Change gallery privacy

Set the visibility and access of a gallery or folder.

PUT https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/smugmug/galleries/{gallery_id}/privacy

write Confirm

Changes who can open the gallery and returns how many galleries changed. Unlisted hides a gallery from navigation and search but anyone with the link can open it. A Private folder makes everything inside it Private. Updating direct image URLs stops every direct link shared before and cannot be undone. By default you confirm each call; you can switch that off for this tool.
