My task is to share a post to linked in from a page. I have gone through linked in documentation, but I couldn't understand what to do. I have googled for days and I didn't get a clear idea.
Can anyone clearly explain about how to share to linkedin. I dont want to share a whole page but only a particular post.
Here is the code I got from the net, but I have no idea what is happening in this code.
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="//platform.linkedin.com/in.js">
api_key: xxxxxxxxx
authorize: true
onLoad: onLinkedInLoad
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
// Setup an event listener to make an API call once auth is complete
function onLinkedInLoad() {
IN.Event.on(IN, "auth", shareContent);
}
// Handle the successful return from the API call
function onSuccess(data) {
console.log(data);
}
// Handle an error response from the API call
function onError(error) {
console.log(error);
}
// Use the API call wrapper to share content on LinkedIn
function shareContent() {
// Build the JSON payload containing the content to be shared
var payload = {
Content-Type: application/json
x-li-format: json
"comment": "Check out developer.linkedin.com!",
"content": {
"title": "LinkedIn Developers Resources",
"description": "Leverage LinkedIn's APIs to maximize engagement",
"submitted-url": "https://developer.linkedin.com",
"submitted-image-url": "https://example.com/logo.png"
},
"visibility": {
"code": "anyone"
}
};
IN.API.Raw("/people/~/shares?format=json")
.method("POST")
.body(JSON.stringify(payload))
.result(onSuccess)
.error(onError);
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<script src="//platform.linkedin.com/in.js" type="text/javascript"> lang: en_US</script>
<script type="IN/Share"></script>
</body>
</html>
Do I need any other files along with the codes?
I am working in codeigniter.
Please help.
Thanks in advance.

What should you do? Well, don't bother using the Share button. It's far better to click the Like button and to leave a substantial comment. This signals to the LinkedIn algorithm that there's something interesting to see, and the post stands a better chance of being shown to others.
I read your javascript code, it's doing what you want actually but i think you should do this thing in php or nodejs like backend languages.
To do this thing and also more you need to use Linked in's REST API.
All REST API's have same architecture, first you need to authenticate your account, after then send requests and get responses (with same session) and do what you want.
Edit: I've found exactly what you want in here
