LinkedIn New Developer Program API Changes - Will company share be available?

In this post from LinkedIn they mention the open APIs will still support sharing content with the Company API, but if you look further in their Developer Program Transition Guide they say the only endpoints available will be

  • Profile API — /v1/people/~
  • Share API — /v1/people/~/shares
  • Companies API — /v1/companies/{id}

Does that mean that /v1/companies/{id}/shares won't be available? I find this misleading and could not find an answer anywhere else. Anyone?

Solution

  • Good question -- I have the same confusion. My interpretation is that the /v1/companies/{id}/shares will still be available, because:

    1. The Transition FAQ says:

    Finally, if you still find you have questions about what will be possible after May 12th, please take a moment to check out our Apigee API console and browse the updated documentation on the Developer website.

    1. the Apigee API console still shows the /v1/companies/{id}/shares endpoint

    2. the updated documentation for company pages still shows the /v1/companies/{id}/shares create a company share endpoint
