Invalid access token

[antoinealej]

Hi guys,

When I'm getting the access token using Postman I receive a 350 character long token.

When I'm doing it using react-linkedin-login-oauth2 I receive a 211 character long token.

There is a length difference between the 2, the one from Postman is longer.

When I use the Postman token to query https://api.linkedin.com/v2/emailAddress?q=members&projection=(elements*(handle~)) it works properly but when I use the shorter token from react-linkedin-login-oauth2 I receive an error from linkedin:

{
  serviceErrorCode: 65600,
  message: 'Invalid access token',
  status: 401
}

Any idea what I could be doing wrong?

Thanks

Same here... Has anyone found a solution?

Same here. This token doesn’t look right, check the value and try again.

I have exactly the same issue.

I have found an answer in the official linkedin authorization code flow documentation. This 211 character string that you're receiving is not the access token. It is an authorization code. Authorization code can be exchanged for an access token. To exchange it for an access token you can use linkedin-api-client library.
