I am currently using a linkedin API with r_lightprofile in my application.
Two months ago, I sent a request for access to r_fullprofile using the Partner Program form.

I also sent a request to the Marketing Developer Platform, but the request is still pending (http://prntscr.com/opfvfx)
After all this, I got an email with a form to fill out information about the company.
But after filling out the form, I did not receive an answer that the company is suitable or not suitable for full access.
1) How long does it usually take to get access?
2) Does the linkedin API have support? Email, Live chat or something else?
3) Have I done everything for access? Maybe I missed something?
4) Does Linkedin send an email in case of failure?
It's been a long way for me too, I'll give you some random tips:
Make sure your app is connected to a LinkedIn company page and that the status is Verified. To do this, from the app dashboard, add to the Team members an administrator of the LinkedIn company page (as Admin member) and let him access the app dashboard. He should be able to see a Verify button to confirm the authenticity of the app.
The only support that was really helpful to me was Zendesk.

We are a platform that facilitates companies to hire analytics talent on demand. We only allow users to login to our platform with their Linkedin IDs so that we can validate their profile details and score them. Currently, the Linkedin API doesnot give us even the Linkedin-id of the user to help us manually check the profile. How can we correct this?
Ask for the r_liteprofile and r_emailaddress scopes as part of the OAuth flow. Then make GET calls to https://api.linkedin.com/v2/me and https://api.linkedin.com/v2/emailAddress?q=members&projection=(elements*(handle~))
to gather this information. See the documentation for more details.
However, please read LinkedIn's API Terms of Use to ensure your application is an acceptable use case. Also, the profile data you can receive is quite limits, so it may not give you the fields you want.
I have a LinkedIn app which can access the LinkedIn v2 API (tested with v2 endpoints), having the following privileges (scopes) according to the LinkedIn Developer Portal:
r_ad_campaigns
r_basicprofile
rw_organization.
The application is already enrolled in the Marketing Partner Program as far as my knowledge goes.
Regarding the above, I would like to have two questions/requests in which I would like to ask for your help.
I would like to modify the app permissions (scopes) to be the following:
r_liteprofile
r_emailaddress
r_member_social
w_member_social
rw_organization_admin
w_organization_social
r_organization_social
r_organization_lookup
rw_ads
r_ads_reporting
Currently there is no way to do so via the developer platform, and the LinkedIn support sent me here, so my question is: how can I get the app's privileges changed?
Interestingly enough, with the current set of privileges I was able to get an auth token for a given user for the r_emailaddress scope, but when I tried to call either https://api.linkedin.com/v2/clientAwareMemberHandles?q=members&projection=(elements*(primary,type,handle~)) or https://api.linkedin.com/v2/emailAddress?q=members&projection=(elements*(handle~)) I have received 403 Forbidden response, presumably due to the missing permission in question 1. Even if so, the token shouldn't have been issued in this case if I am not mistaken.
Could you please confirm if this is expected, or if something else is in play here?
I'm pretty certain it's that you must apply to the Marketing Partner Program.
I'm having the same issue as well, and I just applied to the program. Currently awaiting approval, but will confirm/edit answer once I get confirmation.
LinkedIn has made a lot of changed to their API over the past few months. Check out the latest permission changes relevant to this post:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/linkedin/shared/references/migrations/marketing-permissions-migration
EDIT: Confirmed. I didn't receive a notification that I was approved, however, it's 30 days later after applying and I just noticed there was a new product available under "Products" once you are logged in and on your App in the developer portal. You have to add the "Marketing Developer Platform" product, and once again fill out an application:
After completing, they say they will provide you with confirmation within 90 days.
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?
I had created app that used to get authenticated by users for their contacts, sending messages to those contacts etc. When linked in changed their API access system in May, suddenly our application stopped working.
In the doc there is nothing clearly written about these kind of permissions now or with what kind of membership program I can get access to these again. There is one section where contacts info can be fetched when we apply for partnership program with Apply with LinkedIn button. But I am not sure its of my use.
Access to r_contactinfo permission:
As per the Linkedin website,
The r_contactinfo member permission will now be associated exclusively
with Apply with LinkedIn. As a result, you will only be able to
request this member permission if your application has been approved
by LinkedIn for this particular use.
What you need to do:
Apply for partner status with LinkedIn (Apply with Linkedin), explaining what your integration is and how it works. If it meets their criteria, then you will get access to the above endpoint.
Check this link for further details.
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.
Heres the link if you want to Apply for Linkedin
