I am working on that application allow user to connect to linkedin (using javascript). I want to store access token that I got from IN.ENV.auth.oauth_token because I will use it to post to user's timeline.
But when I use this access token to post to Linkedin, I got "Invalid access token" error.
Did I use correct access token? How's the correct way to get Access token?
Here's my code:
$("#linkedin-connect").on('click',function(e){
e.preventDefault();
IN.UI.Authorize().place();
IN.Event.on(IN, "auth", OnLinkedInAuth);
return false;
});
function OnLinkedInAuth() {
console.debug("oauth token:" + IN.ENV.auth.oauth_token);
}
JSFiddle Example
this event IN.Event.on(IN, "auth", OnLinkedInAuth);
should pass some data to your function OnLikedInAuth
as in shown in the documentation of the sdk.
<script type="text/javascript" src="//platform.linkedin.com/in.js">
api_key: YOUR_API_KEY_HERE
authorize: true
onLoad: onLinkedInLoad
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
// Setup an event listener to make an API call once auth is complete
function onLinkedInLoad() {
IN.Event.on(IN, "auth", getProfileData);
}
// Handle the successful return from the API call
function onSuccess(data) {
console.log(data);
}
// Handle an error response from the API call
function onError(error) {
console.log(error);
}
// Use the API call wrapper to request the member's basic profile data
function getProfileData() {
IN.API.Raw("/people/~").result(onSuccess).error(onError);
}
As that example (available in docs) the getProfileData
(similar to your OnLinkedInAuth
) returns a Promise and when it's resolved will give you some data
that you need to read. In that object you will find the token that you can store (LocalStorage) and use
