This project is intended to help you integrate sharing on social media within your code. We have been actively doing this since 2013.
What we try to provide :
- Source Code Libraries : To provide basic utilities for generating these social media links in any environment that you need.
- Currently supporting libraries in : PHP, Python, Java, Golang, ReactJS, JavaScript, C++, C, MySQL, C#, Ruby, VB.Net, Perl, Swift, Objective-C.
- Documentation: Each library has its own demo's, online sandboxes, and sample-use code.
- Want to know about the code? Check it out : https://github.com/bradvin/social-share-urls/tree/master/code
- Icons : Public domain and permissively-licensed, at an amazing
450x450
resolution.- Currently supported themes:
opaque background
(1x set),white background
(1x set),background & shadow
(1x set),colorized background
(10x sets). - Want to know about the icons? Check it out : https://github.com/bradvin/social-share-urls/tree/master/images
- Currently supported themes:
- Regularly-Tested, Basic Share-URL Formats of Popular, Social Media : Directly linking to share/like pages on that social media with fillable URL, text, and other parameters.
- For example :
example.com/someSocialMediaSite/share?url=yourWebsiteURL&text=someMessageAboutYourSite
. - URL's are organized into category (
multi-language
,phone-based
,email-based
, etc.). - Each URL category is sorted by
Alexa
-rank. Know what's important without having to track down the info.
- For example :
- Reference Sources : For each service, URL format, and set of parameters, so that you can feel confident about these links and find out more if you need to do something more interesting.
- We include primary sources (official documentation or official dev blogs). We try to provide at least one of these per service.
- We also include secondary sources (like forum conversations or StackOverflow questions). We try to provide at least three of these per service.

Links failed in

. There are numerous, active complaints for this service, discoverable by just searching the web.fb-messenger://share?link={url}&app_id={app_id}
-
Massive security flaws were revealed in 2017 and 2018, causing Mail.ru to be added to the uBlock Origin blacklist. User password leak: currently active. Additionally, testing by Social Share dev's determined that the API no longer works.
-
URL requires login, accounts requires authorizing with several social media parties, and on Chrome and Firefox, using Windows, iOS, and Android, account creation could not be completed. This was the longest service to test that did not require software to be downloaded and locally installed.
