Overview

This shortcuts allows you to easily query the WolframAlpha API.

To perform a query, a Shortcut needs to pass the following items to WolframAlphaKit:

• the input (e.g. a question, query or calculation);
• an optional JSONPath query (to return one or more specific result from the JSON response).

API keys

WolframAlpha requires you to sign up for an key in order to use it's API. They offer a free tier for its API that allows for up to 2,000 queries a month.
