I'm attempting to establish a connection with LinkedIn. The objective is to perform straightforward API calls concerning an organization page that I administer on LinkedIn.

When I set up the connection, LinkedIn indicates that callin.io has requested the following permissions:

My module makes the following request:

(14. Result and 2. Result are both correct – millisecond unix timestamps)

This returns the following error:

The frustrating aspect here is that this functioned flawlessly on my free account. I then transferred it to my organization's Pro shared workspace, and my LinkedIn connection ceased to operate.

However, when I removed the connection from the old account and re-established it, it failed in a similar manner.

I have attempted to remove the connection on both ends and recreate it, without success.

Does anyone have any suggestions? Thank you!

Welcome to the callin.io community!

Try setting up the connection again. It appears you only granted the Name & Photo permission, but not access to other permissions.

Could you please explain how? callin.io does not offer the option of requesting any other permissions when creating a new LinkedIn connection.

Yeah I tried this as well and I was only asked to share name and Photo. I don’t see any other credentials being requested:

It appears that when I attempt to use another module, such as “List an Organization’s Posts,” the access permissions are requested to be extended at that point:

I'm still uncertain if that will be sufficient to gain access to the endpoint you're attempting to reach, but it's certainly worth a shot.

Solved!!! Thanks!

I must have done that a while ago on my old account before I started experimenting with ‘Make an API call’.

There is a Get Page Statistics module that I believe provides what you need without needing to make an API call:

However, I see there's no granularity or start/end time available, which explains why you're using the endpoint.

Yes, I require it to be restricted to a calendar month.
