How to get your LinkedIn Access Token

Register the app in LinkedIn Developer Network

• Go to LinkedIn Developer Network and create an app;
• Select Test University or PersonalDev can be used as the company associated with the app without verification;

• Once you made your Application go to your App and go to "Products"
• From there Select "Share on LinkedIn" and "Sign In with LinkedIn using OpenID Connect" and "Request Access" For both of them

• Once you have added your Products go to https://www.linkedin.com/developers/tools/oauth/
• Select "Create a new access token" and click "Create Token" Select your app and make sure you have the openid, profile and w_member_social scopes selected.
• Press "Request Access Token" and you will be asked to login. After Successfully logging in you will be given your Access Token.

Notices

I suggest for your ln_access_token you use a Github Secret. (Whats a Github Secret check here https://docs.github.com/en/actions/security-guides/encrypted-secrets)

Thanks to https://github.com/gfiocco/linkedin-node-api as the LinkedIn Docs are wierd..

Mentioned as a Idea in #5

Owner entity type person is not supported

Hey, can you help here ?

Linkedin-RSS/index.js

Line 46 in f7f98d9

owner: "urn:li:person:" + ownerId,

Looks like it should be like this: "author": "urn:li:person:8675309"
