Sharing
In Limecraft Flow, users usually collaborate within a single production. All team members of the production can access all the material within the production. However, with the Sharing feature, it is possible to share a single clip, selection of clips or a collection of material (as opposed to all the material in the production) with users that are not part of your production.
Create and access a share
Share a collection
POST /production/{prId}/eo/{id}/shareShare an editorial object with one or more users, by default the user has 'VIEW' permissions.
Details
Description
It is possible to add extra permissions. Extra permissions: 'ANNOTATE', 'DOWNLOAD', 'UPLOAD'.

Share one or more clips
To share a selection of clips, it is first necessary to create an EditorialObject with funnel SelectionShare. This page explains how to create an EditorialObject. The body of the call will contain something like this:
{
"funnel": "SelectionShare",
"title": "some clips"
}After creating the EditorialObject, assign the clips to it as explained here.
Once the clips are attached, share the EditorialObject just like you would share a collection, as explained in the previous section.
Access a share
| We are changing our viewpoint in this section. Now we are not the user creating the share, but the user accessing the share. The latter usually isn’t part of the Production the Share was created in! |
When creating a share, Limecraft Flow will generate a token which regulates access to certain items included in the share and the share itself. This token first needs to be upgraded via a login call. The upgraded token must then be used for subsequent calls to access things in the share.
Login: upgrade the share token
The url being shared will contain the productionId and the Share’s token, for example this (non-functional) link: https://platform.limecraft.com/#shared/production/1234/eyJhIjSomethingSwidiI6MX0.
The first call that needs to happen is a login call on the share. If the share is not password-protected, you can simply POST an empty object {} to it. The Share’s token should be placed in the authorization header Authorization: Bearer <token>. An alternative is to use it as the access_token query parameter: ?access_token=<token>.
The call will respond with an object containing a session token which should be used in subsequent steps (again, in the Authorization header or via the access_token query parameter). The session token grants you access to the share and will expire after one hour of inactivity.
| If the share expires, any sessions created before the expiration will still be active and will allow access to the share. However, the creation of new sessions will be disabled. |
POST /production/{prId}/share/{id}/loginVerify the password and generate new token.

You can use the following include query parameters to also retrieve the annotations in the same call: includeEntries=true&includeEdl=true&includeAnnotations=true.
Accessing the MediaObject, MediaObjectInstance, MaterialInstance etc. uses the regular calls (authorized via the share token).
Create and access a password-protected share
A share can be protected with a password. Let’s take a look at how to create a password-protected share, and then how to access it as a user not belonging to the production.
Add a password to a share
The user doing the calls in this section is part of the production and able to manage shares ("LIBRARY_SHARE" permission).
|
Creating the share happens in the same way as we did in the previous section. To add a password to it, first update the existing share object by using the following PUT call and setting its passwordProtected to true:
PUT /production/{prId}/share/{id}_This API call update the shared object. _

To change a password, the same sequence can be used. To clear the password, set passwordProtected to false in the first call and save the empty string "" as the password in the second call.
Access a password-protected share
| We are changing our viewpoint in this section: we are now a user accessing the share (usually not part of the production). |
Accessing a password-protected share is similar to what we explained above about accessing a share. The only difference is that we won’t send an empty object to the login call, but our password:
{ "password": "myPassword" }The rest of the sequence is identical.
Create and access a share with identification
A share can be accessed with the share token, but some calls, (e.g., creating a ReviewComment) will require the user to be identified. For other calls, identifying the user first is recommended, so actions can be traced back to a SharedUser.
Create a share which requires identification
| We are changing our viewpoint in this section: we are now a user creating the share (and thus part of the production). |
Some calls (e.g., creating a ReviewComment) will require the user to be identified. the Limecraft Flow Core will always block these calls when the call is not authorized with an identified token. However, the share itself can still be accessed.
In some cases, it is useful to have the user identify as soon as they access the share. E.g. to have a record of "this person viewed the share". This can be enforced by setting clientProperties.identifyUser to true when creating the share. This will result in the Limecraft Flow UI application to require identification before accessing the share.
Note that Limecraft Flow UI is smart enough to automatically ask the user to identify when they try to create a (e.g., creating a ReviewComment), even if clientProperties.identifyUser is not true.
Access a share which requires identification
| We are changing our viewpoint in this section: we are now a user accessing the share (usually not part of the production). |
Identifying is done using the identify call. A successful identify response will be a JSON object which contains
both a token and a sharedUser property. The token is to be used to
authorize any calls from now on. The sharedUser which is returned is either
newly created, or an existing one. See the section on shared users below.
| Identifying does not add any extra security, as anyone can identify as any user! It is meant as a low-friction way of getting some information on who is accessing the share, but it shouldn’t be relied upon for security purposes. |
The identification call can be called in any of these ways:
-
with a
usernameandemail. -
with an empty body. The call will succeed if the provided token already is identified. For instance when sending the share link via email (through Limecraft Flow), Limecraft Flow will automatically use identified tokens in the email. It will return 401 otherwise and therefore needs further identification.
-
with a regular Limecraft Flow access Token
flowAccessTokenin the body of the request. This means as much as ‘I want to access this share context, but be identified as this Limecraft Flow user’. The response will contain a newly created Shared User, and a newly generated token. A Shared User is created even for existing Limecraft Flow users, because needs to work for mentions, and not be shown as anonymous for other share users. -
Another alternative is to put the
sharedUserIdin the body of the request. Limecraft Flow will add the shared user to the share, if it isn’t already.
In practice, the Limecraft Flow UI will use all these mechanisms in an attempt to not bother the user unnecessarily with a screen asking for the username and email:
-
first try the empty body
-
failing that it will try to set
sharedUserIdif the same user previously visited a share -
failing that it will try to set
flowAccessTokenif one is known -
failing that, the user is not identified. If identification is necessary, a screen will be shown asking for username and email.
When using an identified shared token, all objects created in the context of the share will be linked to the shared user via the createdBySharedUserId property.

If you only want to search the annotations that are created in the share (in practice: the ReviewComments created through a share), you can add a filter on createdByShareId, or alternatively in the previous url replace /an with /createdannotations.
Edit a share
To change properties of a Share, you use a PUT call to the share:
PUT /production/{prId}/share/{id}_This API call update the shared object. _
