Linkedin new version

[jramirezgranada]

Do you have an update for the new v2 linkedin version ?

Thanks

[Nyholm]

I’m not fully aware of v2. Could you tell me what is stopping you from using v2 with the current client?

We want to delete posts, here de documentation vor v2 https://developer.linkedin.com/docs/guide/v2/shares/share-update-and-delete-api#delete but we can't do it with v1,

[Nyholm]

I see. How come? As far as I know, there is nothing in the client that is stopping you from deleting posts.

I found it necessary to remove the line that adds ?format=json onto the URL to talk to the ads api. ( https://github.com/Happyr/LinkedIn-API-client/blob/master/src/LinkedIn.php#L161 )

Sorry to jump in off-topic here. I discovered their v2 but outside their documentation center there isn't much to find (in terms of questions, chatter, etc.). Do you know how "new" it is, i.e. when it was launched or something? Just curious.

[DavidGoodwin]

It's still pretty new (and their documentation is pretty naff in general).

From a hazy memory, I think we have to migrate from v1 to v2 sometime this year (August?).

There's https://developer.linkedin.com/docs/guide/v2

@DavidGoodwin did you ever find a permanently solution for this? We're in the same position

[DavidGoodwin]

permanent solution to what? this client not supporting v2? (we wrote a custom guzzle based client for talking to the v2 api ... so I'm not using this client).

[mfn]

Same here; simply using Guzzle and manually calling the endpoints.

[scottybo]

@mfn @DavidGoodwin would it be possible to share some code examples for others in the same situation? It would be hugely appreciated ☺️

[mfn]

There's not much to share, really. Just look at the API docs and fire up a guzzle request.

[scottybo]

@mfn @DavidGoodwin This is completely the wrong place to ask, but just wanted to pick your brains if that's ok? We're rolling out our own client (a forked version of this client) and the new urn structure seems very clunky. Do you know if there's a more elegant way than this to get a profile picture?

$user = $linkedIn->get('/v2/me?projection=(id,localizedFirstName,localizedLastName,vanityName,profilePicture(displayImage~:playableStreams))');
$profile_picture = $user['profilePicture']['displayImage~']['elements'][0]['identifiers'][0]['identifier'];

Having to delve so deep into an associative array to get the URL of a media file seems like madness.

[mfn]

@scottybo I don't fetch profile data but of companies and it looks similar but not as "complex":

$query = [
    'projection' => '(paging,elements*(*,organizationalTarget~(id,localizedName,logo(original))))',
    …
];
$result = $this->get(static::API_V2_URI . '/organizationalEntityAcls', $headers, $query);
…
foreach (…) {
  … = $result[$index]['organizationalTarget~']['logo']['original'];
}

🤷‍♀️

[scottybo]

Thanks - your projection route with stars answers some of the questions I had about that which aren't covered in the docs, so that's a big help!
