LinkedIn#
You can specify the scope and fields to fetch as follows:
SOCIALACCOUNT_PROVIDERS = {
'linkedin': {
'SCOPE': [
'r_basicprofile',
'r_emailaddress'
],
'PROFILE_FIELDS': [
'id',
'first-name',
'last-name',
'email-address',
'picture-url',
'public-profile-url',
]
}
}
By default, r_emailaddress
scope is required depending on whether or
not SOCIALACCOUNT_QUERY_EMAIL
is enabled.
Note: if you are experiencing issues where it seems as if the scope has no
effect you may be using an old LinkedIn app that is not scope enabled.
Please refer to
https://developer.linkedin.com/forum/when-will-old-apps-have-scope-parameter-enabled
for more background information.
Furthermore, we have experienced trouble upgrading from OAuth 1.0 to OAuth 2.0 using the same app. Attempting to do so resulted in a weird error message when fetching the access token:
missing required parameters, includes an invalid parameter value, parameter more then once. : Unable to retrieve access token : authorization code not found
If you are using tokens originating from the mobile SDK, you will need to specify additional headers:
SOCIALACCOUNT_PROVIDERS = {
'linkedin': {
'HEADERS': {
'x-li-src': 'msdk'
}
}
}

Leave the OAuth1 redirect URLs empty.
