linkedin api v2: "Not enough permissions to access" for /people

Question

My question is similar for Linkedin v2 api: Not enough permissions to access: GET /countriesV2, LinkedIn V2 api: Not enough permissions to access /me GET, Not enough permissions to access /me GET and others, but works with /v2/organizations/ endpoint (that's why I think the app is already applied for api: https://business.linkedin.com/marketing-solutions/marketing-partners/become-a-partner/marketing-developer-program).

That's not my app - my client's one.

My task is getting members' info, but any calls to /v2/people/ endpoint fall.

The r_basicprofile permission is set and I no need for extra profile fields.

Now I see a couple of problems with linkedin REST API:

• most of examples are for v1
• v1 doesn't work at all
• links to the linkedin site (like https://developer.linkedin.com/comment/NNNNN#comment-NNNNN%23comment-NNNNN) mostly don't work (about 95-99%)
• I can't even call samples from developer.linkedin.com

I asked about this on linkedin help forum. I don't understand is this api works or not?

Does anyone have a successful experience with /v2/people/ endpoint?

Answer 1

if you really want to use V2 apply to the partnership that is required. but because you need only basic profile info try this :

https://api.linkedin.com/v1/people/~:(id,first-name,last-name,headline,picture-url,email-address,public-profile-url)?format=json

this will return the information of the person who is loggedin. if you want information of another person try this:

 https://api.linkedin.com/v1/people/[user_id]:(id,first-name,last-name,headline,picture-url,email-address,public-profile-url)?format=json

hopefully this works for you.
