There is a Similar Question

I tried the solution which was given in the answer.

I tried multiple scenarios, but I keep getting the below error:

URL1:

var companyid = '123456789';
var url = "https://api.linkedin.com/v2/ugcPosts?q=authors&authors=List("+ encodeURIComponent(companyid)+")";

Log of the url returns below url:

https://api.linkedin.com/v2/ugcPosts?q=authors&authors=List(urn%3Ali%3Aorganization%3A123456789)

URL2:

var companyid = '123456789';
var url = "https://api.linkedin.com/v2/ugcPosts?q=authors&authors=List("+(companyid)+")";

Log of the url returns below url:

https://api.linkedin.com/v2/ugcPosts?q=authors&authors=List(urn:li:organization:123456789)

Here are the permissions I have requested for authentication:

r_liteprofile
r_emailaddress
w_member_social
rw_organization_admin
rw_organization
r_organization_social
Solution

  • You should add the header information about the V2 protocol version ad described in the doc:

    All API requests are represented in protocol 2.0.0 and require the header X-Restli-Protocol-Version: 2.0.0.

    So if you made the API Call Like:

    curl  -H "X-Restli-Protocol-Version:2.0.0" "https://api.linkedin.com/v2/ugcPosts?q=authors&authors=List(urn%3Ali%3Aorganization%3A123456789)&oauth2_access_token=<access_token>"

    You will retrieve some data, like:

    {"elements":[],"paging":{"total":0,"count":10,"start":0,"links":[]}

    Hope this help
