MPMARKETPASTE← back to paste

Tap-tap appraisal.

On iPhone, take a screenshot of any listing and the Shortcut sends it here for a verdict — comes back as a notification with stars, offer, and scam-risk level. Assignable to Back Tap so the whole loop is screenshot → tap the back of your phone twice.

Build the Shortcut (one-time, ~3 minutes)

  1. Open the Shortcuts app on your iPhone. Tap the + in the top-right to create a new shortcut. Name it MarketPaste.
  2. Add action: Take Screenshot. (Alternative: Get Latest Screenshots if you want to run on your most recent screenshot rather than a fresh one.)
  3. Add action: Base64 Encode. Set input to the screenshot from the previous step.
  4. Add action: Get Contents of URL.
    • URL: https://marketpaste.com/api/shortcut/appraise
    • Method: POST
    • Headers:
      • AuthorizationBearer YOUR_TOKEN (paste the token from above)
      • Content-Typeapplication/json
    • Request Body: JSON. Add fields:
      • imageBase64 Encoded (from step 3)
      • modebuy (or flip)
  5. Add action: Get Dictionary Value. Value for: verdict. Dictionary: Contents of URL.
  6. Add action: Show Notification. Body: Dictionary Value (the verdict from step 5). Title: MarketPaste.
  7. Tap Done. The Shortcut is now available in your Shortcuts library.

Assign to Back Tap (optional but recommended)

  1. iPhone SettingsAccessibilityTouchBack Tap
  2. Pick Double Tap or Triple Tap, then scroll down to SHORTCUTS and select MarketPaste.
  3. Now: screenshot a listing → tap the back of your phone → the verdict lands as a notification ~60-90s later.

Response shape (for the tinkerers)

The endpoint returns compact JSON you can wire into other Shortcut actions:

{
  "dealId": "…",       // uuid — matches the entry in your Deal Diary
  "stars": 4,           // 1-5
  "title": "…",         // item title from the appraisal
  "verdict": "…",       // one-line advice (already trimmed to 240 chars)
  "voice": "…",         // short voice-comment (matches ticket UI)
  "fairOffer": 120,     // buy-mode dollar offer (null for flip)
  "netProfit": null,    // flip-mode dollar spread (null for buy)
  "scamLevel": "clear", // clear | caution | high
  "unpriced": false     // true when the listing had no asking price
}

Rate limits + coin costs match the paste desk: 1 coin per BUY IT, 2 per FLIP IT. Successful appraisals save to your Deal Diary automatically. Failures don't charge.

Android? The share-target flow is your path — install the PWA (Chrome menu → Add to home screen) and MarketPaste appears in your share sheet. iOS Safari doesn't support PWA share targets, which is why this Shortcut path exists.
