Goodmorning,
I’ve been looking into the documentation for the linkedin API.
I'm interested in the compliance solution, in particular the following APIs:
Organization Lookup API
Company Search API
Organization Access Control API
Some APIs of the People integration
I didn't understand if the compliance solution is accessible or not and if I should apply for it.
I've posted this question on the microsoft docs Q&A section and they told me to post it here where the linkedin API team can help me.
Thank you,
Giovanni.
Apparently, it is not possible to request access to the Compliance API, see here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/linkedin/shared/authentication/getting-access#compliance-closed
I realized that LinkedIn from the service voyager use
link is related to Voyager
https://linkedin.api-docs.io/v1.0/messaging/RMTx5GgWKsMivwQ7m
But sending messages is not mentioned in this document

You should go to this link and register a ticket and say that you want to use this access

a couple of months ago I made this https://github.com/Kaustubh-Natuskar/companies-to-apply repository which contains the list of 300 PBC's and startups I got a good response for that. But I have decided to take this further I want to make a website from this idea.
there will be a list of companies if there is an opening a red circle will denote it.
Now the problem is how can I know that there are openings?
API is a great option where I can cache the results and then display them like above.
is there any API on LinkedIn where if I post a request with the company's id or name I'll get current openings?
It doesn't look like it.
There is the Job Posts XML feed, but the documentation implies that it's not free (and difficult to get access to):
The integration of the XML feed is limited to those developers approved by LinkedIn. Reach out to your Business Development contact to meet certain criteria and sign an agreement in order to use this integration.
Compliance with our contract and guidelines is integral. Refer to Job Posting Guidelines for details.

Here is Microsoft's full documentation on the LinkedIn APIs.
Years ago, someone asked on Stack Overflow if it were possible to retrieve a list of all employees who work at a company. I can do this through the LinkedIn UI, but I cannot seem to find any mechanism for this using the v2 API. The SO response mentions this used to be possible on the v1 API, but you had to request access through LinkedIn's "Vetted API Access Program." Unfortunately, the link on this response is now obsolete and does not send users to any such program.
How could I apply for this program nowadays? This is a specific situation to me and my company, so I would very much like to discuss this with someone at LinkedIn if some form of this Vetted API Access Program still exists. I do not wish to disclose the details of this request to the open internet.
I have confirmed through contacts inside LinkedIn that this API functionality has been removed. No further information has been provided, and LinkedIn tech support refuses to comment any more on this issue. Furthermore, no LinkedIn engineers will comment on this thread here.
This is bizarre since any regular user can do this functionality through the web front-end, but for some reason LinkedIn believes this would be a violation of privacy/security if we could do this programmatically.
Therefore, the only way to obtain this data would be through screen scraping. I wish I had better news, and I wish that LinkedIn would provide some reasoning for their changes, but alas this is where we are.
I just posted a very similar question because I ran into the same problem as you.
The application forms for Linkedin's current partner programs seem to be located here, however I can't tell you which one of those programs comes with the necessary API access rights and I am in general not sure if this API request is still allowed.
Edit: The Linkedin Help page states that applications for partner programs are currently unavailable?
In general, you can get a list of employees of a company if you scrape Linkedin profiles exhaustively, or if you have an exhaustive dataset of Linkedin profiles.
Each Linkedin profile contains a list of experiences that links to the company profile URL.
Thereafter, you will filter the dataset into profiles currently working at X company to get a list of employees currently working in a company. The same technique can also be used to retrieve a list of past employees.
And that is what we did. We scraped all public Linkedin profiles based in the US and made an alternative API known as Proxycurl Employee Listing API to Linkedin API to provide employee listing functionality.
Proxycurl's Employee Listing API will never be as exhaustive as Linkedin's dataset because not all profiles are made public, but most are. But will suffice to meet your needs.
I've looked at all the questions and replies here and also applied for a partner account as the LinkedIn docs are so confusing now.
Where do I go to read about how to connect my API to give access to your or anyone's LinkedIn connections? I'd like to retrieve all a persons contact details and their connections details for populating an address book.
I got declined with no helpful info or pointers and getting in contact with LinkedIn is just as hard:
Dear developer,
Thanks for submitting your request for enhanced API access through the LinkedIn developer site. We reviewed the information provided in your application and determined that your use case does not qualify for enhanced API access.
Due to the high volume of requests we receive, we unfortunately cannot provide detailed feedback about your individual application. If you have further questions about the use cases we support through our Open APIs, please review our developer site (https://developer.linkedin.com/) and API Terms of Use (https://developer.linkedin.com/legal/api-terms-of-use).

I am trying to get latest 3 public activities of our company from linkedin (ex: http://www.linkedin.com/company/4043/activity) and present it on our website but unfortunately I dont see a clear explanation to do so in the API documentations. I registered an API Key but I am confused if I need to do OAuth if so against what and then what API to call to get publicly available info?
Is OAuth really needed for something that is available?
Can I store an OAuth token for an internal user and keep fetching data on that? I would really do not want to authenticated the site visitors with oauth to get free linkedin content.
This question is on the lines of this one, but I still wanted to ask and see if I could get a better response/answer.
To get the company updates from the LinkedIn API, you will need to reference the following document:
https://developer.linkedin.com/reading-company-updates
The API is currently in preview mode, but the above document addresses your question re: OAuth as well as shows the specific calls as well as sample output. If you have any questions after reviewing the docs, please feel free to visit our developer forums at:
https://developer.linkedin.com/forums/rest
And one of someone from our team would be more than happy to help you further.
Enjoy!

I am using linkedin-j apis and trying to search the available public feeds for a set of keywords say oracle and google. That is, i should get all the feeds which mentions either oracle or google in it.
It is possible in facebook and twitter. Is it doable in linkedin-j as well? I could not find apis other then search people, job and companies.
If yes please guide which api to use? site does not seems to have relevant docs.
I found from documentation that linkedIn does not allow all that. It only can pull information specific to the authenticated user.
