Julian here. I’m new to Bubble.io but loving what I’m experiencing so far.
I’d like to sign users up using LinkedIn via the API Connector, as I need their email addresses.
Although this topic has been covered previously, there have been recent changes to the LinkedIn OAuth system that I don’t think have been covered elsewhere, and I’m struggling to make a successful connection.
Next challenge… How to set up the API Calls and the specific GET requests to gain access to the LinkedIn personal data fields, including email address.
All/any help is appreciated
hi Julian. How did you solve it? I’m able to successfully sign up users from Linkedin but I can’t get the GET call to retrieve user info to work. Please have a look at my settings here. I can’t initialize the call and always get the error message attached
The first step is to initialize the auth. Look at the message in the auth section. Create a dummy page with action Login with social network in debug_mode to initialize the auth. After that, you will be able to initialize API call.
I tried that. As you can see in the screenshots below, I was able to authenticate. Although i receive a bubble message saying “this user already exist” as the email associated with my linkedin is already a user in my APP. But after all this, I still can’t initialize calls. Is there something I’m missing?
I am now struggling to initialize a post call. I believe the issue might be with the parameter “author”, i’m not sure how to set it up. @Jici@julian10 Can you please have a look at my settings below and tell me what i’m doing wrong? You can see below the error message
Thank @Jici . I’ll read the Posts API - LinkedIn documentation and update my settings accordingly.
For the id, which one should I use? If my LinkedIn url is https://www.linkedin.com/in/cedric-rivera/. So my ID would be “cedric-rivera”, correct? and the value of author should be urn:li:member:cedric-rivera?
Thank you very much @Jici .I was able to get my correct id after making the GET request. And after I was able to initialize the POST call.
Much Appreciated!
Its 2025 and l am grateful the LinkedIn API is now free.

Errors:
When I trigger the workflow in debug mode, I get the error :
“Sorry, we were unable to log you in with apiconnector2-bTJRS. Please try again.”
When I initialize in the API connector, I get the erros:
{“status”:401,“serviceErrorCode”:65600,“code”:“INVALID_ACCESS_TOKEN”,“message”:“Invalid access token”}
Removing the “projection” does not work either.
Removing the headers for “authorization” and “content-type” does not work either.
Is the login dialog redirect supposed to be the name of my app?: Nameofapp
Like you can read at the bottom of the auth part of user-agent flow, you need first to run the auth in debug_mode first to get an access token so you can initiialize others API calls
It’s working fine now
