LinkedIn profile API returning 403

I'm not a LinkedIn partner - so I got an access token with r_basicprofile scope (and not r_fullprofile which is not available to me). According to the docs - this api requires either r_basicprofile or r_fullprofile. However, I cannot get any of my calls to go through without returning a 403. Any ideas?

https://api.linkedin.com/v2/me

or (all basic profile fields) https://api.linkedin.com/v2/people/(id:{profile ID})?projection=(id,firstName,lastName,industryId~)

Thanks, Mike

If you are not a current LinkedIn Partner, you do not have access to our v2 API just yet! Try making a similar request using our v1 API:

https://api.linkedin.com/v1/people/~

See https://developer.linkedin.com/docs/v1/people/profile-api for more information about the Profile API.
