I was wondering if anyone has tried to use iOS/mac Shortcuts to interact/create new fibery entities? I think that it is possible to call the api using “Get contents of” action, but I seem to get a server error (500 error). I tried to use a REST client on iOS and get the same results.
I am sure I am doing something wrong here but not sure what. I am not sure if there is a way of figuring out what is going wrong (i.e. some sort of logs visible to developers).

Hi,
You may start from [Fibery API](https://api.fibery.io/#entity) .

I would suggest getting whatever you are trying to do working in Postman and _then_ setting it up as a iOS/mac shortcut

I’ve checked iOS `Get Contents of` action (iOS 15.4.1)
As I got it there is no way to specify top level array, only object is available.
Unfortunately our commands API requires commands array even if you need to execute only one.
You may try `Run JavaScript on` action as it allows arbitrary javascript.
