# LinkedIn Pages
|
|
|
|
## Sync overview
|
|
|
|
The LinkedIn Pages source only supports Full Refresh for now. Incremental Sync will be coming soon.
|
|
|
|
Airbyte uses [LinkedIn Marketing Developer Platform - API](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/linkedin/marketing/integrations/marketing-integrations-overview) to fetch data from LinkedIn Pages.
|
|
|
|
### Output schema
|
|
|
|
This Source is capable of syncing the following data as streams:
|
|
|
|
* [Organization Lookup](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/linkedin/marketing/integrations/community-management/organizations/organization-lookup-api?tabs=http#retrieve-organizations)
|
|
* [Follower Statistics](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/linkedin/marketing/integrations/community-management/organizations/follower-statistics?tabs=http#retrieve-lifetime-follower-statistics)
|
|
* [Page Statistics](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/linkedin/marketing/integrations/community-management/organizations/page-statistics?tabs=http#retrieve-lifetime-organization-page-statistics)
|
|
* [Share Statistics](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/linkedin/marketing/integrations/community-management/organizations/share-statistics?tabs=http#retrieve-lifetime-share-statistics)
|
|
* [Shares (Latest 50)](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/linkedin/marketing/integrations/community-management/shares/share-api?tabs=http#find-shares-by-owner)
|
|
* [Total Follower Count](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/linkedin/marketing/integrations/community-management/organizations/organization-lookup-api?tabs=http#retrieve-organization-follower-count)
|
|
* [UGC Posts](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/linkedin/marketing/integrations/community-management/shares/ugc-post-api?tabs=http#find-ugc-posts-by-authors)
|
|
|
|
### NOTE:
|
|
|
|
All streams only sync all-time statistics at this time. A `start_date` field will be added soon to pull data starting at a single point in time.
|
|
|
|

### Performance considerations
|
|
|
|
There are official Rate Limits for LinkedIn Pages API Usage, [more information here](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/linkedin/shared/api-guide/concepts/rate-limits?context=linkedin/marketing/context). Rate limited requests will receive a 429 response. Rate limits specify the maximum number of API calls that can be made in a 24 hour period. These limits reset at midnight UTC every day. In rare cases, LinkedIn may also return a 429 response as part of infrastructure protection. API service will return to normal automatically. In such cases you will receive the next error message:
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
"Caught retryable error '<some_error> or null' after <some_number> tries. Waiting <some_number> seconds then retrying..."
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This is expected when the connector hits the 429 - Rate Limit Exceeded HTTP Error. If the maximum of available API requests capacity is reached, you will have the following message:
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
"Max try rate limit exceded..."
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
After 5 unsuccessful attempts - the connector will stop the sync operation. In such cases check your Rate Limits [on this page](https://www.linkedin.com/developers/apps) > Choose your app > Analytics.
|
|
|
|
## Getting started
|
|
The API user account should be assigned the following permissions for the API endpoints:
|
|
Endpoints such as: `Organization Lookup API`, `Follower Statistics`, `Page Statistics`, `Share Statistics`, `Shares`, `UGC Posts` require these permissions:
|
|
* `r_organization_social`: Retrieve your organization's posts, comments, reactions, and other engagement data.
|
|
* `rw_organization_admin`: Manage your organization's pages and retrieve reporting data.
|
|
|
|
The API user account should be assigned the `ADMIN` role.
|
|
|
|
### Authentication
|
|
There are 2 authentication methods: Access Token or OAuth2.0.
|
|
OAuth2.0 is recommended since it will continue streaming data for 12 months instead of 2 months with an access token.
|
|
|
|
##### Create the `Refresh_Token` or `Access_Token`:
|
|
The source LinkedIn Pages can use either the `client_id`, `client_secret` and `refresh_token` for OAuth2.0 authentication or simply use an `access_token` in the UI connector's settings to make API requests. Access tokens expire after `2 months from creation date (60 days)` and require a user to manually authenticate again. Refresh tokens expire after `12 months from creation date (365 days)`. If you receive a `401 invalid token response`, the error logs will state that your token has expired and to re-authenticate your connection to generate a new token. This is described more [here](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/linkedin/shared/authentication/authorization-code-flow?context=linkedin/context).
|
|
|
|
1. **Log in to LinkedIn as the API user**
|
|
|
|
2. **Create an App** [here](https://www.linkedin.com/developers/apps):
|
|
* `App Name`: airbyte-source
|
|
* `Company`: search and find your LinkedIn Company Page
|
|
* `Privacy policy URL`: link to company privacy policy
|
|
* `Business email`: developer/admin email address
|
|
* `App logo`: Airbyte's \(or Company's\) logo
|
|
* Review/agree to legal terms and create app
|
|
* Review the **Auth** tab:
|
|
* **Save your `client_id` and `client_secret`** \(for later steps\)
|
|
* Oauth 2.0 settings: Provide a `redirect_uri` \(for later steps\): `https://airbyte.com`
|
|
|
|
3. **Verify App**:
|
|
* In the **Settings** tab of your app dashboard, you'll see a **Verify** button. Click that button!
|
|
* Generate and provide the verify URL to your Company's LinkedIn Admin to verify the app.
|
|
|
|
4. **Request API Access**:
|
|
* Navigate to the **Products** tab
|
|
* Select the [Marketing Developer Platform](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/linkedin/marketing/) and agree to the legal terms
|
|
* After a few minutes, refresh the page to see a link to `View access form` in place of the **Select** button
|
|
* Fill out the access form and access should be granted **within 72 hours** (usually quicker)
|
|
|
|
5. **Create A Refresh Token** (or Access Token):
|
|
* Navigate to the LinkedIn Developers' [OAuth Token Tools](https://www.linkedin.com/developers/tools/oauth) and click **Create token**
|
|
* Select your newly created app and check the boxes for the following scopes:
|
|
* `r_organization_social`
|
|
* `rw_organization_admin`
|
|
* Click **Request access token** and once generated, **save your Refresh token**
|
|
|
|
6. **Use the `client_id`, `client_secret` and `refresh_token`** from Steps 2 and 5 to autorize the LinkedIn Pages connector within the Airbyte UI.
|
|
* As mentioned earlier, you can also simply use the Access token auth method for 60-day access.
