What is the purpose of the OAuth user token and the OAuth user secret entry that I get from LinkedId when I create the application

When I create a new application on LinkedIn, I get 4 separate codes:

  • API Key
  • The secret key
  • OAuth user current
  • OAuth User Secret

I am using the first two in an OAuth stream. What is the purpose of the last two ?

After reading a few more, I realized that this is my own user token and secret. The reason they are provided is to simplify the initial calls to the LinkedIn API.

The closest to the document I found is this forum post from a LinkedIn employee. However, this post does not clarify everything, for example: will this token expire? Does this token have all membership permissions?

Based on a small experiment, I suspect there are no answers and yes. But I'm not sure.

This is mainly used for API testing purposes, before you go ahead to implement your application, make sure the linkedin API is working fine.

For more information, you can see this link https://github.com/saranpal/linkedin-api-quick-start-php , here is a simple example to get information about the company.

Hooray!
