Intent

Headless LinkedIn helpers for identity, API requests, and guarded personal-profile posting via the saved linkedin OAuth integration.

When To Use

Verify the LinkedIn OAuth integration and read the member profile or person URN
Call uncommon LinkedIn REST endpoints with saved token auth
Dry-run or publish personal-profile text, article, image, or video posts with explicit confirmation
Run the native video upload flow: register, upload parts, finalize, then post

Required setup

Saved linkedin OAuth integration (linkedinAccessToken, linkedinClientSecret)
w_member_social scope for posting helpers; reconnect at /connect/oauth?provider=linkedin when the token expires

Auth / transport

There is no usable public LinkedIn OpenAPI for the full REST surface. This package uses a compact request helper that authenticates with createAuthenticatedFetch('linkedin') and injects LinkedIn protocol headers (LinkedIn-Version, X-Restli-Protocol-Version) for Rest.li endpoints.
