I am trying to fetch events data through LinkedIn API, but its throwing this error even I passed access token in my header. One more thing I am using postman to create API calls.
I am using this url to call API:-
https://api.linkedin.com/v2/events
{
"serviceErrorCode": 0,
"message": "Resource events does not exist",
"status": 404
}
I am rather new to working with these complex APIs, please help me
I read some more about it and it's written there that one need some special permissions to use event data ."r_events_leadgen_automation" permission is required. But how to get this permission, there is nothing on the docs about this.
You need to create an app and then request access to the Marketing Developer Platform under the Permissions tab. However, getting this access is not easy. You need to fill out and submit a detailed form asking questions about your business and what you intend to do with the access. And you may need to ask for more access after all. I have never gone that far.
You can find more information here.

How to enable my account to get access on r_basicprofile access
According to the migration docs, access to the basic profile fields is being restricted to developers that are members of the partner program. So you'll have to apply to a partner program to access those fields. However, LinkedIn has no clear documentation on which partner program developers should use for the simple use case of maintaining access to r_basicprofile. I've talked with a couple of their customer service reps and they eventually directed me to ask about it here but it seems no one has a clear answer for this...
Instagram is not giving Access to details other than basic.
I was using this API-
https://api.instagram.com/v1/users/{user-id}/media/recent/?access_token=ACCESS-TOKEN&count={number}
But not able to fetch details of users since 20th Mar 2018.
Error Getting:-
error_type: "OAuthException",
code: 400,
error_message: "Invalid scope field(s): public_content,basic"
Earlier it was working fine and I was getting details smoothly
You can review permissions here- https://www.instagram.com/developer/authorization/
Here I am getting(applications no longer accepted)
Please guide anyone or give alternate?
Someone said that "Instagram reset the tokens for all users as a security precaution" from here, so you have to generate a new access token.
If you create token by yourself, explicit or implicit way, that token is always "basic" one, and I don't know why(I've tried so many times...)
If you seek websites that help you generate access token, mostly they generate "basic" permission as well.
I'm implementing the Socrata API to be able to parse publicly-available data from the City of Chicago open data set. I am really just concerned about the data itself, so I did not initially think that I would need to implement OAuth2 through an app exposed via ngrok to be able to GET the data.
My initial attempt was to take the GET requests mentioned in their documentation and try to get responses through Postman.
Here's an example of such an attempt:
I also added my Socrata App Token as a param in the querystring, but the same message was shown.
So I tell myself, ok, maybe they deprecated GET requests without making the client go through OAuth2. If they didn't deprecate these GET requests, I would prefer not to have to deal with OAuth2, but I began implementing the authentication process and everything went successfully until I got to the following instructions found here:
I have every single value that needs to be included in that POST request except for 'authorization_type'. Where does this come from? I tried leaving 'authorization_type' in as a string, but received a response similar to the 'Invalid username or password' message in the top image in this question.
Are you only accessing public datasets from Chicago's data portal? From your screenshot it looks like you're trying to access the Building Permits dataset, which is public.
Authentication is only required for modifying datasets or accessing private data, so chances are very good you don't even need to authenticate. Just include an application token with your request for throttling purposes.
Glad to help you figure out your OAuth workflow, but it sounds like it might be unnecessary.
I need your help regarding MFA flow. Could you tell me please if there is a list of institutions, that use MFA, or if it is possible to get it?
I have found site, that looks like it had MFA, at least it has such data within response (siteSearchString)
"mfaType":{"typeId":4,"typeName":"SECURITY_QUESTION"},"mfaCoverage":"FMPA"
But when I'm getting site login form with this siteID, I'm getting simple login form with
"isMFA": false
When I try to addSiteAccount using this siteId, I'm getting this error:
{
"errorOccurred": "true",
"exceptionType": "com.yodlee.core.IllegalArgumentValueException",
"referenceCode": "_23e71a23-4298-4d86-9271-be9ada8892b0",
"message": "Multiple exceptions encapsulated within: invoke getWrappedExceptions for details"
}
Looks like, that this call requires real credentials for this institution. Am I right? If so, is there any test banks or other financial institution, that use MFA? So we can use them in development mode and not to interact with real ones?
I have found useful generator. So question with test accounts is solved.
Please correct me if I miss something in MFA flow.
Thanks!
The isMFA: false value present in the login form does not make a site MFA.
"mfaType":{"typeId":4,"typeName":"SECURITY_QUESTION"},"mfaCoverage":"FMPA" this value represents if a site is MFA or not.
The exception which you are getting is coming because the login form parameters are not passed correctly in the addSiteAccount API.
You should use getSiteLoginForm API to get the login form for a site and then construct the request of addSiteAccount
Also I would suggest you to go through the API flow to understand the sequence of API to be used correctly.
I have used Facebook API but I am new to Linkedin api.
I need some help on how to get information (name, birthday, etc) about my ALL Connections, and I need help with both the token and the info-related API calls.
As for the token -- in Facebook there is the Facebook Console to generate tokens at runtime and test our API calls... Does LinkedIn have something similar?
Update: I'm able to get list of connections using:
http://api.linkedin.com/v1/people/~/connections?modified=new
... but how can I also get birthdates (if shared publicly)? I've attempted:
http://api.linkedin.com/v1/people/~/connections:(headline,first-name,last-name,date-of-birth)
...however, that shows me the first and last name but NOT the date of birth.
You can use the rest console here: http://developer.linkedin.com/rest-console
There is a template method you can use called "Get My Connections".
I hope this helps.
Update: LinkedIn has restricted their open API access, and this no longer works.
https://apigee.com/console/linkedin
Select OAuth2, click connect, then allow LinkedIn to privede apigee to your LI profile. Then in the left collumn, select Get My Connections. apigee prepares most of params, except format (xml/json), which you can add yourself.
Looks like now no such API available(Looks like depricated by Linkedin). Please let me know if i am wrong and suggest other ways to achieve user's connections.
I am getting this in response
{
"errorCode": 0,
"message": "Access to connections denied",
"requestId": "6Sxxxxxxx",
"status": 403,
"timestamp": 14xxxxxxxxx
}
Please see : https://developer.linkedin.com/support/developer-program-transition
I think what you are looking for, is the Linkedin Connections API. You can look at the documentation provided here -> http://developer.linkedin.com/documents/connections-api
There are also various other APIs for accessing profile, groups, companies, and jobs.
It returns an XML document so, you should be able to generate tokens and test your API calls without any problem.
These APIs are no longer available
2019 still works but with a different approach.
Do this:
You may follow the steps from here:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/linkedin/shared/authentication/authorization-code-flow?context=linkedin/consumer/context
1 - Create an APP with r_1st_connections permission
2 - Authorization (STEP 2 from link)
GET https://www.linkedin.com/oauth/v2/authorization
scope should be r_1st_connections (your app must have this permission)
3 - Log in with your username and password
4 - Linkedin will return you code
something like: ?code=QWERTY
5 - Get your Access Token (STEP 3 from link)
POST https://www.linkedin.com/oauth/v2/accessToken
6 - Get your connections
GET https://api.linkedin.com/v2/connections?q=viewer&start=0&count=50
