I want to be able to get the first-degree connections of an authorized user and import them into my mobile app.

How do I get Linkedin to give me access to their restricted APIs??

I tried to use the Connections API, but I got an error saying:

"Not enough permissions to access: GET-viewer /connections"

I need to have these scopes added to my app:

  • r_1st_connections
  • r_compliance
linkedin-api linkedin oauth rest api

From Linkedin Developer Support: "Unfortunately we cannot grant access to the connections API, this endpoint is part of our compliance API, which is only granted to partners who are helping Regulated LinkedIn Members and Customers facilitate regulatory compliant usage of Social Media. (i.e.- it exists solely for monitoring and auditing activity where such monitoring/auditing is legally required by the SEC)." Hence, the permission error.".

Hope you have created a linkedin App, if not then create it from here https://developer.linkedin.com/

Then you need to apply for LinkedIn product "Marketing Developer Platform". It takes 4-5 working days to get approval from linkedin team.

Once you get access to this, it will allow you to use the auth scope

r_1st_connections_size
Use your 1st-degree connections' data
