Create shared link for each file in folder, then retrieve those links for database insertion
I'm curious how best to achieve the end-result mentioned in the title?
My client has a few folders with a large number of documents that he would like to create shared links for and then insert those links into a MySQL database (rather then going through and creating each link manually, then copy and pasting into the tables). What would be the best way to achieve this using the API (what functions to use, etc.)?
Any help is appreciated!

Hi sverdon,
You can enumerate all places of interest, using 2/files/list_folder / continue and for every one file considered target can create a shared link using 2/sharing/create_shared_link_with_settings. Once you get the links you want, you can make whatever you want with them.
Hope this gives direction.
