. I've tried to send the request as text but it doesn't work because it expects an array I guess? I've gotten the request to work using CURL on the command line but when I try to add a value to an array in shortcuts the field is locked and won't accept any input.
I've done some searching across the wider internet for how to construct arrays in shortcuts but no matter what I attempt that field is always locked. Can it not accept any inputs? Confused how to actually put my structured data into it.
The URL that comes before it is the local host and port of the TubeArchivist server API endpoint.
I have no idea, but you say it's a GET request, but the screenshot shows a POST request.
If it's supposed to be a GET request, then the array needs to be encoded specific to the backend as there is no standardised way of passing an array in a query string (and it has to be query string because GET requests don't have a body).

What is the cURL command you have used that works? It might make it clear what isn't working
So I have a working solution! Might not be the most efficient but it works!
