Shares APIs
Adobe may add optional request and response members (name/value pairs) to existing API objects at any time and without notice or changes in versioning. Adobe recommends that you refer to the API documentation of any third-party tool you integrate with our APIs so that such additions are ignored in processing if not understood. If implemented properly, such additions are non-breaking changes for your implementation. Adobe will not remove parameters or add required parameters without first providing standard notification through release notes.
The CJA Shares APIs allow you to retrieve, update, or create shares and their association with components programmatically through Adobe Developer. The APIs use the same data and methods that are used when working with shares in the UI.
