If I have a LinkedIn organization id, like 123456 can I get the company name or logo?
I can see that it could be done in the previous API: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/linkedin/marketing/integrations/community-management/organizations/organization-lookup-api
GET https://api.linkedin.com/rest/organizations/{organization ID}
But it is through the 2-legged OAuth flow.
I tried to create a ticket on zendesk, but I got the following response:
Please note most of our API calls run through 3-legged authorization. We are not assigning 2-legged auth for any of our partners and is not available for any marketing use cases.
Is there an another way to have access to 2-legged auth token? When I try to create a token for my app on this page: https://www.linkedin.com/developers/tools/oauth/token-generator the option for 2-legged is greyed out.
Is it impossible now, to find a linkedin company based on the id? I know that https://www.linkedin.com/company/123456 will redirect to the company page, but I would like an automated solution.
I'm not sure what you mean by 'only 2-legged', but as the customer support told you, almost every endpoint that is available as of now, supports 3-legger OAuth2 flows.
That said if you want to retrieve an organization's basic data - which by the way do include profile picture and name - you need to use the organizationsLookup endpoint, passing your Bearer access token (3-legged, of course) in the authorization field of your GET request.
The request should be formatted like this: https://api.linkedin.com/rest/organizationsLookup?ids=94808959.
In case you need to pass more than one id, you can do it by using the List(id1,id2,...) parameter (.../organizationsLookup?ids=List(id1,id2))
Here's a sample response:

Last thing: you'll need to specify an API version in the header. For the example above I used the Linkedin-Version: 202209.
