# shares.create

Make a link to a gallery of a job's photos that anyone with the link can open without signing in. Name the photos, or leave media_ids out to share every photo on the job (including ones added later). Expires after days (1 to 90, default 14); revoke it any time. Markup shows over the photos unless include_markup is false. Set include_daily_log to also show the job's daily log entries (off by default; names of who wrote them are not shown). The url is shown once.
