Question

I am writing a third party JQuery widget. I wanted to have a Social Sharing option for these widgets. These widgets would be installed for different websites, so the sharing urls, content etc would be specific to that website.

I was starting to write my own code for social sharing, but I wanted to know if there are good API’s that already take care of this, which could prevent me from writing my own?

Thanks.

For strictly “Social Sharing” of Twitter and Facebook, you don’t need a back-end. It can all be done client side in a pure jQuery widget.
