I am looking for LinkedIn crawler agent name. I have found the names of Google, Facebook and Pinterest ones but I can't find Linkedin crawler reference. I have looked on LinkedIn's developer website but can't find any reference. On Google, search results are saturated with resources to scrape content from LinkedIn.
According to my logs, the name is LinkedInBot/1.0.
Here's how the bot identifies itself at the log when doing a GET.
LinkedInBot/1.0 (compatible; Mozilla/5.0; Jakarta
Commons-HttpClient/4.3 +http://www.linkedin.com)

I am attempting to gain access to the news feed or home in a user's LinkedIn profile using the LinkedIn Developer APIs.
When I went through LinkedIn Developer documentation, I haven't been able to discover a proper reference to a doc associated with this feature.
Does this suggest that we have to be a LinkedIn certified API partner to achieve this target? If not, where can I find an appropriate documentation for this.
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.
As part of the reponse to my webAPI queries, I currently receive an external link to the DEEZER service, but I'm looking to retrieve links to iTunes, Amazon.
Is there any additional setup needed to get these links to Amazon and iTunes returned? There appears to be no documentation of the process, and the rep at Gracenote has confirmed this is a feature (amazon and itunes links).
Thanks!
Answering my own question - Gracenote developer accounts don't get access to iTunes and other vendors unless you have a paid account. You can arrange a sample account to get time restricted access to these IDs, but ultimately you must have a paid account to develop against.
We are running a website(due to security reason cannot disclose the name until we find this solution) and we keep on getting referral link on our analytic account(see image) why would aliexpress and other sites would ask visitors to visit our website, is our application compromised so they are using our website? or this is Chinese being Chinese
This is clearly referrer spam and doesn't correspond to any traffic to your Web site. The spammers basically send fake pageviews directly to Google Analytics (using randomly chosen property IDs) and their aim is to trick you into following the referrer URLs. Some time ago I wrote an article that explains this in depth and that discusses different approaches to eliminate that referrer spam from Google Analytics:

I have a question about the possibility of writing a comment or review on a website by having to sign into LinkedIn first. Just like how you can Sign into Twitter and post comments, can you do the same with LinkedIn.
I want to make sure that not just anyone is posting comments on a site - that is, I want to verify that its a legitimate person commenting.
LinkedIn does support this functionality - it's used by AOL on sites like their Defense page:
http://defense.aol.com/
The tutorials page for LinkedIn includes an example of using LinkedIn for Login and Registration on a site:
https://developer.linkedin.com/documents/tutorials
Or you can simply use Login with LinkedIn directly (if you don't want to integrate with an existing registration system):
https://developer.linkedin.com/documents/sign-linkedin
Hope this helps!
