Share to Hey.Café URL

We provide a URL to share content directly to Hey.Café, and it can be used by external services and scripts. For example, here is an Apple shortcut that adds the action to the share sheet on iOS, iPadOS, and macOS: https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/9e99fb0a7c9d4a0b9552926d0839b360

Conversations

hey.cafe/share/conversation/DATAHERE

Replace DATAHERE in the URL with content encoded in base64 for URL safety. You can also remove conversation/ and it will default to sharing the content as a conversation.

This example will share the text "Hello world!": hey.cafe/share/conversation/SGVsbG8gd29ybGQh

Comments

hey.cafe/share/comment/CONVERSATIONID

This URL can be used for buttons to create comments using the Hey.Café system like we use in our Simple Blogging platform. You can also provide a URL encoded in base64 after the conversation ID to be the return URL. If a return URL is not provided, we will use the referral. If that fails, we show a message to the user that they can close the window.

Auto encode

If you don’t have the ability to Base64 encode your data you can also use this URL that will do that for you any text you pass to it

If you don't have the ability to encode your data in base64, you can use this URL and replace "your text here": hey.cafe/sharer/?text=your text here
