HTTPConnector-LinkedIn - Access to people search denied

CloverDX Platform
1

Hi,

With HTTPConnector I am able to extract profile data from Profile API where as If I use other API like people search, Company Search & Job Search it is throwing SEARCH DENIED with OAUTH1.

I am able to do the same with PYTHON scripting. Please let me know the limitations of it or I am missing any parameter.

Hi krsna007,

I guess you followed http://www.cloveretl.com/blog/cloveretl-and-linkedin/ , right? Did you add necessary scope permissions when generating application on LinkedIn? See http://developer.linkedin.com/documents … n#granting for details. For example for reading your contacts will be necessary r_contactinfo permission.

I hope this helps.

Hi, Thanks for your reply. As I told you with my Linked in Credentials I extract all related through PYTHON SCRIPT.

With CLOVER I can extract only PROFILE API information. PEOPLE SEARCH and JOB SEARCH is not giving me any data. Is there any limitation with Clover.

Below all are selected.

w_messages rw_company_admin r_emailaddress
r_network rw_nus r_basicprofile
rw_groups r_fullprofile r_contactinfo

https://api.linkedin.com/v1/people-sear … name=vipul

Please let me know whether People-search, Job-Search are possible or not?

Any update on this.

I’ve taken premium member credentials for Linkedin. Still getting same out put.

Hi krsna,

According to the following information, People search and Jobs search APIs are not publicly available. You have to be a memer of their vetted program.

You can apply for this membership here https://help.linkedin.com/app/ask/path/api-dvr

I hope this helps.

Thanks for your reply.

I am able to extract data through People search, Job Search using PYTHON Script.

Do I still need to be a member of Vetted Program to extract data through CLOVE ETL?

Can you please share the script here? I would like to see what is different between your Python solution and your CloverETL solution.

Thanks.
