LinkedIn Api: network/updates gives 403

I'm using linkedin-oauth2 gem to connect with LinkedIn Api. The following snippet gives me 403 error:

client = LinkedIn::API.new(user_access_token)
client.profile # works well
client.network_updates # gives 403 error

I gave all possible permissions to the app (including rw_nus). Any ideas?

You are getting probably this issue because you are not setting properly the scope for the omniauth gem to request this permissions on the client-side oauth2 besides how the app permissions are configured in the Linkedin developer network site.

Try addind something like

:scope => 'r_fullprofile r_contactinfo r_emailaddress r_network'

to the existing config line you might have in the Omniauth (or Devise) initializer file.

provider :linkedin, ENV['LINKEDIN_KEY'], ENV['LINKEDIN_SECRET']

Then you should get both Apps working good.

I think it's a problem on LinkedIn side connected with cache. Adding permissions to the existing app doesn't work but creating app with needed permissions gives exactly what i want.
