Great product!

I don't think this exists now.

Could you add the capability to call an http:// Api string from a shortcut?

You can do that now if you want to work around it.
You can send commands via AutoHotKey, and assign the shortcut to the AutoHotKey script.

I found an old scoreboard script I put together that uses an actual AutoHotKey GUI, that with each update, sends info to vMix through the web API.

Try this...
Install AutoHotKey if not already.
Create a new AHK script, and paste the above code as it's content and save on your desktop.
Double click the newly created script to run it, and it will display the GUI.
Open one of the default scoreboards, return to the gui, and change the score values to see them change in vMix.
That of course is it will work if you have the correct web Controller port settings. Mine is 8088 as shown in the script. I used the Local host IP address that will work as long as the gui is on the same machine as vmix.

At a bare minimum, you could use this...
Quote:

Input=1
HomeScore=7
Url = http://127.0.0.1:8088/api/?Function=SetText&Input=%Input%&SelectedName=HomeScore&Value=%HomeScore%
URL2Var(Url)
Return

URL2Var(URL) {
ComObjError(0)
WebRequest := ComObjCreate("WinHttp.WinHttpRequest.5.1")
WebRequest.Open("GET", URL)
WebRequest.Send()
Return WebRequest.ResponseText()
, ComObjError(0)
}

When you double click the script with this code, it will change the home score to 7 no matter what it was previously.

One more example.
This one will take over the M key however, so you want to kill it after playing with it.

when you press the M key, it will cause vMix to "merge between the preview and active panes.

Quote:
#Persistent ; Keeps script running in taskbar
return ; Forces script to wait for an action to occur

m:: ; You pressed the "M" key
Url = http://127.0.0.1:8088/api/?Function=Merge
URL2Var(Url) ; send the URL above to the function below
Return ; end of the M key function

URL2Var(URL) { ; This delivers the URL over the web to vMix
ComObjError(0)
WebRequest := ComObjCreate("WinHttp.WinHttpRequest.5.1")
WebRequest.Open("GET", URL)
WebRequest.Send()
Return WebRequest.ResponseText()
, ComObjError(0)
}
