I'm trying to implement your code through iOS Shortcuts app using Safari browser.

I see. I am not familiar with the "iOS Shortcuts app", but it sounds like a specific use-case that we do not directly support.

Obviously, this is an open-source script and you may use it in every which way that meets the terms of its license, but be aware that we may not be able to provide much assistance in case of issues with specific set-ups.

What I can say that might help is that it seems like either you don't have access to the global Location interface which itself is part of the browser's Window interface.
Or you might not have access to Window at all, as it depends on the environment you are running the code in (browser / node / etc...).

With that being said, we only use the global Location interface for 2 things and both of them could be omitted without really breaking the script.
You can achieve this by cloning the repository, searching the code for uses of "location", removing them, and then building the code yourself, thus creating a version of the script that suits your specific needs.

However, if you decide to pursue this option, you should be aware that:

Upon future updates to the original script, you'll be responsible for re-creating your own version if you want to be updated with the latest features of the script.
There might still be other uses of global interfaces that you may not have access to either.

Due to the reasons explained above, I am closing the issue.
If you have any more questions, feel free to comment them :)
