OCS Sharee API

The OCS Sharee API allows you to access the sharing API from outside over pre-defined OCS calls.

The base URL for all calls to the share API is: <nextcloud_base_url>/ocs/v1.php/apps/files_sharing/api/v1

All calls to OCS endpoints require the OCS-APIRequest header to be set to true.
