App Permission: r_basicprofile, r_emailaddress, w_share

ServicePointManager.Expect100Continue = true;
        ServicePointManager.SecurityProtocol = SecurityProtocolType.Tls12;

        string requesturl = "https://api.linkedin.com/v2/me?projection=(id,firstName,lastName)";


        HttpWebRequest webRequest = System.Net.WebRequest.Create(requesturl) as HttpWebRequest;
        webRequest.Method = "GET";
        webRequest.Host = "api.linkedin.com";

If you are using V2 API and you did not taken permission to use r_basicprofile then either apply for permission to use r_basicprofile to linkedin

OR use r_liteprofile + r_emailaddress for V2 (also check r_liteprofile permission is there in your app or not )

r_liteprofile for firstName,lastName,profilePicture,id r_emailaddress for getting emailAddress
