It's actually very simple. Just fill in your URL using the format below...

https://www.linkedin.com/sharing/share-offsite/?url={url}

Source: Official LinkedIn Share URL Documentation.

But then, you probably also want to share other information, right? Like title, description, and all that other good stuff. Do that using og: meta tags in your HTML header, like so...

  • <meta property='og:title' content='Title of the article"/>
  • <meta property='og:image' content='//media.example.com/ 1234567.jpg"/>
  • <meta property='og:description' content='Description that will show in the preview"/>
  • <meta property='og:url' content='//www.example.com/URL of the article" />

Want to make sure you did it correctly? That's the easiest part. Copy the URL of the website you want to share, like example.com, and input it here...

No,

Its not possible to Exploit Share Api without Authentication. LinkedIN has its Rest API, that you can use
