LinkedIn API request fails with "Unpermitted fields present in RESOURCE_KEY: Data Processing Exception while processing fields [/memberId]"

I'm trying the following request:

GET https://api.linkedin.com/v2/people/(id:urn:li:person:<person id>)?oauth2_access_token=<token>&projection=(results*(localizedFirstName,vanityName))

But I always get a:

{
    "serviceErrorCode": 100,
    "message": "Unpermitted fields present in RESOURCE_KEY: Data Processing Exception while processing fields [/memberId]",
    "status": 403
}

If I try to do it using the alternative API:

GET https://api.linkedin.com/v2/people?ids=List((id:urn:li:person:<person id>))&oauth2_access_token=<token>&projection=(results*(localizedFirstName,vanityName))

An Internal Server Error is returned:

{
    "message": "Internal Server Error",
    "status": 500
}

I'm using Google Chrome to perform those requests.

I tried using Postman too.

Headers:

X-Restli-Protocol-Version: 2.0.0
Authorization: Bearer <token>

Got:

{
    "serviceErrorCode": 0,
    "message": "Syntax exception in path variables",
    "status": 400
}

My app permissions are:

I tried other APIs (socialActivity, ugcPosts) and everything looks fine.

I checked my API usages at https://www.linkedin.com/developers/apps/<id>/usage and people usage is currently 0%.

The tested user profiles are also public.

You should only use the id (instead of the urn). also the fields projection is wrong:

Use:

projection=(localizedFirstName,vanityName)

Instead of:

projection=(results*(localizedFirstName,vanityName))

As example:

curl -H "X-Restli-Protocol-Version: 2.0.0" \
"https://api.linkedin.com/v2/me?oauth2_access_token=<TOKEN>&projection=(id)"

Will return

{
  "id": <ID>
}

and use it as:

curl -H "X-Restli-Protocol-Version: 2.0.0" \
"https://api.linkedin.com/v2/people/(id:<ID>)?oauth2_access_token=<TOKEN>&projection=(localizedFirstName,vanityName)"

So:

{
  "vanityName": "<VANITY-NAME>",
  "localizedFirstName": "<NAME>"
}

Hope this help

id parameter needs only person_id but you are providing urn.Try this https://api.linkedin.com/v2/people/(id:person_id) and don't forgot to include X-RestLi-Protocol-Version:2.0.0 in header while making call.
