(400): 'submitted-url' and 'media-key' can not be both empty

[jbolles5]

I have recently started getting this error when using the add_company_share method. I am passing 'submitted-url' and 'submitted-image-url' into the content section, as indicated by the documentation here: https://developer.linkedin.com/docs/company-pages#company_share

For the life of me I can't find media-key anywhere in the documentation. What am I missing here? Any help would be appreciated.

Actual post code:

result = client.add_company_share(published_post.channel_account.channel_id, { comment: scheduled_post.post_text, content: { 'submitted-image-url' => scheduled_post.post_image.url,  'submitted-url' => scheduled_post.link  } })

Hrm... weird I haven't heard of media-key either.

Have you tried setting media-key to blank?

I just set media-key to blank and the post went through. Odd. Closing this issue, thanks for the help.

I just started encountering this problem in my app. I've set 'media-key' => '' in my options hash but I still get the error whenever I'm not submitting a submitted-url, even if I just set 'submitted-url' => '' in my hash. This is strange because LinkedIn doesn't require you to include a link when posting a share through their native UI.

As best I can tell, you must include Submitted URL, Image URL, and media key in order to post anything that is not just a plain text post.

So do I need to be submitting shares without a media-url as a comment?

[sagar2agrawal]

yes, that will work
