Social sharing JavaScript API

📘

The content on this page deals with a legacy feature of the ​Akamai​ Identity Cloud (in this case, social sharing). If you are currently an Identity Cloud customer and are using social sharing, that feature is still supported. However, if you’re new to the Identity Cloud, social sharing is no longer available.

Use JavaScript to customize the social sharing experience. Note that social sharing has largely been deprecated and, unless you're already using it, is no longer available.
