LinkedIn V2 API how to get connections and such

Question

I made an app and I am succesfully able to retrieve my own info (/v2/userinfo), but I would also like to retrieve a list of my connections.

My app says I have these permissions:

openid Use your name and photo profile Use your name and photo w_member_social Create, modify, and delete posts, comments, and reactions on your behalf email Use the primary email address associated with your LinkedIn account

Does anyone know how I can get more access?

https://api.linkedin.com/v2/connections?q=viewer&start=0&count=50

Gives me the error:

Not enough permissions to access: GET-viewer /connections

What I want is:

1. Retrieve a list of connections
2. Be able to check what my connections posted i.e. is there a new post or now

Been going through the LinkedIn API documentation but I find it horrible, and I am unable to find what I am looking for.

Hope someone can help me out!

EDIT:

I have these permissions:

Share on LinkedIn Advertising API Sign In with LinkedIn using OpenID Connect

I got the /me endpoint working successfully, but most other endpoints are not working plus, I cannot figure out how to retrieve someone else their posts.

I want to retrieve posts made by other people.

Answer 1

it seems to me that you want r_fullprofile access or something similar, as far as I am aware of, this is now private API, and you can check out this response here. But in essence you have to enter Partner Program.
