LinkedIn

LinkedIn uses OAuth 2.0 and has more approval friction than most other providers.

What you need

• LinkedIn developer app
• LINKEDIN_CLIENT_ID
• LINKEDIN_CLIENT_SECRET
• Callback URL: https://your-domain.com/api/v1/accounts/linkedin/callback

Relevant setting

LINKEDIN_DISABLE_THREAD_REPLIES=false

If your LinkedIn app cannot obtain the permissions required for comment-style replies, set LINKEDIN_DISABLE_THREAD_REPLIES=true.

Threading caveat

LinkedIn thread child posts are implemented as comments on the first post rather than native threaded posts.

Media caveat

OpenPost uses LinkedIn's Images API for images and Videos API for videos. Video upload initializes with fileSizeBytes, uploads all returned byte ranges, and finalizes the upload before creating the post.

Common issues

• Insufficient app approval for social actions
• Callback URL mismatch
• Reply permissions missing for thread child posts
