LinkedIn OAuth2: “Unable to verify access token”

by

For me the https://api.linkedin.com/v1/people/~?format=json&oauth2_access_token=[accessToken] didn’t work.

Adding reguest header

Authorization: Bearer [accessToken]

didn’t work until I went through linked in sdk and tested and found out that they also require you to add request header

x-li-src: msdk

With those two headers the call https://api.linkedin.com/v1/people/~?format=json worked.

Hopefully Linkedin fixes this undocumented requirement soon…
