Before proceeding, you will first need to register your application with LinkedIn. Please refer the developer documentation provided by LinkedIn here: [https://www.linkedin.com/developers/apps/](https://www.linkedin.com/developers/apps/)



Please note: You will need to create an account with LinkedIn to access this.

**Important LinkedIn Developer Update**

LinkedIn has updated their primary Product: **Sign in with LinkedIn** to **Sign In with LinkedIn using OpenID Connect** 

All existing developer app before this change will continue to access the older Sign in with LinkedIn product, however, any new developer apps will now see the option with OpenID Connect (V2). Pathfix supports both these scopes, please follow the documentation depending on the type of app access you have.

'Advertising API', the product required for posting to company pages, goes through an approval cycle with the LinkedIn team.

The most common Product (scope) on LinkedIn are 'Share on LinkedIn' and 'Sign In with LinkedIn' for V1 or 'Sign In with LinkedIn using OpenID Connect' for V2. There is an approval/review process that the app will also go through, however, this approval is required by the owner of the page.
