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."

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 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.
I would like to use LinkedIn's Connections API to retrieve the 1st degree connections of users registering on my application. But, "The use of this API is restricted to those developers approved by LinkedIn and subject to applicable data restrictions in their agreements.". Has anyone experience in getting approved and what are the main points to consider before applying? And, how can we apply? Thanks!
To access any APIs you'll first need to setup a business page on LinkedIn (instructions here) for app verification then head to the developer page to create an app
To access their restricted APIs you'll want to reach out to their support team via the contact us page and request access; specifically looking for a Relationship Manager if you have an existing business relationship or a Business Development contact per the compliance docs:
The use of these APIs is restricted to developers approved by LinkedIn.
Reach out to your LinkedIn Relationship Manager or
Business Development contact as you will need to meet certain criteria and sign an API agreement with data restrictions
in order to use this integration.
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?
