LinkedIn Share Post URL with parameter

I have created a post on my websites when I shared on LinkedIn, it's not showing complete URL of sharing.

Currently, I am using https://www.linkedin.com/sharing/share-offsite/?url=www.example.com/share/?id=12654

But When I am sharing with LinkedIn using above its redirect to below URL :

www.example.com/share

Its removing parameter which passed using id. How I can get the full URL: www.example.com/share/?id=12654

Don't forget to do URL-encoding with parameters you are feeding to another URL. So, your link should be ...&url=https%3A%2F%2Fw..., and not ...&url=https://. Your URL also contains a question mark that should be escaped. Ultimately, your URL should look like this..

https://www.linkedin.com/sharing/share-offsite/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.example.com/share/%3Fid=12654

URL encoding is required any time you are sending a URL as an argument to the GET param of another URL.
