</code></pre>
<p>With custom options:</p>
<pre><code>[lightshare networks="facebook,twitter,linkedin" style="rounded"]<h3>Block</h3>
</code></pre>
<p>Lightshare includes a block for the block editor:</p>
<ul>
<li>Block name: “Lightshare Buttons”</li>

<h3>External services</h3>
<p>Lightshare does not call third-party APIs in the background. External requests only happen when a visitor clicks a share button. When a share button is clicked, the destination service receives the share data in the URL query string (for example: current page URL, page title, and for Pinterest also an image URL when available).</p>
