Common Patterns

通用模式

ID Resolution

ID解析

User URN from profile:
1. Call LINKEDIN_GET_MY_INFO
2. Extract user URN (e.g., 'urn:li:person:XXXXXXXXXX')
3. Use URN as actor/owner in subsequent calls
Organization ID from company:
1. Call LINKEDIN_GET_COMPANY_INFO with organization_id
2. Extract organization URN for posting as a company page
从个人资料获取用户URN：
1. 调用LINKEDIN_GET_MY_INFO
2. 提取用户URN（例如：'urn:li:person:XXXXXXXXXX'）
3. 在后续调用中使用该URN作为actor/owner参数
从公司获取组织ID：
1. 使用organization_id调用LINKEDIN_GET_COMPANY_INFO
2. 提取组织URN以代表公司页面发布内容

Image Upload Flow

图片上传流程

  • Call REGISTER_IMAGE_UPLOAD to get upload URL and asset URN
  • Upload the binary image to the provided URL
  • Use the asset URN when creating a post with media
  • Verify with GET_IMAGES if upload status is uncertain
  • 调用REGISTER_IMAGE_UPLOAD获取上传URL和资源URN
  • 将图片二进制文件上传至提供的URL
  • 创建带媒体的帖子时使用资源URN
  • 如果对上传状态不确定，使用GET_IMAGES验证

Known Pitfalls

已知注意事项

Authentication:
  • LinkedIn OAuth tokens have limited scopes; ensure required permissions are granted
  • Tokens expire; re-authenticate if API calls return 401 errors
URN Formats:
  • LinkedIn uses URN identifiers (e.g., 'urn:li:person:ABC123')
  • Always use the full URN format, not just the alphanumeric ID portion
  • Organization URNs differ from person URNs
Rate Limits:
  • LinkedIn API has strict daily rate limits on post creation and comments
  • Implement backoff strategies for bulk operations
  • Monitor 429 responses and respect Retry-After headers
Content Restrictions:
  • Posts have character limits enforced by the API
  • Some content types (polls, documents) may require additional API features
  • HTML markup in post text is not supported
认证：
  • LinkedIn OAuth令牌的权限范围有限；确保已授予所需权限
  • 令牌会过期；如果API调用返回401错误，请重新认证
URN格式：
  • LinkedIn使用URN标识符（例如：'urn:li:person:ABC123'）
  • 请始终使用完整的URN格式，而非仅使用字母数字ID部分
  • 组织URN与个人URN格式不同
速率限制：
  • LinkedIn API对帖子创建和评论有严格的每日速率限制
  • 批量操作时请实现退避策略
  • 监控429响应并遵守Retry-After头部信息
内容限制：
  • 帖子受API的字符数限制
  • 某些内容类型（投票、文档）可能需要额外的API功能支持
  • 帖子文本不支持HTML标记
