This shortcut simplifies the process of generating a Philips Hue API key and saves it in a file which can easily be referenced by other shortcuts.

Big thanks to @entee for the inspiration with their original Hue API key generation shortcut

Instructions
1. Run the shortcut
2. Press the button on your hue bridge

And that’s it. This will save a file in iCloud under /shortcuts/rda/HueRL.txt that you can reference in other Hue shortcuts.

Philips’s API documentation can help give you some ideas on things you can do with an API key. See my other shortcuts for examples
