How to test an application that uses LinkedIn API?


I'm in the process of integrating LinkedIn into my application, via their API. The problem is that I cannot test it.

In order to test it, I need a test user that is administrator of a company page. I cannot create a company page since my test user does not meet the minimum requirements.

How have other users of the API solved this problem?


Solution

    LinkedIn has a special test company that you can in your test cases for this exact purpose.
