Question

In v1.0, We can able to get public profile url using below api.

https://api.linkedin.com/v1/people/~:(id,public-profile-url,first-name,last-name,email-address)?format=json

but in v2.0, when i try to get r_basicprofile its gives me Erro 403 (You dont have get /me permission), However i can get id, first name, last name using r_liteprofile.

https://api.linkedin.com/v2/me

How can i get public-profile-url or vanityName?

Answer 1

Unfortunately, you can't get the vanityName easily in v2, unless you apply for partnership program (as what KPSingh suggested) but LinkedIn discourages you to apply the partnership if you only want to get the vanityName.

Please do not apply to a partner program like the Marketing Developer Platform if you are seeking access to member profile data that is not made available via the new “Lite Profile” permission. Access to partner programs is appropriate for select use cases only, and all other requests for access will be rejected.

Also, in v2 r_basicprofile was replaced with r_liteprofile permission.
