linkedin api is such a pain

I don't know about LinkedIn API but I really hate LinkedIn UI. I find it so unfriendly

What is bad about it?

@asgs tbh i'm just annoyed that for other social networks there are plugins and easy solutions and linkedin doesn't have that, and i'm not getting very far with their oauth 2 api

@maushax no...

@darksideofyay looking at their docs, I don't see any surprises. What's going on, actually?

@asgs i got the authentication code, but can't get the access token, and i have no idea why

@maushax i'll take a look

@darksideofyay what happens when you try to exchange auth code for the token? Bad request? Internal server error?

And this is what you are following, right? https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/...

@asgs it says the request is a csrf attack

@darksideofyay that's weird. Is the state parameter value you sent before getting the code same as what you got back along with the code?

Even if it's not, CSRF check should be done by the app, not the authorization server. Maybe they expect you to relay that state while exchanging the code for the token? 🤔

@asgs that's the thing, the docs say i don't have to pass the state in the access token request, and it shows the same error either way

@darksideofyay time to ask your question on their forums or even SO with appropriate tags. I got a few Qs answered really quick

All the best

What kind of app are you doing?

@math-silva ionic/nodejs, i'm just trying to do a share button

@darksideofyay at work we implement a lot of things with the LinkedIn's API, it is really a pain.
