LinkedIn App

Open the following page: https://developer.linkedin.com. After clicking Create app and logging in with your LinkedIn account, you get to the form for the new app.

Enter a name, select the LinkedIn page and upload an app logo.

Then verify the company with the Verify button.

Copy the link and send it to the admin of the page, or open it yourself.

The admin can now verify the app for the company.

Now switch to the Products tab and add Marketing Developer Platform as a product.

Click the link View access form to open the form you need to fill in.

Fill in the whole form. LinkedIn then reviews and approves it. Only then does the app have the permissions to read the posts of the page.

Do not write that it will be used for a social feed on your own website, otherwise access will not be granted. Instead, write for example that the API will be used to publish news posts automatically on your own LinkedIn page.

The review usually doesn’t take long; in our test it took only about an hour. It may take longer, though. Once approved, Marketing Developer Platform should be listed under the added products.

In the Auth tab you find the client ID and client secret you need for the next steps. You also have to add the redirect URL under OAuth 2.0 settings: https://your-domain.com/auth/linkedin

Now continue with the steps described on this page: LinkedIn
