Please follow this tutorial if you want to implement OAUTH 2.0 for Linkedin.

In general, you have to do following steps (explained in this tutorial):

  1. Creating and configuring the Linkedin application. This application will be connected to your profile (or somebodies else who will be admin) and accept authorization requests. To do this you will use applications' endpoint.
  2. You have to implement logic in your C# application which will request Authorization Code from the Linkedin application. That code is generated once the user is authenticated. So, when you make request user will be redirected to the page to put LinkedIn credentials.
  3. Obtain Authorization Token. Once you obtain Access Token you have to make a request to obtain Authorization Token. This token is used to make requests for authorized resources. Basically in all resources which user cannot access if is not authorized.
  4. Make authenticated requests with Access Token. You have to append that token in each request which user makes.

This is general flow when using Linkedin OAUTH 2.0.
