Hey, thanks @rp for responding so quickly. I quickly created a gist. Here is the code for backendConfig: https://gist.github.com/BalachandraTejas/8e3c9474d559b3d42230139a2984ef57

Can you print out the value of accessTokenAPIResponse?

sorry for a dumb question, but i tried console.log, could not get the value. Could you tell me how to get the value of accessTokenAPIResponse pls

When LinkedIn redirects you back to your app, you should see that value

Do you reach that step?

ya it reaches a step where uri is something like "http://localhost:3000/?code=AQSNFrvH8oA..." and on its own redirects to http://localhost:3000/auth?rid=thirdpartyemailpassword&error=custom&message=Request+failed+with+status+code+403

Right. Okay

So where had you added the console log?

inside getProfileInfo()

Hmmm. And it’s not reaching there?

no

Weird..

Did u print it out as the first thing in that function?

What’s the reply from the /signinup API call? (When LinkedIn redirects you back)?

Are you sure it’s not reaching in that function? Cause the error you are getting indicates that the LinkedIn api to get user info is returning 403

i guess it is getting in that function as in linkedin developers page the error count is increasing

Yea. So it’s strange that your console log is not getting executed?

wait i am getting some console .log. 1 sec

got this in terminal: { [0] access_token: 'AQUSjR-B_3zsUGenXvr5lRGeJDSxaPgGTuMc3K4jMauEPgHEEZdLEZp7ocUqgwftV_Ah3gUk1LpzK6cy362aryNyFA3nNSJ3bsKsP-vgzd4S_CFvsWXJIrGpkR_D5bMCtAjRxK9VXC48hqWGLapAqkGSy13Q8uFBtRtNS2LcZWtK96jauyqgMmNiTeRH-BFfbFK6m4XXrAy0bAerqIVjvW4Z7Z2vFhU4bDPd74OQt-3BnZcC_QR153-u7Zv0gQJ3GzGdIiOWUOkoWGMCQZ3rrOjHZpN2eRFGgtwl73-aSVCC2yKp8YSuR5CGWQEHQbLhd5E6tyNGgkvnLY5m8xdjpw9yGd0OcA', [0] expires_in: 5183999 [0] }

Hey sorry @rp for so much trouble on a sunday

No worries! Haha

So you are getting the access token successfully.

So it’s something wrong with how you are calling the LinkedIn API then

Also, the return object should have the email and is verified info too. Not just the ID

ok alright. I will get all the info then test it.

Also, the scopes should be an array of strings

So you want to make it [“scope1”, “scope2”]

And then try again. Maybe that was the error

phew thanks a lot. I saw some progress which i was struggling for a few days. Surely will try your suggestions. Thanks a million. If I can buy you a coffee then do let me know.

Haha. You can tweet about us if your active on twitter
