I'm trying to integrate LinkedIn v2 OAuth 2.0 login directly from the browser, but in order to Ovid Cross-Origin issues, I need to use JS SDK.
but I saw here: https://engineering.linkedin.com/blog/2018/12/developer-program-updates
that from the 1 of March js SDK will not work
SDKs: Our JavaScript and Mobile Software Development Kits (SDKs) will stop working. Developers will need to migrate to using OAuth 2.0 directly from their apps.
so how can I make login with LinkedIn if there is no SDK any more?? (and I can't use any non-free or non-commercial OAuth lib)
and also am trying to avoid using server side for that
This is the solution for the V1 API. I am not sure if this will be continued or not in V2 of the API.
You can create a URL with the parameters as follows, however there are some issues with the image
and summary
fields showing up as expected.
page
- URL of Pagetitle
- Page Contentsummary
- Summary of contentsource
- Name of SiteConstruct the URL as such: (interpolated string example)
https://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=${page}&title=${title}&summary=${summary}&source=${source}
It is recommended, if you control the html metatags to apply the following for a richer experience in sharing.
<meta property="og:title" content="My Shared Article Title" />
<meta property="og:description" content="Description of shared article" />
<meta property="og:url" content="http://example.com/my_article.html" />
<meta property="og:image" content="http://example.com/foo.jpg" />
Linked In - Share on LinkedIn V1 Docs
This example creates a new window with the share link.
let page = this.getPageUrl(true);
let title = this.getTagTitle(true);
let summary = this.getTagDescription(true);
let source = this.getTitle(true);
let tokenLink = `https://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=${page}&title=${title}&summary=${summary}&source=${source}`;
window.open(tokenLink);
