linkedin: could not get profile id: could not find 'id' in result

[stefanlogue]

What happened?

Trying to use the LinkedIn announce feature, I've supplied my access token in my workflow and passed it to the Github Action. The releases all pass, then the announce fails with the error in the title. Am I doing something wrong, or is there any further setup that needs to be done on my side for this to work? The docs for this were pretty lacking

How can we reproduce this?

hmm, maybe linkedin changed their API 🤔

For what it's worth, I tried to hit the /v2/me endpoint using the same access token in Postman, and got an error that I didn't have the required permissions, even though I've got the scopes for signing in with OAuth and for sharing posts. The scopes I've got are:
openid, profile, w_member_social and email if that helps

It looks like that you need one of the following scopes to hit /v2/me

Permission | Description
r_liteprofile Required to retrieve name and photo for the authenticated user. Please review Lite Profile Fields.
r_basicprofile Required to retrieve name, photo, headline, and vanity name for the authenticated user. Please review Basic Profile Fields. Note that the v2 r_basicprofile permission grants only a subset of fields provided in v1.

@gabrielcipriano any idea how to get any of these permissions? The dashboard for adding permissions doesn't allow manually adding them (as far as I can see) and you need to do it through the process of adding "Products" to your app, which then add relevant scopes (although this is quite opaque, it doesn't say which scopes will be added for each Product).

It looks like they've made it more difficult to request scopes.

hey @stefanlogue, I found this discussion and @caarlos0 is right, they changed their api. They deprecated /v2/me in favor of v2/userinfo, so new applications will not have old permissions such as r_liteprofile.

v2/userinfo needs the new permission profile

I will open a PR with the needed changes.

[stefanlogue]

Thanks for this, all working as expected now!

Got another error with this recently:

linkedin: could not get profile URN: could not get profile sub: could not find 'sub' in result: %!w(<nil>)

Havent't changed anything since it was previously working

[caarlos0]

:pain:

did they change their api again?

PS: I fixed the issue in the error message (the nil error %w thing)

[stefanlogue]

Is there a way to have the action step still pass after the announce fails? I'd love to continue to test this out on my project but don't want the whole action to fail if this fails as it's not really overly important, the tool is still released on homebrew by this stage

[caarlos0]

currently it isn't, but maybe we could add a allow_failure or something like that to the config
