invalid redirect_uri

[alceal]

I have tried authenticating with OAuth 2.0 according to the instructions but I always get this error. Could anyone help me?

[DEKHTIARJonathan]

Can you please send your code and the error message? I can't help like this

I created a linkedin application and got the keys:

This is my script:

APPLICATON_KEY    = '77m******************'
APPLICATON_SECRET = '5ok******************'

RETURN_URL = 'http://localhost:8080'

authentication = linkedin.LinkedInAuthentication(APPLICATON_KEY,
                                                 APPLICATON_SECRET,
                                                 RETURN_URL,
                                                 linkedin.PERMISSIONS.enums.values())
print(authentication.authorization_url)

Then I followed the instructions:

1. Run http_api.py
2. Visit http://localhost:8080
3. Visit authentication.authorization_url and I get this error:

Okay, for what I can see right here, at least two things mismatches:

• Your callback URL is the following on the LinkedIn Dev Panel = http://localhost:8080/code
• Your callback URL in the application in the application = http://localhost:8080

You need to have exactly the same things on both sides

By the way, your permission are wrong ... You can not requests all of the possible ones (like in the demo).

For recall the followings are available via the PERMISSIONS enum, you need to match the settings and the one declared in the LinkedIn Dev Console ;)

PERMISSIONS = enum('Permission',
                   # Default Permissions
                   BASIC_PROFILE='r_basicprofile',
                   EMAIL_ADDRESS='r_emailaddress',
                   SHARE='w_share',

                   # Company Permissions
                   COMPANY_ADMIN='rw_company_admin',

                   # Permissions you need to apply to : https://help.linkedin.com/app/ask/path/api-dvr
                   FULL_PROFILE='r_fullprofile',
                   CONTACT_INFO='r_contactinfo'
 )

I've changed:

My callback URL on the LinkedIn Dev Panel = http://localhost:8080 My callback URL in the application = http://localhost:8080 My code:

from linkedin import linkedin
APPLICATON_KEY    = '77m******************'
APPLICATON_SECRET = '5ok******************'

RETURN_URL = 'http://localhost:8080'

authentication = linkedin.LinkedInAuthentication(APPLICATION_KEY,
                                                 APPLICATION_SECRET,
                                                 RETURN_URL,
                                                 permissions='r_basicprofile')

print(authentication.authorization_url)

But I got this new error:

http://localhost:8080/?error=invalid_scope&error_description=Your+application+has+not+been+authorized+for+the+scope+%22r_fullprofile%22#!

Solved:

authentication = linkedin.LinkedInAuthentication(APPLICATION_KEY,
                                                 APPLICATION_SECRET,
                                                 RETURN_URL,
                                                 permissions=['r_basicprofile'])

Permissions must be in a list.

The auth code is with &state=?

#############################################&state=########################

I've tried both options: w/ and w/o &state= but I got the same error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

My code:

from linkedin import linkedin
APPLICATON_KEY    = '77m******************'
APPLICATON_SECRET = '5ok******************'

RETURN_URL = 'http://localhost:8080'

authentication = linkedin.LinkedInAuthentication(APPLICATION_KEY,
                                                 APPLICATION_SECRET,

                                                 permissions=['r_basicprofile'])

authentication.authorization_code = '********************************************'
result = authentication.get_access_token()

print ("Access Token:", result.access_token)
print ("Expires in (seconds):", result.expires_in)

Everything is explained here: https://github.com/DEKHTIARJonathan/python3-linkedin#production-authentication

Please mark the issue as solved if everything is working ;)

[alceal]

Sorry but it's not clear -> https://github.com/DEKHTIARJonathan/python3-linkedin#production-authentication

[jayzeng]

sounds like the doc needs some clarification, @alceal you should send in a pr to update the doc

[alceal]

@jayzeng yeah, someone should get the same result if he follows the doc but this is not the case.

[DEKHTIARJonathan]

It would be a great pleasure for me to merge any PR regarding the documentation ;) Feel free to fork and help @jayzeng or @alceal

Can I close this issue ?

[alceal]

The invalid redirect_uri issue is solved but I'm still having problems with auth code. I'll try it again later.

[alceal]

@DEKHTIARJonathan everything is working.
