Retrieving existing share URL for a file.

I'm using the create_shared_link_with_settings API. I get the error response "shared_link_already_exists". So how can I get the existing share URL? I can't even revoke this share as I need the URL!

The part I didn't see at first is that you can use this API with the path of the specific object to get just that link.
