Supported authentication method

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

  1. Create a new LinkedIn Developer application or select your existing application.

  2. Verify that prior authorization access has been granted for at least one three-legged OAuth permission.

  3. After configuring your application use the following URL to get the authorization code:

    GET https://www.linkedin.com/oauth/v2/authorization?response_type=code&client_id=
    {your_client_id}&redirect_uri={your_callback_url}&state=foobar&scope=liteprofile 
    emailaddress w_member_social
  4. 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:

  • It should have an integer or timestamp data type (for example, a creation timestamp or an employee ID).

  • The values must be unique and continuously increasing to ensure proper incremental reading.

Migrate schema

Boolean

False

Only available in Initial Load or Automated mode. Set to True to enable initial schema migration, which propagates the object schema from the source to the target.

Mode

Select list:

  • Automated mode

  • Initial load

  • Incremental load

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 (d), hours (h), minutes (m), or seconds (s). The reader polls the source at the specified interval.

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 % wildcard. Misconfiguration of the Tables and Exclude Tables properties can cause "Invalid table names" errors. Do not modify this property when recovery is enabled for the application.

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.
