ShareThis Platform API
Manage ShareThis properties, tools, and apps with a our API.
ShareThis Platform API lets you create website properties, verify domain ownership, configure ShareThis apps, and inspect live tool output through secure REST APIs with bearer token authentication. Existing customers can sign in with their current account, while new users can sign up to get started.

PLATFORM
The API layer for managing ShareThis website tools.
The ShareThis Platform API is built for authenticated integrations that need to manage ShareThis account resources programmatically. Create website properties, validate domain ownership, configure ShareThis tools, and inspect the currently saved app output from your own application or backend workflow.
Property management
Create properties for domains, list account properties, retrieve property details, and validate ownership through a domain-hosted verification file.
App configuration
Create, update, inspect, list, and remove ShareThis app configurations, including inline share buttons, sticky share buttons, inline follow buttons, and inline reaction buttons.
Secure authentication
Authenticate with a ShareThis account and send protected requests with bearer tokens. API calls are scoped to the authenticated user’s accessible properties.
REST-first integration
Use predictable REST endpoints to create properties, validate domains, and manage ShareThis tools from your own application or backend workflow.
Live saved runtime
Generate a liveview document that loads the saved ShareThis runtime for a property, so your integration can inspect what is currently configured.
Predictable schemas
Structured request and response shapes make it easier for REST clients to call endpoints reliably and interpret results consistently.
REFERENCE

Inline Teilen Buttons
Add share buttons directly into page content with configurable networks, alignment, size, spacing, labels, colors, counts, and mobile behavior.
sticky-share-buttons
Sticky Teilen Buttons
Configure floating share buttons with placement, toggle behavior, total counts, labels, network selection, sizing, and mobile display options.
inline-follow-buttons
Inline Follow Buttons

QUICKSTART
From account access to configured ShareThis tools in minutes.
Use the REST API to authenticate, select a property, validate ownership, and manage ShareThis tools from your own application or backend workflow.
1
Authenticate your account
Use the login endpoint to obtain a bearer token, then include it in protected API requests for properties and apps.
2
Create or select a property
Create a new website property, list existing properties, or retrieve a property by ID before configuring ShareThis tools on that domain.
3
Configure and inspect apps
Use app endpoints to add, update, retrieve, delete, or preview ShareThis tools. Supported app IDs include inline-share-buttons, sticky-share-buttons, inline-follow-buttons, and inline-reaction-buttons.
