Don’t include the brackets. So if your cloud id is 123456789, the URL should be:

```auto
https://123456789.homey.athom.com/api/app/com.internet/testbericht/12345

```

(the `testbericht/12345` are the same from [my example](https://community.homey.app/t/using-siri-for-flow-activation/6170/11))

I get this when using that url:

Okay, so apparently this isn’t possible anymore on v2, only local access is still working.

The great @Rocodamelshekima found out that it works with this URL:

```auto
https://123456789.connect.athom.com/api/app/com.internet/testbericht/12345

```

Just tested this url in “Shortcuts” and it’s working like it should.  
Only thing i can think of u need to log in first but that’s just a wild guess.
