Dear LinkedIn Developers,

What's happening?

As of September 15, 2019, we will no longer be supporting GET requests to retrieve OAuth access tokens. OAuth access tokens should be retrieved by making a POST request to https://www.linkedin.com/oauth/v2/accessToken. If your apps rely on making GET requests to retrieve access tokens, they must now use a POST request in their OAuth flow.

What you'll need to do:
Determine if your app is making a GET request to retrieve access tokens by inspecting your code for any instances of GET https://www.linkedin.com/oauth/v2/accessToken.
If it is making a GET request, update your access token request from a GET request to a POST request
(note: If your call to request an access token is a POST request, you do not need to take any action).
Confirm all parameters identified in requesting an access token are included as Content-Type x-www-form-urlencoded.
Timeframe:

You will need to complete the migration steps above by September 15, in order to prevent any interruption of your access.

Please Note: Requests to obtain an access token while using GET requests after this date will fail to successfully query LinkedIn APIs.

If you need additional support while migrating access token requests, or have general questions regarding these updates you can open a support ticket here.

Thank you,
LinkedIn Developers Program Team
