ShareDing! Deep Links

For developers who want to share individual articles or items.

Sharing an Article

Create a deep link with a base64-encoded JSON payload:

feedings://share?data=<base64-encoded-json>

JSON payload structure:

{
  "version": 1,
  "type": "item",
  "data": {
    "title": "Article Title",
    "link": "https://example.com/article",
    "description": "Article description or excerpt",
    "pubDate": "2025-01-15T10:00:00Z",
    "source": "Your Site Name",
    "sourceColor": "#00baff",
    "thumbnail": "https://example.com/image.jpg",
    "sourceUrl": "https://example.com/feed.xml"
  },
  "timestamp": 1736935200000
}

Required Fields:

JavaScript Example

const payload = {
  version: 1, type: "item",
  data: {
    title: "My Article Title",
    link: "https://myblog.com/article",
    description: "A short description...",
    pubDate: new Date().toISOString(),
    source: "My Blog",
    sourceColor: "#00baff",
    thumbnail: "https://myblog.com/thumb.jpg",

Use Cases

Article share buttons — let readers save specific articles

Email newsletters — include deep links to individual items

Social media — share via feedings:// links

Mobile apps — deep link with pre-filled content

Server-Side Links

For production, use our share server API:

Content-Type: application/json

{ "version": 1, "type": "item", "data": { ... } }

Creates short links like share.feedings.co.uk/abc123
