My task is to share a post to linked in from a page. I have gone through linked in documentation, but I couldn't understand what to do. I have googled for days and I didn't get a clear idea.
Can anyone clearly explain about how to share to linkedin. I dont want to share a whole page but only a particular post.
Here is the code I got from the net, but I have no idea what is happening in this code.
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="//platform.linkedin.com/in.js">
api_key: xxxxxxxxx
authorize: true
onLoad: onLinkedInLoad
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
// Setup an event listener to make an API call once auth is complete
function onLinkedInLoad() {
IN.Event.on(IN, "auth", shareContent);
}
// Handle the successful return from the API call
function onSuccess(data) {
console.log(data);
}
// Handle an error response from the API call
function onError(error) {
console.log(error);
}
// Use the API call wrapper to share content on LinkedIn
function shareContent() {
// Build the JSON payload containing the content to be shared
var payload = {
Content-Type: application/json
x-li-format: json
"comment": "Check out developer.linkedin.com!",
"content": {
"title": "LinkedIn Developers Resources",
"description": "Leverage LinkedIn's APIs to maximize engagement",
"submitted-url": "https://developer.linkedin.com",
"submitted-image-url": "https://example.com/logo.png"
},
"visibility": {
"code": "anyone"
}
};
IN.API.Raw("/people/~/shares?format=json")
.method("POST")
.body(JSON.stringify(payload))
.result(onSuccess)
.error(onError);
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<script src="//platform.linkedin.com/in.js" type="text/javascript"> lang: en_US</script>
<script type="IN/Share"></script>
</body>
</html>
Do I need any other files along with the codes?
I am working in codeigniter.
Please help.
Thanks in advance.
