Sample request body for createLink api scope USER

Question

I've reviewed the documentation for the createLink API and noticed that it has a USER scope. However, I couldn't find any information about the request body. Can anyone provide an example of the request body?

I have tried using this API with the example request body from chatgpt and it return me 400 Bad Request.

Here is the link

Hi @Lim Zi Lin ,

Thank you for posting in this community.

I think you have a bit of a misunderstanding about this API, which I will clarify in more detail below.

Your request body uses three properties, types, scope, and recipients, where the only properties supported by the createLink API are types and scope, and recipients are not supported. Users values are allowed for the scope properties. In other words, the createLink API does not support specifying users.

Here's a screenshot of my test:
