1. It's not Apple, it was Workflows that wrote the tool... I doubt Apple knows about it.
The app is "developed by Apple". They bought Workflow last year. Nothing in the gallery view suggests that this shortcut is provided by a third-party.

wrong
1. It's not Apple, it was Workflows that wrote the tool.
2. It's not an integration, it's an example of how to use Shortcuts.
3. The biggest pain point won't be bandwidth (OP seems to know what they're doing with caching) but fielding user requests/complaints/spam without the upside of the web traffic. iOS 12 has only been up for a few days and he's already getting a ukulele request. Tip of the iceberg.

This isn't "working together". This is someone at Workflows finding a neat, unauthenticated API endpoint and using it in a demo. I doubt Apple knows about it.
