# Show share link

`GET /medias/{mediaId}/share_link`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.wistia.com/modern`
- URL: `https://api.wistia.com/modern/medias/{mediaId}/share_link`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

Fetches the share link for a single media. If the media does not have a
share link yet, one is created on first request with a default
visibility derived from the parent folder.

## Requires api token with one of the following permissions
```
Read all folder and media data
```

Tokens with the "Act with a team member's permissions" permission
(`all:delegate_to_contact_permissions` scope) can also be used. Requests
made with such a token are authorized using the permissions of the
contact assigned to the token.

An [expiring access token](https://docs.wistia.com/reference/post_expiring-token)
created with the `all:delegate_to_contact_permissions` scope and an
authorization granting the `share` permission on this media can also be used.

## Path parameters

- `mediaId` string, required

## Headers

- `X-Wistia-API-Version` string, required

## Response `200`

Successful response

- object: A shareable link for a single media. Each media can have at most one share link, and the link's `visibility` controls who can view the media when visiting the link.
  - `id` string, required: The hashed ID of the share link. This appears in the link's URL.
  - `media_id` string, required: The hashed ID of the media this share link points to.
  - `url` string, uri, required: The full URL viewers can use to view the media via this share link.
  - `slug` string, nullable, required: The share link's custom slug, if one is set. When present, the slug replaces the hashed ID in the link's URL.
  - `visibility` 'unlocked' | 'account' | 'locked' | 'domain_verified', required: Controls who can view the media via this share link. - `unlocked`: anyone with the link can view the media. - `account`: only signed-in members of the media's account can view. - `locked`: only contacts with access to the media's folder can view. - `domain_verified`: only viewers signed in with an email address at a domain verified on the media's account can view. Requires the account to be enrolled in the domain validation gate; otherwise setting this value returns 400.
  - `created_at` string, date-time, required: When the share link was created.
  - `updated_at` string, date-time, required: When the share link was last updated.
