Accessing data via LinkedIn APIs - linkedin

We need to use LinkedIn for both or either of the following:
Pull-out user information e.g. Employers, Years worked with a
particular employer, Education etc. from LinkedIn Profile
When a user provide us data about their Employers, Years worked
with, Education etc. we can validate it with their LinkedIn Profile.
I want to know if it's possible.

Linkedin rest api to search people with their company name

I have come across a data collection problem, that is I want to download data from linkedin. For example, “My Company” is an organization, many people currently working there and may people who worked and let their jobs from “My Company”. I want to get the list of all people with their details who’s Experience section has Company name as “My Company” either present or previous experience. Is there any api available in linkedin for this purpose?
I think there was some APIs available like http://api.linkedin.com/v1/people-search, but is seems now those are not available. Anyone can suggest a method?

Is there any way to automatically access my education record on LinkedIn?

I want to create a webpage where users can access their education records from LinkedIn (which are then plotted on a timeline).
Using OAuth, I was only able to access my Name and Profile picture. It seems like LinkedIn heavily restricts access, even if users give their explicit consent. I don't see any way to request the scopes needed to request the education section of my profile. A similar experience is also outlined in this medium article:
The frustrations of dealing with the LinkedIn API
Alternatively, people have suggested using Selenium to scrape the public profiles of users. However, LinkedIn has taken up multiple legal fights against scrapers, so obviously they are not ok with it.
Considering that I want to build a service that benefits LinkedIn users and that I only want to access information of users that give their explicit consent to do so, it seems odd to me that this should not be possible on LinkedIn. Is there any way of doing this in 2023? I know similar questions have been asked before, but LinkedIn changed their policy quite a few times as far as I'm aware and previous questions date back many years.

Accessing LinkedIn Profile Data using the API

We want to enhance data we have on our own customers & prospects with their profile data from LinkedIn. I believe we can only pull down data from consented users which is fine, but I'm also trying to work out whether we need a specific licence for extracting this profile data via an API and to store against our profiles in our database.
Is there a specific developer product to support this requirement?
Thanks

LinkedIn API Partner program

We have an app that wants to save users time when they create their profile. Ideally this would happen by tapping into LinkedIn's API and get the work experience and education background.We heard the LinkedIn partner program might offer that.
Anyone out there who has done so?
What information does LinkedIn allow partners to get?
What is the annual cost to sign up?

How can I retrieve a list of all employees within a company through the LinkedIn API?

Years ago, someone asked on Stack Overflow if it were possible to retrieve a list of all employees who work at a company. I can do this through the LinkedIn UI, but I cannot seem to find any mechanism for this using the v2 API. The SO response mentions this used to be possible on the v1 API, but you had to request access through LinkedIn's "Vetted API Access Program." Unfortunately, the link on this response is now obsolete and does not send users to any such program.
How could I apply for this program nowadays? This is a specific situation to me and my company, so I would very much like to discuss this with someone at LinkedIn if some form of this Vetted API Access Program still exists. I do not wish to disclose the details of this request to the open internet.

I have confirmed through contacts inside LinkedIn that this API functionality has been removed. No further information has been provided, and LinkedIn tech support refuses to comment any more on this issue. Furthermore, no LinkedIn engineers will comment on this thread here.
This is bizarre since any regular user can do this functionality through the web front-end, but for some reason LinkedIn believes this would be a violation of privacy/security if we could do this programmatically.
Therefore, the only way to obtain this data would be through screen scraping. I wish I had better news, and I wish that LinkedIn would provide some reasoning for their changes, but alas this is where we are.

I just posted a very similar question because I ran into the same problem as you.
The application forms for Linkedin's current partner programs seem to be located here, however I can't tell you which one of those programs comes with the necessary API access rights and I am in general not sure if this API request is still allowed.
Edit: The Linkedin Help page states that applications for partner programs are currently unavailable?

In general, you can get a list of employees of a company if you scrape Linkedin profiles exhaustively, or if you have an exhaustive dataset of Linkedin profiles.
Each Linkedin profile contains a list of experiences that links to the company profile URL.
Thereafter, you will filter the dataset into profiles currently working at X company to get a list of employees currently working in a company. The same technique can also be used to retrieve a list of past employees.
And that is what we did. We scraped all public Linkedin profiles based in the US and made an alternative API known as Proxycurl Employee Listing API to Linkedin API to provide employee listing functionality.
Proxycurl's Employee Listing API will never be as exhaustive as Linkedin's dataset because not all profiles are made public, but most are. But will suffice to meet your needs.
