LinkedIn "grant_type" is missing #79

Detailed description

Hey all,

LinkedIn posting worked until recently, now I get the following error message. Was this me, Mixpost or a LinkedIn API change?

{ "error": "invalid_request", "error_description": "A required parameter \"grant_type\" is missing" }

The closes to that I found is this:

So I would recommend you to resync / relogin to your linkedIN again.

@uhlhosting thank you, that gave me a head start.

So "updating" / refreshing didn't work. And a quirk (maybe of Mixpost?) is that I had to add the accounts again. However, I didn't want to delete them, and lose the history in e.g. analytics, so I just tried to add them again, and Mixpost magically updated the initial ones.

So you were right, and there's nothing really wrong with Mixpost.

But perhaps something can be done to streamline this, or make it clearer for the user? Especially to avoid deleting accounts or the implication that you might need to. Are the "updates" done periodically by Mixpost? Is there a reason I might have had to re-add them rather than refresh them (which resulted in an error when I tried).

Hi @kurucu

There is a bug with the LinkedIn expiration connection. Soon, we will release fixes. Until then, just reconnect your LinkedIn account without deleting it.
