Share API - Developer Tools - Shareaholic " rel="nofollow" class="external" title="Post this to Identica">Use the Web Share API to share content to 200+ supported destinations.
100% free to use, reliable, fast. Used by millions every day.
Get More Traffic
Enable your visitors to share articles, comments, purchases or other activities from your site to their friends on multiple social networks. You've already got customers that love your product or service. Profit from helping them tell the world about it. The Share API is free to use, and helps you grow your bottom line and traffic without growing your marketing budget.
Share API Documentation
Shareaholic provides social APIs to connect your site or application to each of the major social networks for sharing. If you can’t use the Shareaholic JavaScript SDK, you can link to these API endpoints directly. With these APIs you can customize the social sharing experience for your users to match the look and feel of your site or application.
Designed for Ease
All API methods are accessible via simple HTTP calls. We have optimized for ease of implementation, so you won’t see anything complicated. Most implementations of this API take less than 15 minutes to setup. Simply hit the provided URLs with their respective parameters, and you're done.
Getting Started: Authentication
All API endpoints require authentication credentials to be supplied as query arguments. To get started, you'll need a free Shareaholic user account and Site ID. Signup for an account and then add your site to get your Site ID. The Site ID is your API Key.
Example:
...&apikey=8943b7fd64cd8b1770ff5affa9a9437b&...
Note: the apikey used in this document is intended for use as an example only.
Share Content with over 200+ (and growing!) Destination Services
Let your users share content from any website, desktop app, mobile app, etc to any supported destination service.

Give it a try: Post to Facebook
Notes:
link,short_link,title, andnotesparameters should be URL-encoded, plain text, no HTML, UTF-8. You can not include a parameter value in the request that has '&', '?', '#', ' ', or other reserved parameters without first encoding it.- Parameters should not contain spaces: any parameter with spaces will be rejected. All spaces should be either percent encoded (%20) or plus encoded (+). Note that tabs, newlines and trailing spaces are all indications of errors. Please remember to strip leading and trailing whitespace from any user input before posting.
- Parameters must have a slash between the domain and the path component. For example, http://example.com?query=parameter is invalid, and instead should be formatted as http://example.com/?query=parameter
linkparameter value should be a complete URL and not a shortened link (like a bit.ly short link). You should always pass shortened links (ex. you may want to do this for Twitter) through theshort_linkparameter.
Link Tracking & URL Shorteners
Shareaholic can automatically shorten the
linkfor you using a supported shortening service that you specify....&shortener=google...
We currently support the following shorteners/parameter values:
Shortener Description google tinyurl bitly jmp shrlc Default none Do not shorten link You can further customize this option with your own bit.ly or j.mp account if you'd like by passing the
shortener_keyparameter. If you pass this, the API will use your key to shorten the link....&shortener=bitly&shortener_key=shareaholic|R_83932e4c5d02d1f94aea0f40fbc557ec&...
shortener_keyformat: username|apikey (i.e. delimited by "|"). For su.pr, you just need to pass your apikey.Note that this setting will only shorten links for services where it is appropriate (i.e. sharing to Twitter, but not bookmarking in Google Bookmarks or Delicious).
Templates i.e. customize your Tweets
By specifying the
templateAPI parameter, you can customize the default post format for services that support templates. Specifying atemplateis completely optional. The following services currently support templates:The Share API supports a few different tokens in a template — you can use all, some, or none of them:
Template Token Description ${title} Title of the page ${link} Link to the page ${short_link} Short link that you pass to the Share API ${notes} Any text; usually a very short summary of the link or user selected text Sample
templatefor Twitter:...&template=Reading: ${title} (${short_link}) via @Shareaholic %23api %23devtools&...Result:
Give it a try: Tweet this!
Tags (describe your content)
Use the optional
tagsAPI parameter to further describe the content/URL being shared. Amongst many other benefits, you will get back more useful analytics tracking reports as a result.tagstakes a set of comma-separated values (CSV) with no trailing comma. Commas inside tag values MUST be URL encoded (as %2C) and commas separating tags MUST NOT be encoded. For example, the tags "python", "conference" and "Boston, MA" should be passed as:...&tags=python,conference,boston%2Cma&...
You can pass in as many tags as you'd like, but we've found 3-5 to be most optimal.
