Linkedin API Python

Question

I'm trying to log-in to Linkedin. I created the App and extract the client_key and client_secret. Also I added http://localhost:8080/ as Redirect URLs. I have this error:

linkedin.exceptions.LinkedInError: 410 Client Error: Gone for url: https://api.linkedin.com/v1/people/~: This resource is no longer available under v1 APIs

# pip install python-linkedin
from linkedin import linkedin
import oauth2 as oauth
import urllib

consumer_key = ''
consumer_secret = ''

consumer = oauth.Consumer(consumer_key, consumer_secret)
client = oauth.Client(consumer)

request_token_url = 'https://api.linkedin.com/uas/oauth/requestToken'
resp, content = client.request(request_token_url, "POST")
if resp['status'] != '200':
    raise Exception('Invalid response %s.' % resp['status'])
content_utf8 = str(content, 'utf-8')
request_token = dict(urllib.parse.parse_qsl(content_utf8))
authorize_url = request_token['xoauth_request_auth_url']

print('Go to the following link in your browser:', "\n")
print(authorize_url + '?oauth_token=' + request_token['oauth_token'])

accepted = 'n'
while accepted.lower() == 'n':
    accepted = input('Have you authorized me? (y/n)')
oauth_verifier = input('What is the PIN?')

access_token_url = 'https://api.linkedin.com/uas/oauth/accessToken'
token = oauth.Token(request_token['oauth_token'], request_token['oauth_token_secret'])
token.set_verifier(oauth_verifier)
client = oauth.Client(consumer, token)
resp, content = client.request(access_token_url, 'POST')
content8 = str(content, 'utf-8')
access_token = dict(urllib.parse.parse_qsl(content8))
USER_TOKEN = access_token['oauth_token']
USER_SECRET = access_token['oauth_token_secret']
RETURN_URL = 'http://localhost:8080'

authentication = linkedin.LinkedInDeveloperAuthentication(
    consumer_key,
    consumer_secret,
    USER_TOKEN,
    USER_SECRET,
    RETURN_URL,
    linkedin.PERMISSIONS.enums.values()
)
application = linkedin.LinkedInApplication(authentication)
application.get_profile()

right and the API response is 410 which means that this specific resource is no longer available. So basically the address is not there, don't blame yourself on your code. developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Status/410 — William Bright

The v1 APIs are no longer supported.
Applications requesting Version 1.0 APIs may experience issues as they are removing services. Hence, it is highly recommended to change it from v1 to v2.
Link : https://engineering.linkedin.com/blog/2018/12/developer-program-updates
Try updating your code with the new set of APIs (currently v2), and it will work perfectly as you're expecting.

Hope it helps!

Change request_token_url to https://www.linkedin.com/oauth/v2/accessToken, and then let me know what reponse you obtain.

You'll have to make a few changes in your code as mentioned here : pypi.org/project/python-linkedin-v2
