Notes

  • The share_id in the response can be used to construct a public share URL
  • If the chat is already shared, this endpoint updates the shared version with the latest chat content
  • Shared chats are stored as separate chat records with a user_id of shared-{original_chat_id}
  • To unshare a chat, use the DELETE /api/chats/{id}/share endpoint
  • Non-admin users require chat.share permission to use this endpoint
