Create a shared link to a file
this endpoint is available in Alfresco 5.2 and newer versions.
Create a shared link to the file nodeId in the request body. Also, an optional expiry date could be set, so the shared link would become invalid when the expiry date is reached. For example:
{
"nodeId": "1ff9da1a-ee2f-4b9c-8c34-3333333333",
"expiresAt": "2017-03-23T23:00:00.000+0000"
}
Note: You can create shared links to more than one file specifying a list of nodeIds in the JSON body like this:
[
{
"nodeId": "1ff9da1a-ee2f-4b9c-8c34-4444444444"
},
{
"nodeId": "1ff9da1a-ee2f-4b9c-8c34-5555555555"
}
]
If you specify a list as input, then a paginated list rather than an entry is returned in the response body. For example:
{
"list": {
"pagination": {
"count": 2,
"hasMoreItems": false,
"totalItems": 2,
"skipCount": 0,
"maxItems": 100
},
"entries": [
{
"entry": {
}
},
{
"entry": {
}
}
]
}
}
Parameters
Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
sharedLinkBodyCreate | SharedLinkBodyCreate | The nodeId to create a shared link for. |
opts.include | string[] | Returns additional information about the shared link, the following optional fields can be requested: allowableOperations , path , properties , isFavorite , aspectNames |
opts.fields | string[] | A list of field names. You can use this parameter to restrict the fields returned within a response if, for example, you want to save on overall bandwidth. The list applies to a returned individual entity or entries within a collection. If the API method also supports the include parameter, then the fields specified in the include parameter are returned in addition to those specified in the fields parameter. |
Return type: SharedLinkEntry
Example
import { AlfrescoApi, SharedlinksApi } from '@alfresco/js-api';
const alfrescoApi = new AlfrescoApi(/*..*/);
const sharedlinksApi = new SharedlinksApi(alfrescoApi);
const sharedLinkBodyCreate = {};
const opts = {};
sharedlinksApi.createSharedLink(sharedLinkBodyCreate, opts).then((data) => {
console.log('API called successfully. Returned data: ' + data);
});
Deletes a shared link
this endpoint is available in Alfresco 5.2 and newer versions.
Parameters
Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
sharedId | string | The identifier of a shared link to a file. |
Example
import { AlfrescoApi, SharedlinksApi } from '@alfresco/js-api';
const alfrescoApi = new AlfrescoApi(/*..*/);
const sharedlinksApi = new SharedlinksApi(alfrescoApi);
sharedlinksApi.deleteSharedLink(`<sharedId>`).then(() => {
console.log('API called successfully.');
});
Email shared link
this endpoint is available in Alfresco 5.2 and newer versions.
Sends email with app-specific url including identifier sharedId.
The client and recipientEmails properties are mandatory in the request body. For example, to email a shared link with minimum info:
{
"client": "myClient",
"recipientEmails": ["john.doe@acme.com", "joe.bloggs@acme.com"]
}
A plain text message property can be optionally provided in the request body to customise the email being sent. Also, a locale property can be optionally provided in the request body to send the emails in a particular language (if the locale is supported by Alfresco). For example, to email a shared link with a messages and a locale:
{
"client": "myClient",
"recipientEmails": ["john.doe@acme.com", "joe.bloggs@acme.com"],
"message": "myMessage",
"locale":"en-GB"
}
The client must be registered before you can send a shared link email. See [server documentation]. However, out-of-the-box share is registered as a default client, so you could pass share as the client name:
{
"client": "share",
"recipientEmails": ["john.doe@acme.com"]
}
Parameters

---|---|---|
sharedId | string | The identifier of a shared link to a file. |

const sharedlinksApi = new SharedlinksApi(alfrescoApi);
const sharedLinkBodyEmail = {};
sharedlinksApi.emailSharedLink(`<sharedId>`, sharedLinkBodyEmail).then(() => {
console.log('API called successfully.');
});
