My company has recently started offering certifications, and I'm looking to add them to a users profile using the linkedin api.
I can see from the documentation that I need access to the w_compliance permission in order to edit someone's profile, but I can't see any way to get this permission through self-serve, and none of the four linkedin partner programs seem relevant.
Does anyone know if it's still possible to get this permission?

Using linkedin api, can i search profiles for "open to work" then create targeted ads to those profiles?
I have tried consulting linkedin but they do not have a way to target those "open to work"
No, right now, it is not allowed by Linkedin. Right now, LinkedIn gives only the scope of r_liteprofile and r_emailaddress to Retrieve authenticated member's name, headline, photo, and member's primary email address.
To get the relevant candidate for the job, you may need to check open_to_work status, skills, projects, etc, for that you need the permission of r_fullprofile,
LinkedIn API has restricted such information as per their documentation:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/linkedin/shared/references/v2/profile/full-profile
As per their documentation, to access the information of skills, address, etc, your app needs to request r_fullprofile. But they have closed it now and no alternate is given. The more detail about the current permissions from LinkedIn can be seen here:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/linkedin/shared/authentication/getting-access
Right now there are currently in development mode. They are working on developing their APIs. What and when they will release such information is not available to document right now.
We're looking into integrating with LinkedIn so that we can feed our users with lists of job candidates, and then send our users back to LinkedIn in order to view relevant profiles. I'm not seeing any relevant API docs regarding this. Is this something that is possible to do via your API today or in the near future?

I'm attempting to build a LinkedIn based application using the Marketing Solutions API which will help users use LinkedIn more efficiently.
For that we require these extra permissions:
r_fullprofile
r_member_social
w_compliance
r_compliance
r_primarycontact
r_1st_connections
I'd like to know if there's anything that we need to do in order to be able to get those permissions granted.
My team and I have spent a lot of time and resources in the last few months researching and building the use case to provide value to LinkedIn professionals. It's really unfortunate that we're not able to proceed further. We're in a very difficult position.

According to https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/linkedin/shared/integrations/people/profile-api-v1-migration r_fullprofile was not accessible to Marketing Developer Program developers.
Really sorry for posting this question here (since due to some reason I am unable to post this on LinkedIn forums). I need to work on a project wherein I can increase the number of prospective customers for a company. We want to leverage LinkedIn's database for the same. I went through articles and the program that I got interested in was "LinkedIn Marketing Developer Program" and we will be looking forward to using it to create ads for specific audiences. But I am not able to see if I will have access to people search since this post says that I will have access to it but I cannot find confirmation on LinkedIn access documentation here. I have two queries: Is it possible to access people search API wherein we can get individuals in a particular demographic region under the "LinkedIn Marketing Developer Program"? If not this program, in general, can we get paid access to the people search API?
PS: Please do not mark this question as irrelevant as asking question on LinkedIn forum is disabled (cannot click submit button on the given link even after adding all the details to the form).
People Search is not offered by any of LinkedIn's Partner Programs.
I'm looking into an issue where a clients LinkedIn feeds on their website have stopped showing. Debugging the problem I've found that I get a 403 error shown below:
Member xxxxxx does not have permission to get company xxxxx
As the LinkedIn authentication process can be quite difficult to comprehend, I had a look online to see if others have had the same problem, and managed to find this. It suggests there have been recent changes to the LinkedIn API and users are now required to be the administrator of the company. What exactly does this mean?
From the very beginning we have simply been accessed the feeds by generating a url like this:
https://api.linkedin.com/v1/companies/xxxx/updates?oauth2_access_token=ACCESS_TOKEN
This has worked in the past. Do we need to regenerate the Secret and API keys?
Update
Looking at the announced changes here:
https://developer.linkedin.com/support/developer-program-transition
It suggests that the following endpoint will still work (which is exactly what I have):
/v1/companies/{id}
So I'm not sure what I'm missing.
is the access token generated by a account witch is Admin of that company page?
If not hen you will get 403.
The requester needs to be admin of that comapny page in order to get company updates.
