Thanks for the link, LinkedIn kind of shoot themselves in the foot. I’ve recently been retreading this path again as I’m looking to build a tool for FRESH and reached out to them again.

I finally got a link to their developer portal ( https://linkedin.zendesk.com/hc/en-us ) where I was then able to put a formal request for access in.

Apparently the only applications that can write to profiles are app to meet FINRA compliance with SEC regulations specific to the financial sector (i.e.- it exists solely for monitoring and auditing activity where such monitoring/auditing is legally required by the SEC).

That being the case it’s no wonder people look to use automation technologies to provide much needed value to the end user.
