Hey guys, please see the screenshots… I am setting up an HTTP module to connect to LinkedIn. I figured out everything on my own. I did the following: 1. Set up everything within LinkedIn to communicate with Make. 2. Loaded all the following data into the HTTP module: - Connection Name - Authorization Base URL: `https://www.linkedin.com/oauth/v2/authorization`. - Token Base URL: `https://www.linkedin.com/oauth/v2/accessToken`. - The Client ID - The Client Secret - Scopes:`openid' 'profile' 'email`. - The correct Integromate Redirect URL I got the white screen you see below with the error and I have ZERO idea what it means. My connection is just cycling as you see in the screenshots. Any ideas? ![Screenshot 2024-07-18 at 3.35.25 PM](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/make/original/3X/7/e/7e02b9fb2d87923400af45eda9d8d282fb3087a7.png) ![Screenshot 2024-07-18 at 3.36.49 PM](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/make/original/3X/5/8/58d66f2e6246b0231b1b5396a8299e4a748fa1e4.png) ![Screenshot 2024-07-18 at 3.48.06 PM](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/make/original/3X/a/3/a3f10029500f267dac9551ec2bc1e772677a5ce9.png) ---

Hi, Just out of curiosity: why not use the LinkedIn connector already included in Make? Not criticizing, just curious. I also wanted to answer your question but to get access to the API involves jumping too many hoops… L ---

+1 to @L_Duperval 's question. Is there any endpoint that requires an HTTP connection? If you cannot find an existing module that fits your needs, you can always use the “Make an API Call” module- you don’t have to set up any additional authentication for it. ![SC_1 Simplymation.pl](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/make/original/3X/1/8/18b25c811058af3c238f14ce76d6cdb6aed9b464.png) ---

The LinkedIn API needs the OAUth setup if you want to use it. I thought it was an open API so I would have tested making the call, but according to the docs, you need permission from LinkedIn to use it. You ahve to fill in a form, get approved, etc. Doesn’t look like you can give Microsoft $1 to test the thing. 🙂 L ---

Darn good question… I thought about it, but wasn’t sure. I am pretty new to Make so learning by doing. I am learning coding, but brand new, so using the Make Academy and ChatGPT as a “Make Tutor”. Thanks for bringing it to my attention! ---

@L_Duperval It seems like the LinkedIn module might not support adding custom headers directly. I have to use an HTTP module to make the API call instead, which allows for more flexibility in setting headers and parameters. ---
