Hie
I am using linkedin-j apis and trying to search the available public feeds for a set of keywords say oracle and google. That is, i should get all the feeds which mentions either oracle or google in it.
It is possible in facebook and twitter. Is it doable in linkedin-j as well? I could not find apis other then search people, job and companies.
If yes please guide which api to use? site does not seems to have relevant docs.
I found from documentation that linkedIn does not allow all that. It only can pull information specific to the authenticated user.

Goodmorning,
I’ve been looking into the documentation for the linkedin API.
I'm interested in the compliance solution, in particular the following APIs:
Organization Lookup API
Company Search API
Organization Access Control API
Some APIs of the People integration
I didn't understand if the compliance solution is accessible or not and if I should apply for it.
I've posted this question on the microsoft docs Q&A section and they told me to post it here where the linkedin API team can help me.
Thank you,
Giovanni.
Apparently, it is not possible to request access to the Compliance API, see here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/linkedin/shared/authentication/getting-access#compliance-closed
I realized that LinkedIn from the service voyager use

But sending messages is not mentioned in this document

You should go to this link and register a ticket and say that you want to use this access

Complete the information for the LinkedIn development team to review
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.
I am currently trying to access the tables of an advertising account that I manage using the LinkedIn API.
Following the instructions I have obtained on the internet, I successfully connect to the LinkedIn Company API, but actually I am needing to be able to visualize the tables related to LinkedIn Ads to obtain information that I am currently needing regarding campaigns.
Investigating on the Internet, I realized that I probably need a permission called r_ad_campaigns to be able to access this type of tables, but I can not currently enable it.
Could you tell me how to connect specifically to the LinkedIn Ads API? It is worth noting that I have already taken the steps of the LinkedIn developer and have the credentials "Client ID" and "Client Secret".
By "access the tables of an advertising account" do you mean that you are are looking for a way to report on your campaigns/accounts?
Not all APIs are available for open access. You can apply for access here and select your use case: https://business.linkedin.com/marketing-solutions/marketing-partners/become-a-partner. If your use case is approved, you will be able to request additional scopes.
I am trying to get latest 3 public activities of our company from linkedin (ex: http://www.linkedin.com/company/4043/activity) and present it on our website but unfortunately I dont see a clear explanation to do so in the API documentations. I registered an API Key but I am confused if I need to do OAuth if so against what and then what API to call to get publicly available info?
Is OAuth really needed for something that is available?
Can I store an OAuth token for an internal user and keep fetching data on that? I would really do not want to authenticated the site visitors with oauth to get free linkedin content.
This question is on the lines of this one, but I still wanted to ask and see if I could get a better response/answer.
To get the company updates from the LinkedIn API, you will need to reference the following document:
https://developer.linkedin.com/reading-company-updates
The API is currently in preview mode, but the above document addresses your question re: OAuth as well as shows the specific calls as well as sample output. If you have any questions after reviewing the docs, please feel free to visit our developer forums at:
https://developer.linkedin.com/forums/rest
And one of someone from our team would be more than happy to help you further.
Enjoy!

I work in a small company and we - as many others = use google analytics to monitor how well/bad our site is doing.
To access this information we put the google account's details (username and pwd) and off we go.
I now want to share this information with one of my clients but I don't want to give him my google account.
can anybody suggest the best way or the best practices to achieve this ?
Many Thanks

Given that you want to "publish it", you might want to extract the relevant data via the Google Analytics API, which provides read-only access, works just like an ordinary Google Data API--this way you can serve it from your own Site without restriction.
That still leaves the presentation of that data, but at least you have complete control over it.
the client can give you HIS account and you give his account view rights
You create anothe rgoogle account just for read only access, give it read access to your google analytics and send the password that client.
I dont really see the issue here ;)
Check out EmbeddedAnalytics. This is a service tailored specifically to allow you to define nice looking charts against your Google Analytics data and then embed them on to your site. The service utilizes the Google Analytics API.
(disclosure: I work with EmbeddedAnalytics).
You may now use Google Analytics Embed API for the purpose. Clients still do need to have Google account.
