Describe the problem/error/question

A few days after posting to linkedin, i would like to check the post analytics. There seems to be no n8n block for that.
I could go to the post analytics page and scrape it, but linkedin requires you te be logged in for that. How can I do this?

Information on your n8n setup

  • n8n version: 1.7
  • Database (default: SQLite):
  • n8n EXECUTIONS_PROCESS setting (default: own,):
  • Running n8n via (Docker,):
  • Operating system: Ubuntu

It seems I need r_member_social
How can I force the n8n linkedin credential to ask for it?

https://www.linkedin.com/oauth/v2/authorization?
response_type=code&
client_id=YOUR_CLIENT_ID&
redirect_uri=YOUR_REDIRECT_URI&
scope=r_member_social w_member_social

Hi @Anton_Vanhoucke

for that scope you will need to use generic OAuth2 credentials (use via HTTP request node)

Hope this helps!

Thanks. That could have worked. Especially with the Generic OAuth2 creditial. However, it seems LinkedIn is giving r_member_social permissions to no one anymore, since 2019.
