LinkedIn API for retrieving apps data through postman to create a connection with Qlik Sense

hey !

It's been a while since i've been trying to figure this out but i am unable to do so. Everywhere i find videos for Sign In and Share on but none for the real time data such as followers and other details.

hi @Brownie

Based on the following documentation:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/linkedin/marketing/integrations/community-management/organizations/organization-lookup-api?view=li-lms-2023-02&tabs=curl#retrieve-organization-follower-count

REST Connector should be the way to go, they have an example in curl that shows the parameters to pass from where you can get those if you want to test in Postman first.

There is more documentation available here:

https://help.qlik.com/en-US/connectors/Subsystems/REST_connector_help/Content/Connectors_REST/Create-REST-connection/Connection-examples.htm

Hope it helps!

@Brownie,

The link that @NadiaB provided to Microsoft documentation will allow you to use the LinkedIn Community Management API to pull data about an Organization identity on that platform using a REST connection. The bottom of that page lists the requirements for applying to have access to that API.

It is my personal understanding that LinkedIn does not provide external access to data like that about individual accounts/users, including your own, via API.

All of LinkedIn's public API products are listed on this page.

Is there any chance you could show me an example through screenshots or
short demo video or something like that?
