Installation, authorization

This page covers the installation and authorization process for Linked API SDKs.

Installation

To install the SDK, run following command for your package manager:

npm install -S @linkedapi/node

Authorization

To authorize your requests, you need to initialize the SDK with 2 tokens:

const linkedApi = new LinkedApi({
  linkedApiToken: "your-linked-api-token",
  identificationToken: "your-identifiaction-token",
});

• linkedApiToken – your main token that enables overall Linked API access.
• identificationToken – unique token specific to each managed LinkedIn account.

You can obtain these tokens through our platform, as demonstrated below:

Admin API

To manage your subscription, accounts, and limits programmatically, use the separate LinkedApiAdmin class. It requires only the linkedApiToken:

import { LinkedApiAdmin } from '@linkedapi/node';

const admin = new LinkedApiAdmin({
  linkedApiToken: 'your-linked-api-token',
});

const status = await admin.subscription.getStatus();
const { accounts } = await admin.accounts.getAll();

See the Admin overview for details.

Multiple LinkedIn accounts

If you need to manage multiple LinkedIn accounts, simply initialize a separate SDK instance for each account's identification token.

const firstLinkedInAccount = new LinkedApi({
  linkedApiToken: "your-linked-api-token",
  identificationToken: "your-first-identifiaction-token",
});

const secondLinkedInAccount = new LinkedApi({
  linkedApiToken: "your-linked-api-token",
  identificationToken: "your-second-identifiaction-token",
})
