Hi. And thanks you for this very awesome tool. While implementing sharing buttons on my website, I noticed that Evernote only accepts HTTPS requests now, as HTTP requests raise a 403 error. So you might want to update the list.

@guillaumerangheard : Thanks for the heads up! I updated the gist, and will make similar updates to the github project in the coming weeks.

Is there a URL for messenger?

Hey, nana0f2,

Apparently there is! https://developers.facebook.com/docs/sharing/reference/send-dialog#examples

I'll update the list above and add this, thanks for mentioning! I'll also update the base repo.

Thank You. I decided I do not want to use Facebook itself for a while (too much drama). However, I would like to continue using just messenger to send some things to certain friends. So a share direct would be great.

I have made the following updates:

  • Remove dead sites: AddThis, Buffer, Flattr, Weibo, SurfingBird.
  • New params available for old sites: QZone, Douban, SMS, Email, Gmail, Telegram.me.
  • Services sorted by type and popularity, such that, overall, services should be now sorted according to the expected use by users. I.E., top url's are: Facebook, Reddit, Twitter, Linkedin, Whatsapp, and these are, in fact, the five most used services. The rating of services was done using Alexa site statistics.

Feel free to check into the main project: https://github.com/bradvin/social-share-urls

Updates:

  • 2 weeks ago, Weibo was down.
  • After concerted testing today with various parties, it seems Weibo is now up.

Re-added Weibo to the list.

I would add the https://web.whatsapp.com/send?text={message} to the list because when using https://api.whatsapp.com/send?phone={phone_number}&text={title}%20{url} from a desktop web browser it doesn't work as expected even if you already have a web whatsapp session.

Hey hey, thanks for reaching out, I'm always on the lookout for problems. But it seems like the URL works fine? I just checked by clicking it right now: https://i.imgur.com/bLe2QfL.jpg

In your example you're using a defined phone number, but when we do add a WhatsApp icon on a blog post, for example, so any user reading can share it with their contacts we can't (and shouldn't) know his/her phone number and use it to build the url like this. Even https://api.whatsapp.com/send?phone={phone_number}&text={title}%20{url} can be used without the query param phone like this: https://api.whatsapp.com/send?text={title}%20{url} and that probably is the most used way of this URL, but when used like this in a desktop web browser it doesn't build the message on a web whatsapp session, only a simple window is displayed without any url or text predefined. That's why https://web.whatsapp.com/send?text={message} may be useful.

Well, all of the params are optional, for all of the services, except in a few cases where appid is used. Like, for instance the mailto: API links. You don't actually have to fill in all to/from/subject/content fields.

I understand it. I think I'm not being clear what's the problem so checkout these images (pay attention into each description): https://imgur.com/a/W2WZm8h

Google+ link is dead too, they no longer support it.

Threema now supports a web url instead of a mobile-only-url.

Old but still supported: threema://compose?text={url}&id={user_id}

New: https://threema.id/compose?text={url} or: https://threema.id/ABCDEFGH?text={url}

Hallo,

kann man Telegram und Signal (auch WhatsApp als App und nicht als Browser-Aufruf) als App aufrufen? Die sind ja auf dem PC nun verfügbar als eigenständige App.

Das wär toll - Signal/Telegram/WhatsApp - App-Aufruf...

Viele Grüße Björn

Hi everybody. Thank you for sharing these links. Is there a share link for Instagram ?

Instagram is an image-posting application. What image could you possibly want someone to post on your behalf?

Mastodon is not a social network, it's an open-source social networking application. Anyone can download it and create a social network, which can be configured with different links, but, there is no "one website" for Mastodon, it doesn't exist on any specific domain.

We have a share link for blogger, because, blogger.com is a social network. Where is Mastodon's domain? pettingzoo.co, or hijackbigplanes.com, or mysocialnetworkateyoursocialnetwork.abc , or whatever you choose. So there's no URL we can put up above that works for all Mastodon instances.

For Mastodon:

https://instance-URL/share?text={title}%20{url}

Replace instance-URL with your Mastodon server’s hostname, like mastodon.social.

For Mastodon.social server:

https://mastodon.social/share?text={title}%20{url}
