URL Scheme for Linkedin

Question

I'm having an ios App. I'm able to open the linked native app from my ios App using the custom url scheme "linkedin://". But how to post a link to the linkedin native app through my ios App. Do we have any particular parameters for that?

What are the supported parameters for linkedin URL scheme?

Thanks, Thiagesh

Answer 1

Linkedin has changed the scheme, now it works in this way:

linkedin://profile/[id]

It works using the id which you can see when you open a profile from the browser after linkedin.com/in or linkedin.com/profile/view?id= The first one uses the "custom url" and the second the long and weird identifier. With that scheme you can use both of them. – Withindoors

Answer 2

You can jump to a profile with:

linkedin://#profile/9999

I just tested this on my iPhone 5. Works like a charm.

If you get LinkedIn profile via LinkedIn REST API, then you can find publicProfileUrl field in JSON:

{ 
  ...
  "publicProfileUrl": "https://www.linkedin.com/in/eugene-brusov"
  ...
}

Then this line of code:

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"https://www.linkedin.com/in/eugene-brusov"]];

redirects you to target profile opened in the native LinkedIn app if it's installed or to the profile opened in iOS default browser.

Tested on iOS 10.0.2 and 11.0.1.
