LinkedIn API Token Setup

You need to set up a company before get started.

1. Create a LinkedIn Developer App

Go to Create a LinkedIn App and fill in the required fields.
Upload a logo. If a privacy policy is needed, use this one.
In Settings, click Verify next to your company name and complete the verification.

2. Request API Access

In Products, find Community Management API and click Request Access.
Provide a reason (e.g., "Automate low-frequency posting on our company page").
Wait for manual approval.

3. Generate & Secure the Token

After approval, visit the Token Generator.
Select your app, choose the required scopes (w_organization_social, w_organization_social_feed), and generate the token.
Store the Access token securely in repo secrets.

Note: Tokens expire every 2 months

4. Get Your LinkedIn Company ID

Go to your LinkedIn Company Page.
Look at the URL: https://www.linkedin.com/company/{YOUR_COMPANY_ID}.
Copy the number after /company/—this is your Company ID.
Add this into the plugins file as the org_id.
