Prerequisites for Creating a Connection

You must satisfy the following prerequisites for creating a connection with the LinkedIn Adapter.

1. Register your application at the LinkedIn developer console (https://www.linkedin.com/developer/apps) .
   The client ID and client secret are provided by LinkedIn when your application is registered. The client ID and client secret are application-specific and are different for every application.
2. Ensure that you have the credentials required to provide consent for access to the user’s LinkedIn profile.
3. Know the scope of the access request. Scopes enable you to specify which type of access you need, for example: r_basicprofile+r_emailaddress+w_share.
