No, not really. But the API itself is quite simple, to get current sharing
information, you just do:

/api/sharing/type=dashboard&id=ID (GET request)

and then to update, you can use (PUT/POST request):
/api/sharing/type=dashboard&id=ID

With your JSON payload

It's probably easiest to just sniff on the POST with web inspector, and you
will get an idea of the API, for example I set external, added a group, and
set public read on a dashboard on our test server, and the resulting JSON
was:

{
    "meta": {
        "allowPublicAccess": true,
        "allowExternalAccess": true
    },
    "object": {
        "id": "iMnYyBfSxmM",
        "name": "Delivery",
        "publicAccess": "r-------",
        "externalAccess": true,
        "user": {
            "id": "GOLswS44mh8",
            "name": "Tom Wakiki"
        },
        "userGroupAccesses": [
            {
                "id": "wl5cDMuUhmF",
                "name": "Administrators",
                "access": "r-------"
            }
        ]
    }
}

The meta object you can just ignore, but the rest of the API should be
clear enough.

Please write back if you need more information, I don't think anyone else
is using the sharing API, so there might be some rough edges.
