Connecting

curl -X POST https://api.social-api.ai/v1/accounts/connect \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $SOCAPI_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "platform": "linkedin",
    "metadata": {
      "redirect_uri": "https://app.example.com/oauth/callback"
    }
  }'

Redirect your user to auth_url. After they authorize, LinkedIn redirects to your redirect_uri with ?code=...&state=.... Then call: 
curl -X POST https://api.social-api.ai/v1/oauth/exchange \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $SOCAPI_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{

Notes

  • Moderation - LinkedIn only supports deleting comments. Hide and unhide actions return 501.
  • Post updates - Only the text content of a post can be updated. Media attachments cannot be changed after publishing.
  • Toggle comments - You can enable or disable comments on posts you own.
  • Token refresh - LinkedIn OAuth tokens expire after 60 days. SocialAPI handles refresh automatically. If you receive 401 with code: "invalid_token", reconnect the account.
  • Required scopes - Your LinkedIn App must have these scopes approved: r_liteprofile, rw_organization_admin, r_organization_social, w_organization_social.
