LinkedIn OAuth Scopes

OAuth 2.0 derived

LinkedIn publishes 7 OAuth 2.0 scopes via the authorizationCode and clientCredentials flows. Scopes are the fine-grained permissions an application requests at authorization time to act against the LinkedIn API on a user’s behalf.

Tokens are issued from https://www.linkedin.com/oauth/v2/accessToken.

This index is generated from the provider’s OpenAPI security definitions (and, where available, its documented scope reference) and refreshes on every APIs.io network build. Browse every provider’s scopes at scopes.apis.io.
