I inherited a program that was written with the old LinkedIn API, and I'm trying to migrate it to the new API. When I try to get the r_basicprofile permission, my oauth token works. However, when I try r_network or rw_nus, I get a response
invalid scope -- your application has not been authorized for
r_network.
Yet, when I go to www.linkedin.com/developer/apps/xxxx/auth, the boxes for r_network and rw_nus are checked.
I.e., A request to
https://www.linkedin.com/uas/oauth2/authorization?response_type=code&client_id=xxxxxx&scope=r_basicprofile&state=yyyy&redirect_uri=http%3A%2F%2Fkalatublog.com%2Fwp-content%2Fmu-plugins%2Fimb-en%2Fhelpers%2Fsocial-connect%2Fapi%2Ffinalize.php%3Fapi%3Dlinkedin%26ch%zzzzz
works, but a request to
https://www.linkedin.com/uas/oauth2/authorization?response_type=code&client_id=xxxxxx&scope=r_network&state=yyyy&redirect_uri=http%3A%2F%2Fkalatublog.com%2Fwp-content%2Fmu-plugins%2Fimb-en%2Fhelpers%2Fsocial-connect%2Fapi%2Ffinalize.php%3Fapi%3Dlinkedin%26ch%zzzzz
gives that error. What am I doing wrong?
As of May 15,
After the grace period expires, several REST API endpoints will no longer be available for general use. The following endpoints are the only ones that will remain available for use:
Profile API — /v1/people/~ `
Share API — /v1/people/~/shares
Companies API — /v1/companies/{id}
If your application is currently using any other API services (e.g. Connections, Groups, People Search, Invitation, Job Search, etc.) you will have to apply to become a member of a relevant Partner Program that provides the necessary API access to continue to leverage any of the endpoints that are not listed above.
It looks like linkedin no longer wants to share anything with their API. Creating a new app indicates that the only possible options are r_basicprofile, r_emailaddress, rw_company_admin, and w_share:
TLDR: they have locked down the API and restricted the usage to an extremely limited set of access points.
I did some more digging. The linkedin website is misleading. On my app linkedin page, it says that I'm approved for rw_nus and r_network, but on this page
https://developer.linkedin.com/support/developer-program-transition
it says those are no longer approved.
So the app home page in linkedin incorrectly said I had those permissions.
Heres the link if you want to Apply for Linkedin

I am currently using a linkedin API with r_lightprofile in my application.
Two months ago, I sent a request for access to r_fullprofile using the Partner Program form.
https://business.linkedin.com/marketing-solutions/contact-us
http://prntscr.com/opfnpd
I also sent a request to the Marketing Developer Platform, but the request is still pending (http://prntscr.com/opfvfx)
After all this, I got an email with a form to fill out information about the company.
But after filling out the form, I did not receive an answer that the company is suitable or not suitable for full access.
1) How long does it usually take to get access?
2) Does the linkedin API have support? Email, Live chat or something else?
3) Have I done everything for access? Maybe I missed something?
4) Does Linkedin send an email in case of failure?
It's been a long way for me too, I'll give you some random tips:
Make sure your app is connected to a LinkedIn company page and that the status is Verified. To do this, from the app dashboard, add to the Team members an administrator of the LinkedIn company page (as Admin member) and let him access the app dashboard. He should be able to see a Verify button to confirm the authenticity of the app.
The only support that was really helpful to me was Zendesk.
I have a LinkedIn app which can access the LinkedIn v2 API (tested with v2 endpoints), having the following privileges (scopes) according to the LinkedIn Developer Portal:
r_ad_campaigns
r_basicprofile
rw_organization.
The application is already enrolled in the Marketing Partner Program as far as my knowledge goes.
Regarding the above, I would like to have two questions/requests in which I would like to ask for your help.
I would like to modify the app permissions (scopes) to be the following:
r_liteprofile
r_emailaddress
r_member_social
w_member_social
rw_organization_admin
w_organization_social
r_organization_social
r_organization_lookup
rw_ads
r_ads_reporting
Currently there is no way to do so via the developer platform, and the LinkedIn support sent me here, so my question is: how can I get the app's privileges changed?
Interestingly enough, with the current set of privileges I was able to get an auth token for a given user for the r_emailaddress scope, but when I tried to call either https://api.linkedin.com/v2/clientAwareMemberHandles?q=members&projection=(elements*(primary,type,handle~)) or https://api.linkedin.com/v2/emailAddress?q=members&projection=(elements*(handle~)) I have received 403 Forbidden response, presumably due to the missing permission in question 1. Even if so, the token shouldn't have been issued in this case if I am not mistaken.
Could you please confirm if this is expected, or if something else is in play here?
I'm pretty certain it's that you must apply to the Marketing Partner Program.
I'm having the same issue as well, and I just applied to the program. Currently awaiting approval, but will confirm/edit answer once I get confirmation.
LinkedIn has made a lot of changed to their API over the past few months. Check out the latest permission changes relevant to this post:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/linkedin/shared/references/migrations/marketing-permissions-migration
EDIT: Confirmed. I didn't receive a notification that I was approved, however, it's 30 days later after applying and I just noticed there was a new product available under "Products" once you are logged in and on your App in the developer portal. You have to add the "Marketing Developer Platform" product, and once again fill out an application:
After completing, they say they will provide you with confirmation within 90 days.
I had created app that used to get authenticated by users for their contacts, sending messages to those contacts etc. When linked in changed their API access system in May, suddenly our application stopped working.
In the doc there is nothing clearly written about these kind of permissions now or with what kind of membership program I can get access to these again. There is one section where contacts info can be fetched when we apply for partnership program with Apply with LinkedIn button. But I am not sure its of my use.
Access to r_contactinfo permission:
As per the Linkedin website,
The r_contactinfo member permission will now be associated exclusively
with Apply with LinkedIn. As a result, you will only be able to
request this member permission if your application has been approved
by LinkedIn for this particular use.
What you need to do:
Apply for partner status with LinkedIn (Apply with Linkedin), explaining what your integration is and how it works. If it meets their criteria, then you will get access to the above endpoint.
Check this link for further details.
Our site is using rw_nus and r_network permissions from Linkedin to work properly. We were fetching feeds from Linkedin and were able to post comments and likes. But now we are getting following error:
error=invalid_scope&error_description=Your+application+has+not+been+authorized+for+the+scope+%22r_fullprofile%22r_network%22rw_nus
We found the following link that says:
Linkedin deprecating rw_nus from API
Is it now even possible to get these permissions once again or its over now? If yes, then how to get approval for them?
Deprecation of rw_nus permission:
The rw_nus member permission will be deprecated as of May 12, 2015 Linkedin API changes. Going forward, if your application shares content on behalf of a LinkedIn member, your application will require the w_share member permission to be granted.
The new w_share permission will grant you the permission to share content on LinkedIn as you could previously, however you will no longer be able to read shared content from a user's LinkedIn feed using the API.
So, if you were using the following link to request an Authorization code
https://www.linkedin.com/uas/oauth2/authorization?scope=rw_nus
Now, you’ll have to ue –
https://www.linkedin.com/uas/oauth2/authorization?scope=w_share
How to fix invalid scope authorization error:
To correct this issue, ensure that the scope parameter in your authorization workflow is no longer requesting any of the following member permissions:
r_fullprofile, r_network, r_contactinfo, rw_nus, rw_groups, w_messages
For access to these permissions, you will have to apply to become a member of a relevant Partner Program that provides the necessary API access to the required endpoints.
So apply for partner status with LinkedIn, explaining what your integration is and how it works. If it meets the criteria of "we feel that they’re providing value to members, developers and LinkedIn," then one or more endpoints will remain open for that app, and ONLY that app.

I'm working on updates of exisitng iOS app which uses LinkedIn REST API.
Earlier to get posts of user I made request to https://api.linkedin.com/v1/people/{id}/network/updates?format=json
I need to get r_network permission to accomplish that. But now with changes in API that request doesn't work. I couldn't find any useful info in Developer Program Transition Guide nor in developer docs.
According to the transition guide, there are only 3 endpoints that are generally available:
Profile API — /v1/people/~
Share API — /v1/people/~/shares
Companies API — /v1/companies/{id}
Your request is clearly not one of these endpoints. If you have not begun a discussion with people in the partnership program, you should start that process now.
