Shares API seems to be depreciated

To share an organisation post to a personal feed you need to use the new /rest/posts POST API

My body was

{  
“author”: “urn:li:person:PERSONID”,  
“commentary”: “Sample text Post”,  
“visibility”: “PUBLIC”,  
“distribution”: {  
“feedDistribution”: “MAIN\_FEED”,  
“targetEntities”: ,  
“thirdPartyDistributionChannels”:   
},  
“lifecycleState”: “PUBLISHED”,  
“isReshareDisabledByAuthor”: false,  
“reshareContext”: {  
“parent”: “INSERT POST URN TO BE SHARED”  
}  
}

You can get the person id from the /me api

The post URN can be retrieved via the watch posts module

Running the posts API with the following info produces the following output
