How do I Send Linkedin Friend Requests via 3rd Party App? - linkedin

Is there a way for a 3rd party app to do requests such as: POST friend/requests GET friend/request data?
What are the limitations per request are they based on the user or the app and which period of time is the limit set to?

You must be approved by linked in to do this. The documentation should make it a little clearer. Hope this helps!

You have to use Invitation API. To access this API you have to be enroll in partner program.

Using Linkedin API, how can I get the user's profile statistics or activity?

I want to show's the user their activity & statistics of their profile.
But unfortunately, I couldn't find any API endpoint related to this data on LinkedIn API documentation.
Thank you.
I tried on this link: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/linkedin/
The Compliance APIs may provide what you're looking for, at least in terms of activity.

How do I use a web hook using Stripe and ARMember in Wordpress

I am working on a project with a third party website, in which I will create a membership recurrent plan, gather customer's information, store it, and charge the customer. Upon subscribing, the customer's credentials and information will be passed via an API to a third party website, where they will be able to access the service.
For the membership setup on my website, I am using ARMember, which is connected to a Stripe account. I am working with a developer for the whole API setup with the 3rd party website, but as a requirement, my developer is asking me to provide the webhooks We need a hook that can give user-object or user-signup details after the successful payment event.
Forgive me for being a newbie, as I am not a developer nor anything close to that. I have never worked with webhooks before.
In looking into ARMember's webhook documentation I found this, which I believe it is what my dev needs, arm_payment_gateway_validation_from_setup, however, there are no clear instructions on what to do with this, or how to use it. I guess they assume users seeking webhooks know exactly what to do with them, which is not my case. Please help anyone! Will be so grateful!

3rd party cookies & Google OAUTH

I started working on server side for my current porject and one of the biggest issues that i facing is with Google O-Auth. Since i am not experienced with the server i decided to use firebase throughout my project.
3rd party cookies are need to be enabled for Google OAuth. I am trying to find my way around it(means: even if the 3rd party cookies are disabled a user can login through google).
First Qestion: Is it even possible?..
i guess it is because i have tried few popular websites like bitbukcet where even if you switch off 3rd party cookies, the O auth works perfectly.
If yes then Second Question: How do i implement it? i was reading some Google Developer docs and found this "another workaround is to implement server-side OAuth 2.0 flows". I really do not understand this.
What i have tried:
I have tried two things, first the typical and easier way of going with firebase auth and google login with popup. Second, Login through GAPI AUTH.
I am looking forward to any answer.
You can look at this link for an overview on how to implement server side based Oauth2 flow for Google. Please ignore the bits which are youtube specific but the instructions should apply to any google auth flow.
Basically you do not need to include any client side JS files on your webpage etc since they don't work with 3p cookies blocked. The server side flow is free from that restriction.
Edit: Adding a more general link for server side Oauth2 flow

LinkedIn New API - Can't Get r_network Permission

I inherited a program that was written with the old LinkedIn API, and I'm trying to migrate it to the new API. When I try to get the r_basicprofile permission, my oauth token works. However, when I try r_network or rw_nus, I get a response
invalid scope -- your application has not been authorized for
r_network.
Yet, when I go to www.linkedin.com/developer/apps/xxxx/auth, the boxes for r_network and rw_nus are checked.
I.e., A request to
https://www.linkedin.com/uas/oauth2/authorization?response_type=code&client_id=xxxxxx&scope=r_basicprofile&state=yyyy&redirect_uri=http%3A%2F%2Fkalatublog.com%2Fwp-content%2Fmu-plugins%2Fimb-en%2Fhelpers%2Fsocial-connect%2Fapi%2Ffinalize.php%3Fapi%3Dlinkedin%26ch%zzzzz
works, but a request to
https://www.linkedin.com/uas/oauth2/authorization?response_type=code&client_id=xxxxxx&scope=r_network&state=yyyy&redirect_uri=http%3A%2F%2Fkalatublog.com%2Fwp-content%2Fmu-plugins%2Fimb-en%2Fhelpers%2Fsocial-connect%2Fapi%2Ffinalize.php%3Fapi%3Dlinkedin%26ch%zzzzz
gives that error. What am I doing wrong?
As of May 15,
After the grace period expires, several REST API endpoints will no longer be available for general use. The following endpoints are the only ones that will remain available for use:
Profile API — /v1/people/~ `
Share API — /v1/people/~/shares
Companies API — /v1/companies/{id}
If your application is currently using any other API services (e.g. Connections, Groups, People Search, Invitation, Job Search, etc.) you will have to apply to become a member of a relevant Partner Program that provides the necessary API access to continue to leverage any of the endpoints that are not listed above.
It looks like linkedin no longer wants to share anything with their API. Creating a new app indicates that the only possible options are r_basicprofile, r_emailaddress, rw_company_admin, and w_share:
TLDR: they have locked down the API and restricted the usage to an extremely limited set of access points.
I did some more digging. The linkedin website is misleading. On my app linkedin page, it says that I'm approved for rw_nus and r_network, but on this page
https://developer.linkedin.com/support/developer-program-transition
it says those are no longer approved.
So the app home page in linkedin incorrectly said I had those permissions.

Get linkedin public status updates

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!
