How to get notified the user shared something using ShareKit?

I'm using ShareKit to allow users to share stuff from my app to Twitter and Facebook. After the user shared the object, I would like to get my app notified about it, in order to pass an API call to my server - so it can handle notifying the users "your friend just shared something, look it up!".

Facebook SDK allows to get a callback with information like the post ID. I'm wondering how to achieve something like this when using ShareKit 2.0 - should I override some methods of the Facebook and Twitter sharers?

It appears that modifying the ShareKit was the simplest (?) option.

In the SHKFacebook.m file, in the 

-(void)FBRequestHandlerCallback:(FBRequestConnection *)connection
                         result:(id) result
                          error:(NSError *)error

method the result parameter actually contains what I needed - it is a dictionary-like object that has the id key - and the value is a string containing the FB id of the post:

result: {
    id = "XXXXXXXX_YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY";
}

So what I actually did was adding a @property (nonatomic, strong) id sharingResult to the base SHKSharer class and setting it to the result value just before calling the [self didFinishSending] in FBRequestHandlerCallback. This allows me to access the result in sharingDelegate later, in a - (void) sharerFinishedSending:(SHKSharer *)sharer method.

All SHKSharers provide a delegate mechanism that you can use to be notified of the success / failure of the share (or authorisation). Check the superclass docs / .h file.
