I'm trying to login using LinkedIn on my site on Google App Engine. It was all working until today. Now I get a request denied error when trying to login using Linkedin. It works on the local server, it does not work on App Engine.
I'm using a boilerplate on Googles App Engine platform. I did not write this code but it has not changed so I don't think it is the code.
HTTP/1.1" 999
Error 500: No JSON object could be decoded
elif provider_name == "linkedin":
callback_url = "%s/social_login/%s/complete" % (self.request.host_url, provider_name)
authentication = linkedin.LinkedInAuthentication(
self.app.config.get('linkedin_api'),
self.app.config.get('linkedin_secret'),
callback_url,
[linkedin.PERMISSIONS.BASIC_PROFILE, linkedin.PERMISSIONS.EMAIL_ADDRESS])
authentication.authorization_code = self.request.get('code')
access_token = authentication.get_access_token()
link = linkedin.LinkedInApplication(authentication)
u_data = link.get_profile(selectors=['id', 'first-name', 'last-name', 'email-address'])
user_data = {
'first_name': u_data.get('firstName'),
'last_name': u_data.get('lastName'),
'id': u_data.get('id'),
'email': u_data.get('emailAddress')}
self.session['linkedin'] = json.dumps(user_data)
