Supported authentication method
The LinkedIn Company Pages Reader support OAuth authentication. To obtain credentials:

Get an access token:
curl --location --request POST 'https://www.linkedin.com/oauth/v2/accessToken' \ --header 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' \ --data-urlencode 'grant_type=authorization_code' \ --data-urlencode 'code={authorization_code_from_step2_response}' \ --data-urlencode 'client_id={your_client_id}' \ --data-urlencode 'client_secret={your_client_secret}' \ --data-urlencode 'redirect_uri={your_callback_url}'

LinkedIn Company Pages Reader properties
Property | Type | Default value | Notes |
---|---|---|---|
Access token | Password | The access token of the user's app registered in LinkedIn. | |
Client ID | String | Client ID of the user's app registered in LinkedIn. | |
Client secret | Password | Client secret of the user's app registered in LinkedIn. | |
Connection pool size | Integer | 20 | Specifies the maximum number of active connections. |
Exclude tables | String | A list of tables excluded from read operations. Typically used to create a list of exceptions when the Tables property includes wildcards. Misconfiguration of the Tables and Exclude Tables properties can cause "Invalid table names" errors. | |
Incremental load marker | String | The incremental load marker is a unique incremental column in each object used for incremental load. When no marker is specified, tables are resynced at each polling interval. Specify the name of the column that contains the start position value. This column must meet the following criteria:
| |
Migrate schema | Boolean | False | Only available in Initial Load or Automated mode. Set to |
Mode | Select list:
| Automated | Automated mode applies incremental updates to objects that support incremental load and performs full resyncs for objects that do not support incremental load. |
Polling interval | Integer | 5m | Specifies an interval as an integer followed by a unit. Supported units are days ( |
Start Position | String | %=-1 | Value of the incremental load marker that defines the initial reading position. |
Tables | String | A semicolon-delimited (;) list of objects to read from the source. Supports the | |
Thread pool count | Integer | 10 | The number of parallel running threads. The default value of zero specifies single-threaded operation. When the value of the thread pool counter is higher than the connection pool size, large data ingestion operations can cause the app to halt. Since best performance is achieved when using one thread for each table being synced, increasing the size of the connection pool to match the number of threads in use is a performance best practice. |
