How can I inject oauth2_access_token?

[rajeshmeniya]

I have oauth2 access token and want to use to share on linkedin, can you please tell me how to do this?

I have both OAuth User Token: "randomUserTokenGeneratedAtLinkedin" OAuth User Secret: "randomUserSecretGeneratedAtLinkedin"

which and how to use it??

[rajeshmeniya]

tried following

$x = $linkedIn->api('v1/people/~/shares', array('format'=>'xml', 'oauth2_access_token'=>'randomUserTokenGeneratedAtLinkedin'), 'POST', $xml);

print_r($x);

But, it returns below error " 401 1404824467258 PLA5D8UVDG 0 Invalid access token. "

The user access token is not the same as the OAuth tokens. The OAuth is to authenticate you application. The user access token is to authenticate your application with a user...

Look at the example in the Readme. It tells you how to authenticate a user. When a user is authenticate you may run $linkedIn->getAccessToken() to get a user access token. You may save that token in your application. At some later point you fetch that token from your storage and...

$token= //from database
$linkedIn->setAccessToken($token);
$linkedIn->api('v1/people/~/shares', array('format'=>'xml'), 'POST', $xml);

Ok, but how can I share from backend script (cron).

Is it possible using OAuthTokens generated at linkedin application setting.

You do exactly the same if you want to authenticate from a backend script. Just authenticate yourself and save your access token. Then run the code I provided you..

You may not use the OAuthTokens as access tokens. That is how the LinkedIn API is designed.
