linkedin oauth authorization fails with "Bummer, something went wrong"


Bummer, something went wrong

https://www.linkedin.com/oauth/v2/authorization?response_type=code&client_id=test&redirect_uri=http://test.custom.com/abc/linkedin&state=DCEeFWf45A53sdfKef424asgTyhgTR5

when I use the above url I am getting "Bummer, something went wrong. We're having difficulty connecting."


Solution

  • Hello I had a similar problem and I fixed it by doing this ;

    You have to ensure that everything in your APP page ( https://www.linkedin.com/developer/apps ) matches the parameters in your authorization URL . SO for example in your case , https://www.linkedin.com/oauth/v2/authorization?response_type=code&client_id=test&redirect_uri=http://test.custom.com/abc/linkedin&state=DCEeFWf45A53sdfKef424asgTyhgTR5 ;

    You would have to ensure that your client_id in the auth URL matches the Client-Id on your APP page and also ensure that the redirect_uri you specified in your auth URL has been authorized on your app page as shown below . If you are passing in scopes as well, also ensure that they match perfectly . As you can see in the image below , my redirect_uri has been authorized from my app page . enter image description here
