LinkedIn company feed/updates in v2 API

I would like to show a company's feed/updates/post on a website. I am the owner/admin of the LinkedIn page. Most of the related questions are old and uses V1. This similar questions also seems unanswered (LinkedIn Company Feed in API v2?). LinkedIn support are of no help and they instruct me to ask questions on Stackoverflow.

I created an App on LinkedIn and they assigned default permissions (r_emailaddress, r_liteprofile, w_member_social). But these permissions are of no use to me since I just want to show the company feeds on the website. Neither I want any user to login to LinkedIn nor I want to read the users/visitors email addresses or profile. Already went through a lot of their documentation but there is no clear mentioning of how to do this.

I read that company updates can be retrieved using the /ugcPosts API. GET https://api.linkedin.com/v2/ugcPosts?q=authors&authors=List(url-encoded organization Urn). But in order to do that I need r_organization_social permission. How to get this permission?

Also in this scenario, since I just want to retrieve company posts, I can use 2 legged oauth: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/linkedin/shared/authentication/client-credentials-flow?context=linkedin/context instead of 3 legged oauth. But when I try to generate access token I get error "access_denied: This application is not allowed to create application tokens" https://www.linkedin.com/oauth/v2/accessToken?grant_type=client_credentials&client_id=xxxxx&client_secret=xxxxx&redirect_uri=http://xxxxx.local/&state=fasdfasdfs

Does anyone know how to achieve this?

Thanks!

You need to apply for the LinkedIn Marketing Partner Program. You can do so by adding this product to the app you have created.

Once you have access, you can read the company feed using the following API endpoint:

https://api.linkedin.com/v2/shares?q=owners&owners=urn:li:organization:12345&sharesPerOwner=100&count=25

Hope this helps.
