# POST /api/document/{document-id}/public-link

`POST /api/document/{document-id}/public-link`

Generate a publicly-accessible UUID for a Document.

  Creates a public link that allows viewing the Document without authentication. If the Document already has
  a public UUID, returns the existing one rather than generating a new one. This enables sharing the Document
  via `GET /api/ee/public/document/:uuid`.

  Returns a map containing `:uuid` (the public UUID string).

  Requires superuser permissions. Public sharing must be enabled via the `enable-public-sharing` setting.

## Path parameters

- `document-id` integer, required

## Response `2XX`

Successful response

- object
  - `uuid` string, required — value must be a valid UUID.

## Other responses

- `4XX` — Client error response
- `5XX` — Server error response
