Asking the question here as the linkedin help forum directed to post things related to API on stackoverflow.
I am developing a feature on our org website to show the top 5 company page feeds setup in linkedin. Ive already setup the required access in developer.linkedin and the whole flow works in the developer.linkedin REST console to fetch the feed.
I am currently recieving this error when i try from my machine to fetch the auth token with a valid client id and secret created.
https://www.linkedin.com/oauth/v2/accessToken?grant_type=client_credentials&client_id=OMITTED&client_secret=OMITTED
{
"error": "access_denied",
"error_description": "This application is not allowed to create application tokens" }
The documentation also mentions that this flow isn't available by default and the users will need to contact linkedin.
https://developer.linkedin.com/docs/v2/oauth2-client-credentials-flow
"By default, your application will not have the ability to use LinkedIn's client credentials flow. Contact us to have your application granted permission to use this flow."
What would be the next steps in requesting access to this flow for my org?.
As outlined here:
By default, your application will not have the ability to use LinkedIn's client credentials flow. Contact us to have your application granted permission to use this flow.
The next step would be to contact them directly or Apply to become a Partner
and if accepted you'll be granted access to additional data outside of the scope of the user authentication flow (which basically means you'll be able to make calls directly from your application to access certain information)
I think the answer is well explained by API-University, since the creation of an application in order to get the access_token, will solve the communication issue.

How to get access to LinkedIn API Client using Client Credential Flow (2-legged OAuth) when my usecase does not fit in one of the LinkedIn partners scope? How/where should I apply to get access? Or does it mean only the 4 usecases in this link can use server-side-only access to LinkedIn (without explicit user authentication)?
Currently, when I try to authenticate and get an access token, I have the following error:
{
"error": "access_denied",
"error_description": "This application is not allowed to create application tokens"
}
My usecase is to save time in our internal process following an interview we had with entrepreneurs. We generate a report and, instead of manually picking their profile information from LinkedIn, we would like to pre-fill the report using the LinkedIn API.
The LinkedIn support redirects to either Stack Overflow for API support or the link above to request access (which is for specific usecases only)

My end goal is to register my API to receive notifications of leads generated by LinkedIn for my business's Company Page. The docs here say I need to register at https://api.linkedin.com/v2/leadNotificationUrls using the r_ads_ge_automation permission. I'm trying to acquire this type of access token by using a web browser to hit https://www.linkedin.com/oauth/v2/authorization?response_type=code&client_id=client_id_for_my_application&redirect_uri=https://my.company.net/api/oauth/linkedin&state=Testing12345&scope=r_ads_leadgen_automation, then logging in as a user that is an admin for the respective company page, then acquiring authentication code, and finally requesting an access token.
The problem is that when I try to hit https://www.linkedin.com/oauth/v2/authorization (with the query params above), I get an error response stating "r_ads_leadgen is not authorized for your application". I can't find any kind of application configuration that is supposed to give this permission to my application.
Can anyone help? Thank you
Permissions are offered to select Partners only. Have you applied to a Partner Program https://business.linkedin.com/marketing-solutions/marketing-partners/become-a-partner?
We use the LinkedIn API to list companies that a user admins.
We have our App set to get r_fullprofile and rw_company_admin when the user grants permission.
We're trying to list all of the companies the user has admin access to via:
http://api.linkedin.com/v1/companies:(id,name,square-logo-url)?is-company-admin=true
<error>
<status>403</status>
<timestamp>1432323149224</timestamp>
<request-id>XXXXXXXXXX</request-id>
<error-code>0</error-code>
<message>Member [user id] does not have permission to get companies as admin.</message>
</error>
According to the Manage Company Pages docs, as long as we have the rw_company_admin scope, we should be able to call this endpoint.
I've read through the Developer Program Transition docs (https://developer.linkedin.com/support/developer-program-transition) but it doesn't seem to affect this usage of the API.
ETA: This has been flagged as a possible duplicate of LinkedIn API unable to view _any_ company profile
That question is about fetching details for a single company (which the user may or may not administrate). My question is about listing companies that the user specifically does administrate.
According to new api changes user should be administrator of target company. Read this .
All calls to Companies API endpoints will require the authenticated user to be flagged as an administrator of the LinkedIn Company Page that is the target of the API call. You become the administrator of a page when you create it. If the page already exists, you will have to contact the existing administrator to grant admin access to other LinkedIn members.
I faced the same problem and the problem was with the initial authorization code. You should mention the scope=rw_company_admin while doing the initial redirect URL call. Something like this -
https://www.linkedin.com/oauth/v2/authorization?response_type=code&client_id=your_client_id&redirect_uri=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com/&state=12345&scope=rw_company_admin%20r_emailaddress%20w_share%20r_basicprofile
we used to have a working augmented system to login facebook and get&manage advertisement data. then we need to change the facebook account password of the user we used for login automatically in php. and old access token we used in PHP to login facebook is now not working.
I have tried to create a new access token with Graph API Explorer but I've got this error: appsecret_proof validation. then when i commented out this check and continue then I have recieved this error (line breaks added):
{"error":
{"message":
"(#294) Managing advertisements requires the extended permission \
ads_management and an application that is whitelisted to \
access the Ads API",
"type":"OAuthException",
"code":294
}
}
I almost don't know anything about facebook api how to use it.
Could you give me a detailed explanation of how i can create and access token with the ads_management right?
As Max points out, the Facebook documentation is the best source for detailed explanations of how to get access tokens and the ads_management extended permission. The Facebook Ads API guide overview provides the specific details you request including the link to the application form for receiving Ads API app approval.
The Ads API is a restricted platform which may only be accessed by whitelisted Apps.
There are some question on the StackOverflow about facebook & email, but after reading them I still have a problem with retrieving users emails.
Our app implemented on Flex and uses REST API. And previously it used notifications.sendEmail.
App has publish_stream and email permissions (checked with users.hasAppPermission).
I tried users.getInfo for get proxied_email address.
But this function does not return email address of the friend..
Then I performed the following test using Graph API and web browser:
Opened the following link for authorization with extended permissions:
https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/authorize?client_id=[app_id]&scope=publish_stream,offline_access,email&redirect_uri=http://www.facebook.com/connect/login_success.html
It returned code for retrieving access_token
Oppened the following link for retrieving access_token
graph.facebook.com/oauth/access_token?client_id=[app_id]&client_secret=[secret]&code=[code]&redirect_uri=http://www.facebook.com/connect/login_success.html
It returned access_token. And now I can use GraphAPI.
Tested with my account
graph.facebook.com/me?access_token=[token]
Ok. It returned my emal.
Tested with my friend
graph.facebook.com/[friend_id]?access_token=[token]
And here is no email field!
So my questions are
Where did I go wrong?
Is it possible to get friend's email via Facebook API (GraphAPI or REST API)?
Thanks.
Email permission gives access to your email only.
If you look at the extended permissions page it says:
Likewise, to protect the privacy of users who have not explicitly authorized your application, your application will only be able to access the basic profile information about a user's friends, like their names and profile pictures. If your application needs to access other data about a user's friends to enable social functionality, you will need to request some of the special friends permissions listed below.
And if you look at the table below, it says "not available" for email permission for friends.
there ought to be some way else how does JanRain does it?
http://www.janrain.com/products/engage/invite-friends
I think that getting friends' email ids is not permitted by Facebook; at least, that's what my research tells me.
#helloworld: Who told you that janrain gets users' friends' email ids?
Only with the extended permission you can specify via the scope attribute, when obtaining the access token
Example:
https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/authorize?
client_id=...&
redirect_uri=http://www.example.com/callback&
scope=email
