As for why it fails in one environment and not the other, check which account(s) you're calling in each. If you're connected to the same account in both, the first call may work and the second may fail, since the link was created by the first call, for example.
You can get the existing link from the error if it is included there, otherwise you can call sharing_list_shared_links.
Thanks for the feedback. I did notice that the link was included in the error message. I was just surprised when using my development id compared to using the production id I am getting different results. I can run in development the same code over and over without a problem. So now in the exception I need to extract the link.
Thanks again,
Cris
