Abstract
An approach is provided for facilitating the sharing of information related to an item of interest as a web link via data messaging. The messaging client determines a request to share information related to an item of interest. The messaging client then causes an encoding of the information, geo-coded information, sharing destinations, and user credentials for the sharing destinations into a communication. The messaging client further causes a transmission of the communication to a web server. Next, the message platform determines a request to create a web link for sharing information related to an item of interest, wherein the request includes a communication encoding the information, sharing destinations, and user credentials. The message platform then processes and/or facilitates a processing of the request to cause a creation of a web link based on the communication. The message platform further determines to make the web link available to the sharing destinations.
