Relatedly, it may also potentially be useful to be able to return these values like you can with mood and custom tags.

I’m not sure what you mean by this, can you give me an example?

Sure! For example, a shortcut would be able to retrieve the current value for an attribute - say I had a shortcut called “Get ‘XYZ’s today”, which would get the current ‘XYZ’ value from Exist and return it.

I see, thanks for clarifying. This suggestion is about shortcuts for getting data into Exist. For getting data out of Exist, it would make sense to do this with the iOS Shortcuts app and our API.

Another possible perspective -

Although that is _a possible solution, the beauty of shortcuts is that they break down the developer/user barrier.

With shortcuts most people can knock up what they want. I’ve been a developer for 20+ years with a uni degree, and OAUTH still drives me nuts. If the API key had static token-based auth, that may be easier, but OAUTH makes sense as it’s the way it’s done.
