Sorry if this is question is not suitable for stackoverflow.
I've got access token from Linkedin API. I am trying to use it however I am not sure how to include my access_token. I cannot find any example on documentation.
base_url = f'https://api.linkedin.com/v2/people?access_token={linkedin_key}&format=json'
requests.get(base_url).json()
This outputs
{'serviceErrorCode': 65604,
'message': 'Empty oauth2 access token',
'status': 401}
does anyone know what's wrong? Thank you.
The access token param you need to pass is oauth2_access_token
not access_token
.
For example:
https://api.linkedin.com/v2/me?oauth2_access_token={linkedin_key}
I can't find it in the docs and it's been a while, but that's how I use it in my app.
I think they want you to pass it in the headers based on my reading of their docs
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/linkedin/shared/authentication/authorization-code-flow?context=linkedin/context#step-4-make-authenticated-requests
requests.get(base_url,headers={"Authorization":"Bearer {access_token}"}).json()
