Until yesterday, this link https://www.linkedin.com/people/export-settings would take you to a page on LinkedIn that provided an option to download your connections in a few different format. Today it doesn't have that option and instead has a link to instructions to download an archive of your data (which is supposedly emailed to you within 72 hours).
I could not find any new about this, and am wondering if this is indeed a change LinkedIn has made for all users going forward.
LinkedIn has removed the option to export your contacts. Instead, the company is asking users to request an archive of their data, but that process can take up to 72 hours to complete.
Check this link:

Try this as an alternative:

It does appear that the link I mentioned above (https://www.linkedin.com/people/export-settings) has been discontinued. Here is a post on LinkedIn forums where the company rep indicates this change in policy:

I was able to pass a simple URL (thousands) 6 days ago to the vision client and obtain an output. However,right now, it is not possible. What changed? I don't like the idea of a simple workaround by downloading the data and then placing that as input.
What happened Google? Why did this changed? Should we move to Azure, AWS?
Anybody got the URL working without the workaround
If you are using http URLs as input, it is possible that the Google crawling bot fails to fetch the URL you provided at that specific moment.
There are many reasons for this, for example:
The site of your URL is down, or it temporarily blocked Google bot, or it updated robot.txt to stop the Google bot to crawl URLs.
You can retry after a while, or you can download those URLs by yourself.
I guess if you try again today, it may recover to work.
Why don't you try to use base64 encoded string instead of image URL.
I had the same experience to get a response from Google OCR API. It failed two or three times out of ten API calls. It really got me stressed because I got no clue.
Since I've changed my code to base64 accidentally, It worked well. 100% response. Never fail!!
Good luck!
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.
I have just one basic question about the LinkedIn API, I'm new to that and I don't even use LinkedIn.
Imagine that I have this link: https://www.linkedin.com/nhome/updates?topic=5967002483262787584 - how can I restore the company ID, updateKey for the company or something similar to that? Simply I want to get any information and I know how to use the company API but this is a bit problem (that cannot be solved by this API) and I don't know how to solve that...
Thanks a lot for every single help.
Ok - First take a look at this information:
How to get company logo from Linkedin API?
Then take a look at this web page:
https://www.linkedin.com/nhome/updates?topic=5967002483262787584
The other problem is similar to your problem. You will have to scrape the web page to get the information. If you look at the <TITLE>...</TITILE> part on the IBM web page you will see it says "IBM | LinkedIn".
That is how you get the company's name off of the web page's HTML.
The LinkedIn API says:
https://developer.linkedin.com/docs/fields/company-profile
Check out their Profile Information. Note the "name" field? The company's name should be in that field also.
(BTW: I do NOT work for Stack Overflow or LinkedIn. Just in case you were wondering. I'm just a good samaritan helping out. :-) )
Update: I just re-read your request. If you know what the company's name is you should be able to use the API to reload their profile which has their ID number on it. Don't know about an update key. Do you get what I am talking about?
Please don't kill me if I'm asking this question in the wrong place.
I have followed these instructions to exclude myself from Google Analytics. How can I verify that my filter is working?
Well, I would say to checkout Real-time reports, but they don't apply filters and will show you all traffic.
One way I check to see if they are working (and I am assuming you've applied a IP filter), is to create two Views (profiles), one that includes only your IP and one that excludes your IP. Then, go visit a bunch of pages on your site and wait a few hours (2-3 usually) and you should start seeing data in the internal only profile, and not seeing data in the external profile.
There could be another way, but this has worked for me.
I have a web app that I deployed in AppHarbor with Google Analytics. Development is still ongoing and I test it very often live to checkout for example stuffs I did with the CSS, etc.
Everything is working fine but I'd like to know how many times I am accessing the website apart from the rest of the visitors who visits it. When checking the reports in Google Analytics it only shows me the ISPs of the visitors. I'll need something more drilled down like an IP address, but this seems to go against Google Analytic's policy and I do not know if this is even possible still.
Like right now I have 72 visits. But I have been testing so a lot of those could just be me. Would be good to know the actual visitor count.
I know this is probably a little late but you can set a filter to ingore your own traffic from reports. Here is how you do it.
In addition for adding a deprecated variable and using filters, you can build the code so that it only prints the tracking code if e.g. an identifier cookie is not found. Other common option is a URL parameter.
You can then set this cookie for your browser and be excluded from traffic.
