LinkedIn Company API Suite

Synopsis

The LinkedIn Company API Suite is intended to be a addon suite of modules to the LinkedIn Integration module, and is intended to ecapsulate the functionality contained within the LinkedIn Company API.

It currently contains two modules

LinkedIn Company
This module creates the functionality to authenticate as an organization with LinkedIn. Unlike the LinkedIn module which forces users to authenticate at the individual profile level, this module adds button that allows an admin with access to the company profile to authenticate and generate an OAuth token specific to the company that works sitewide.

LinkedIn Company Shares
This module pulls in the recent LinkedIn company shares and puts them into a themeable block. You can adjust the number of shares to show.

We intend to add additional modules in the future to support the other company API integrations such as jobs and product postings.

Requirements

This module depends upon the LinkedIn Integration module.

Known problems

The LinkedIn API requires that you re-authenticate your OAuth token every 60 days. To account for this, the module will send a reminder email with a link to re-authenticate. It's usually a one click process, unless the user isn't logged into LinkedIn in which case they will have to sign in again.

You have to authenticate with LinkedIn with the same account which is used to create that company page or from which you are admin on that page.Otherwise, feed information will not display.
