Hi,
I’m trying to create a LinkedIn post directly from my APP. I have successfully setup sign/up api as you can see below. But now I’m trying to initialize a post call and get the errors below. I believe the issue might be with the parameter “author”, which i’m not sure how to set it up (I have copied the one in the API documentation). Can anyone shed some light on what I’m doing wrong?
So, you are taking user access and then trying to add post into his account ?
I believe your questions is a part of this thread. Let me know
Hi Cedric, Hi all,
Have you been able to solve this ? I am trying to set up this call but I can’t initialize the call getting each time the following message:
The test post used to initialize the call is actually created on LinkedIn but I get an error message and the call remains not initialized.
Any help would be greatly appreciated !
Change data type top.right to empty

The issue was my Linkedin Id. I made a GET request to obtain my id (sub parameter), which enabled me to properly setup the author field in my POST call. After that, I was able to initialize the POST call
@cedrikpendji how did you get the author id? what API call did you use?
