Thanks for the report! Just to clarify, when you say you "can't seem to get it to work", what specifically fails, and with what error message?

There may be an issue on our side with this so we'll be happy to look into it, but I'd like to make sure I know exactly what isn't working for you and how first. Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for answering.
    I can create a shared link with the http api through curl.
    If I try to include the audience: no_one setting, I get this error summary.

    "error_summary": "settings_error/invalid_settings/"

    Does it work for you?

      Thanks for confirming that! I just tried it and got the same behavior. I'll look into this and follow up here once I have an update for you.
