I was struggling for the complete guide to integration of login with Linkedin, and journey ends here. I could not get such nice explanation anywhere which I was expecting from Linkedin or Microsoft documentation. Thanks, this is the best resource I have found to accomplish my task. Thank you so much, I really appreciate your efforts.

[@Api-university]

Happy to hear that! :)

Is there an updated version of how to do this? I think the scopes are old ("r_..") and as I understand it the process is a little different now.

Hi Please assist! I am at the last part where I use the access token to retrieve the user's profile, email, or picture. However, I get a CORS policy blocking me. I am sure that I added the headers {"Authorization" : "Bearer " + accessToken} and it doesn't seem to work. I had to install the CORS add-on to unblock but this is not ideal. Please help.

I have the same problem like you, You can send the access token from your Front-end to Back-end , and send it to linkedIn. You can use postman to test it and copy the code which postman create and paste to your back-end code

Is it possible to retrieve the public profile url using the API?

[@venkateshkumar804]

One quick question. I hope API calls can be made at front end say react. Am i correct ? . Great video Btw :)

[@Api-university]

you will get the answer in parts 2 and 3. make sure to watch them!

Unable to retrieve access token: authorization code not found I am getting this error when making request.

[@Api-university]

You need to include the auth code in the request to the token endpoint.

While logging-in using linkedin, we can get user's Name, Email id, Profile picture. But can we get that users Resume, Skills, Job History, Address into our app??

[@Api-university]

Not out of the box, I guess you would need to negotiate with linkedin....

I'm developing a LinkedIn login on our Ionic app, how can we get the code from the URL? We are using in-app-browser.

[@Api-university]

you need to use a custom URL scheme. I explain this in my course: api-university.teachable.com/courses
