I know some will put comment like this post is duplicate of so many questions, but I've tried many ways to achieve Access Token in linkedin Oauth. Explaining what i tried.
1) I'm following it's official doc's Linkedin Oauth2
2) I'm successfully getting Authorization code from step 2 and passing that code to step 3 for exchanging Auth code for getting Access Token. But i'm getting following error {"error_description":"missing required parameters, includes an invalid parameter value, parameter more than once. : Unable to retrieve access token : appId or redirect uri does not match authorization code or authorization code expired","error":"invalid_request"}
3) According to some links i need to set content-type in the header.Link which tells to set content-type is missing
4)Then i tried calling https://www.linkedin.com/uas/oauth2/accessToken
this service instead of POSt
to GET
. And passing data as queryParams.
5) Some link says oauth code expires in 20 sec, So i've checked, i'm making call for access token in less that 1 sec.
6) And if i pass data in Body params like as below and used url as https://www.linkedin.com/uas/oauth2/accessToken
var postData = {
grant_type: "authorization_code",
code: authCode,
redirect_uri: 'https%3A%2F%2Foauthtest-mydeployed-app-url',
client_id: 'my_client_id',
client_secret: 'secret_key'
};
7) With Get
call my url i tried
https://www.linkedin.com/uas/oauth2/accessToken?grant_type=authorization_code&code='+authCode+'&redirect_uri=https%3A%2F%2Foauthtest-mydeployed-app-url&client_id=my_client_id&client_secret=secret_key
Still i'm getting Error even though status code is 200, i'm getting that error(with GET
api)
and If POSt
by passing postData
in body i'm getting bad request 400
status code
Not understanding why m I not getting access code. I've read many solutions. Sharing code as requested.
sap.ui.define([
"sap/ui/core/mvc/Controller",
"sap/m/MessageToast"
], function (Controller, MessageToast) {
"use strict";
return Controller.extend("OauthTest.OauthTest.controller.View1", {
onPress: function (evt) {
var sPath =
'https://www.linkedin.com/uas/oauth2/authorization?response_type=code&client_id=my_client_id&redirect_uri=https%3A%2F%2Foauthtest-mydeployed-app-url&state=DCEeFWf45A53sdfKef424&scope=r_basicprofile';
window.location.href = sPath;
var oRouter = new sap.ui.core.UIComponent.getRouterFor(this);
oRouter.navTo("View2", {
"username": "Test"
});
MessageToast.show(evt.getSource().getId() + " Pressed");
},
//after user allows access, user will be redirected to this app with code and state in URL
//i'm fetching code from URL in below method(call is happening in max.569ms)
onAfterRendering: function () {
var currentUrl = window.location.href;
var url = new URL(currentUrl);
var authCode = url.searchParams.get("code");
if (authCode !== undefined && authCode !== null) {
var postData = {
grant_type: "authorization_code",
code: authCode,
redirect_uri: 'https%3A%2F%2Foauthtest-mydeployed-app-url',
client_id: 'my_client_id',
client_secret: 'secret_key'
};
/* var accessTokenUrl = 'https://www.linkedin.com/uas/oauth2/accessToken?grant_type=authorization_code&code=' + authCode +'&redirect_uri=https%3A%2F%2Foauthtest-mydeployed-app-url&client_id=my_client_id&client_secret=secret_key';*/
var accessTokenUrl = 'https://www.linkedin.com/uas/oauth2/accessToken';
$.ajax({
url: accessTokenUrl,
type: "POST",
beforeSend: function (xhr) {
xhr.setRequestHeader('Content-Type', 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded');
},
data: postData,
success: function (data, textStatus, jqXHR) {
console.log(data);
alert('success');
},
error: function (jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown) {
console.log(errorThrown);
alert('error');
}
});
}
}
});
});
Help will be appriciated..!!!
If the access token request is invalid, such as the redirect URL didn't match the one used during authorization, then the server needs to return an error response. Error responses are returned with an HTTP 400 status code (unless specified otherwise), with error and error_description parameters.
Finally I am happy to post my answer after so much search. Every step I did is correct only, but one thing I was missing here like, Linkedin API doesn't supports CORS.
I tried implementing Javascript SDK, that works like charm. But API wasn't. Then I found very helpful Link which says I need to implement Rest API from backend by allowing CORS, not from front end.
Make sure to follow all the points which I mentioned above in my post. And for Allow CORS follow this link. You will get data but only basic profile of user according to LinkedIn Terms data can be accessible
Hope this post may help someones time to search more
