> How to create OAuth credentials for LinkedIn.

LinkedIn supports OAuth 2.0 for accessing its APIs. You create an application through the LinkedIn Developer Solutions portal to get your Client ID and Client Secret.

## Steps

1. **Create a LinkedIn Developer Application**
   * Go to [https://developer.linkedin.com](https://developer.linkedin.com)
   * Click **Create app**
   * Enter the required details:
     * **App name**
     * **Company page URL** (LinkedIn company page)
     * **App logo**
   * Read and agree to the legal terms
   * Click **Create App**

2. **Get Client ID and Client Secret**
   * Navigate to the application you just created
   * Go to the **Auth** tab
   * Under **Application credentials**, find the **Client ID** and **Client Secret**
   * Copy and save both values securely

3. **Configure the Redirect URI**
   * In the **Auth** tab, scroll to **OAuth 2.0 Settings** (below Application Credentials)
   * Add your OAuth callback URL

4. **Configure Scopes / Products**
   * LinkedIn scopes are tied to **Products** that you request access to
   * Go to the **Products** tab and request access to the products you need (e.g., Sign In with LinkedIn, Share on LinkedIn, Marketing Developer Platform)
   * Available scopes depend on which products are approved
