## Authenticate a Share
Shares work by publicly giving you an access/refresh token combination (as you would get with the regular /auth/login
endpoints). These tokens are limited to a permissions set that only allows access to the item that was shared, and any
relationally linked items that that associated role has access to. This means that all regular endpoints can be used
with the credentials set returned by this endpoint.
### Request Body
`share` **Required**\
Primary key of the share you're authenticating against.
`password` **string**\
Password for the share, if one is configured.
### Returns
`access_token` **string**\
Temporary access token to be used in follow-up requests.
`expires` **integer**\
How long before the access token will expire. Value is in milliseconds.
`refresh_token` **string**\
The token that can be used to retrieve a new access token through [`/auth/refresh`](#refresh). Note: if you used `cookie`
as the mode in the request, the refresh token won't be returned in the JSON.
### REST API
```
POST /shares/auth
```
##### Example
```
POST /shares/auth
```
```json
{
"share": "61e8a1b6-6eba-438c-91e8-8d912ef655d3",
"password": "d1r3ct5us"
}
```

## Send a Share by Email

### Request Body
`share` **Required**\
Primary key of the share you're inviting people to.
`emails` **array**\
Array of email strings to send the share link to.
### Returns
Empty body.
### REST API
```
POST /shares/invite
```
##### Example
```json
// POST /shares/invite
{
"share": "653925a9-970e-487a-bfc0-ab6c96affcdc",

## Get Share Public Info

### Returns
The [share objects](#the-share-object) for the given UUID, if it's still valid.
### REST API
