LinkedIn API unable to view _any_ company profile

Question

I\'m trying to figure out how to access any company profile on LinkedIn. For example, the REST endpoint API for LinkedIn itself is:

https://api.link         


        

Answer 1

For accessing the company details from LinkedIn you must make a authenticated request(You must be the administrator of the company). For authenticated calls follow this link. https://developer.linkedin.com/docs/oauth2#!

Anyway, you must have the permission rw_company_admin to access the company details. For that, you must check Default Application Permissions in your App settings and also important to note that when you request for an Authorization Code you must specify the scope.

Use this method to get an authorization code for a company

https://www.linkedin.com/oauth/v2/authorization?response_type=code&client_id=123456789&redirect_uri=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.example.com%2Fauth%2Flinkedin&state=987654321&scope=rw_company_admin
