I want to scrap the datas from LinkedIn posts as a member, not an organization.
What is the problem?
I am posting to my personal profile, I need a module like Get a Member Post. However, there is only “Get a Company Post” in my Make account. Is it the reason why it doesnt work ?
Is there an other way to scrap my LinkedIn datas ?
When I run the scenario, I get the following error:
DataError 403: Accessing the UGC resource is forbidden. Please check your permissions for this resource
I suspect the 403 is because a “Company” function cannot read a “Member” post.
What have you tried so far?
I tried to change the id of my post to match the ID of an organization. I also tried to reauthorize my LinkedIn account in Make but It didnt change anything.
This is a really common question, so you’re not doing anything wrong here. The behavior you’re seeing is actually coming from LinkedIn’s API, not from Make.
LinkedIn doesn’t allow access to analytics for personal (member) posts through their public APIs. Analytics are only available for company pages and for posts published on behalf of an organization with the right permissions. That’s why Make only shows options related to company posts, and why you’re getting the 403 error when trying to use a personal post ID.
Reconnecting your account or changing the ID won’t fix it, because the permission simply isn’t available. Unfortunately, there isn’t an official way to retrieve analytics for personal LinkedIn posts via the API at this time.
Oh okay thank you for your answer! It reassures me. Originally I wanted to build this scenario for an organization but since I don’t have access to it yet, I wanted to test it on my own account. Guess I will wait!
What is your goal?
