The link above does not mention anything about when the link will expire if you omit the unshared_at parmeter. Does this imply indefinite?

   You are correct. If you don't specify a value for the unshared_at parameter, the shared link does not expire. 

   

  In the JSON response for a successful call to the Create Shared Link endpoint, it will return a Shared Link object. The Shared Link object describes attributes, such as url and access type. If no value is passed for the unshared_at parameter, one of the attributes on the Shared Link object will be "unshared_at": null. The null value for "unshared_at" means that shared link does not have an expiration time.
