How to retrieve a company's recent posts in LinkedIn? - linkedin

I work for a digital marketing company (lets call it COMPANY_A). I log in as that company. Once inside the LinkedIn envelope I want to grab the most recent posts from a client company (COMPANY_B) and make them available to COMPANY_B's website via WordPress. This might happen through COMPANY_A's Azure machine and some ASP.NET code.
I'm confused about what kind of privilege I need. The impression I get is that r_organization_social gives me access to COMPANY_A's social data, not COMPANY_B's. Or is it as simple as authorising COMPANY_A into LinkedIn and then, with all the relevant cookies in place, scraping the required data off COMPANY_B's site?
A question like this has been asked before but no solution has been offered there.

Linkedin rest api to search people with their company name

I have come across a data collection problem, that is I want to download data from linkedin. For example, “My Company” is an organization, many people currently working there and may people who worked and let their jobs from “My Company”. I want to get the list of all people with their details who’s Experience section has Company name as “My Company” either present or previous experience. Is there any api available in linkedin for this purpose?
I think there was some APIs available like http://api.linkedin.com/v1/people-search, but is seems now those are not available. Anyone can suggest a method?

is there any linkedIn API which returns current job openings in a certin company?

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.
If you are not yet a LinkedIn Talent Solutions Partner, please contact the team at ll-bd#linkedin.com to request for evaluation.
Here is Microsoft's full documentation on the LinkedIn APIs.

Where to apply for a permission to access the LinkedIn r_fullprofile?

We lost access to some important user information with the upgrade to V2. We have read all the migration info and documentation posted. We would like to know where to apply for a permission to access the LinkedIn r_fullprofile?
PD: We have already sent an email to linkedin_support#cs.linkedin.com explaining some info about the company and how LinkedIn info is used:
"Our mobile app is a collection of mini social and professional networks that exist at physical locations. It is used in local venues, conferences and university classrooms. The ability gives our mutual users the ability to connect with people nearby with similar professional profiles. We use the vanity name to direct users to the public url page of other users. We strongly also encourage that our users signup using Linkedin and for those who don't have a Linkedin account to create one. We believe the integration add value to both of our companies."

How can I retrieve a list of all employees within a company through the LinkedIn API?

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.

Avoid login prompt for Company data with Consumer Partner?

We are trying to show the company updates done for our company on LinkedIn in the companies intranet. After visiting the developer site, we are able to create the token and pull the required information. The challenge is with the login prompt that would come up on the intranet home page. We want to avoid it.
This post mentions we need a token (that we have) and also user should be logged in to LinkedIn. So we guess it is a limitation.
However, the developer site mentions about 'partnership with Linkedin' and says if you become a consumer partner following is possible. It says you have higher functionality and thresholds.
"Create personalized and engaging user experiences for your audience by combining LinkedIn data and functionality into custom websites and mobile applications"
We tried reaching to Linked Developer Support with no response from them. Can anyone here confirm if we can Avoid login prompt for Company data with Consumer Partner?
