I'm encountering an issue with LinkedIn's API; I'm using OAuth 2.0 authentication, and have specified the 'profile' permission in the request. However, I'm seeing the error {"serviceErrorCode":100, "message":"Not enough permissions to access: GET /userinfo"}. I've double-checked that the permission is correctly specified in the request and consent screen, and that 'profile' permission is enabled in my app's developer dashboard. Despite reading the documentation, I'm still unable to solve this issue. Can anyone provide me with insights or suggestions? Thank you for your assistance.
Hello @Oleg , in order to be able to access https://api.linkedin.com/v2/userinfo you need to ensure you also include the openid scope with your access token request.

Hi
it didn't work, I tried so many solutions but got the same response every time. I see many users have similar issues and nobody has gone through any breakthrough. I see the documentation is also not clear for this. Any help would really be appreciated!

I don't know if this will help you now.
Please pass openid as well in scope
scope=profile email openid

You MUST pass all three 'profile email openid' as scope.

I need help creating a new LinkedIn post using API. Could you please assist me with this?
For more details kindly see below.
Looking forward!
Thanks!
Hey, I'm facing the same issue with '/me' endpoint that provides that PROFILE URN.
When I hit the endpoint:
https://api.linkedin.com/v2/me
It showed this error:
{'serviceErrorCode': 100, 'message': 'Not enough permissions to access: GET /me', 'status': 403}
I have both products enabled, the 'Sign In with LinkedIn using OpenID Connect' and 'Share on LinkedIn'.
I want to create a new text post on behalf of the user. However, after extensive exploration, I have discovered that I require a User Profile URN to initiate this action. Despite several hours of effort, I have been unable to locate a reliable resource to obtain this information.
If there is an alternative method or resource available to facilitate the creation of a new text post, I would greatly appreciate your guidance. Your assistance in this matter would be invaluable to me.
Thank you for your consideration.
same here. both apps assigned. /userinfo is working fine but /me claims the same permissions error.
I found out the /me is no (longer) needed for my purpose. You can obtain the ID from /userinfo, it's actually the "sub" attribute there. Many outdated community documents still outline to retrieve the ID from /userinfo but this no longer applies.
