Trying to do something similar to FB SDK for sharing links like so:

@chuck you can see the link(Javascript version).

For Story,
https://developers.kakao.com/docs/social-plugins/story-share

For Talk,
https://developers.kakao.com/docs/js#kakao-link

PS) If you are familiar to English docs, please visit https://developers.kakao.com/docs/latest/en/kakaologin/common first.
You need documents in English?

Hi @michael,

No Javascript is best; we’re using email to send out our link to our newsletter subscribers. As you know, email has no Javascript at all.

I was able to find a URL for Kakao Story:

https://story.kakao.com/s/share?url=http%3A%2F%2Fplaylingoland.com&text=BLAH&app_key=BLAH2

I couldn’t find anything for Kakao Talk, though (yes, I already tried the analogous https://talk.kakao.com/s/share :slight_smile:).

These aren’t HTTP web URLs are not ideal, though – Deep Links for mobile are better (for example, kakao://) because right now, the http:// link that I found it is web browser only (does not open the Kakao app) and the user has to log in with their username and password to share (opening the Kakao app is much better than web).

What are the Kakao kakao:// deep links for sharing?

Thanks!
Chuck

If it helps, I can also post Korean translations of my posts to get a more visible audience.

@thechuckster For KakaoTalk, the deep-link is “kakaolink://send” but maybe I think you can’t send a message without Kakao SDKs(iOS, Android and Javascript) because parameters for the deep-link are very complicated.

I am trying to send it from HTML only, no JS – and not native mobile either, so no SDKs.

How complicated are we talking, can you please be a little more specific? I’m a brave developer who is willing to dive deep into this.

Maybe you could share an example (later I will try to intercept a link from the iOS app delegate open URL methods)?

@chuck Unfortunately, I can’t open the full spec of the KakaoLink. But if you are familiar to Java and Javascript languages, you can see the source of KakaoLink.

Sources:
Javascript - https://developers.kakao.com/sdk/js/kakao.js (search KakaoTalkLink)
Android - https://developers.kakao.com/sdk/latest-android-sdk (open the project and see kakaolink and kakao-open-android-link-sample sources at Android Studio)

Sample or Demo:
Javascript - https://developers.kakao.com/docs/js/demos/link-web , https://developers.kakao.com/docs/js/demos/link-app , https://developers.kakao.com/docs/js/demos/link-dynamic
Android - https://developers.kakao.com/sdk/latest-android-sdk (SDK binary also has sample projects)
iOS - https://developers.kakao.com/sdk/latest-ios-sdk (only sample project, not SDK sources) (iOS SDK’s source is not open yet)

I hope this helps.

Any plans on Kakao’s future roadmap to open source the iOS SDK?

#9

@chuck I am sorry. We don’t have a plan to open iOS SDK sources in this year, but will try next year.

Can you share your method?
