Create a share

Python example of sharing content with another user:

 import urllib2, json, base64
 
 uri = "/api/core/v3/shares"
 base_url = "http://jive.mycompany.com"
 url = base_url + uri 
 
 user = "Gregory.Employee"
 password = "password"
 
 auth = "Basic " + base64.encodestring('%s:%s' % (user, password)).replace("\n","");
 
 headers = { "Content-Type": "application/json", "Authorization": auth }
 
 data = json.dumps({ "shared": "http://jive.mycompany.com/api/core/v3/contents/11858",
     "content": {
         "type": "text/html",
         "text": "Sharing this doc with you!"
     },
     "participants": ["http://jive.mycompany.com/api/core/v3/people/1234"]
 })  
 
 req = urllib2.Request(url, data, headers )
 
 try:
     json = urllib2.urlopen(req).read()
 except urllib2.HTTPError, e:
     print e.code
     print e.read()
 
 print json
