Social Share URLs

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.
  • Icons : Public domain and permissively-licensed, at an amazing 450x450 resolution.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • History : Hey, we've been around for a while, wh00! Check out our history page!
