Solved javascript authentication linkedin-api

I have followed the instructions listed here in the 10 minute instructions: guide And the help from stackoverflow listed here: stackanswer

I still get this error:

Console.log error:

Uncaught Error: You must specify a valid JavaScript API Domain as part of this key's configuration.

My Code is this:

<script type="text/javascript" src="//platform.linkedin.com/in.js">
api_key:'98eeeu4fd587w4'
</script>

Where the api_key value is the value of Consumer Key / API Key from my app. And for the JavaScript API Domains I listed: http://mediaproof360.com,http://www.mediaproof360.com

After a day of research and trial and error I am hitting a wall.

Help is appreciated greatly. I have created a second app with credentials using that new API but still no luck.

Configure your LinkedIn application for JavaScript SDK use This is done by adding your domain(s) to the "JavaScript API Domains" field in your application's configuration: – Ilan 20/2, 2015 at 8:39

@Rejeesh look above – Ilan 20/2, 2015 at 9:46

Just to clarify. You must use "Client ID"(found in Authentication in your app configs) as api_key value. If you put a different value, and set correct the "JavaScript API Domains", you will still see the same error. – Pouched 20/5, 2015 at 19:58

You can try this code

<script type="text/javascript" src="//platform.linkedin.com/in.js">
    api_key: 98eeeu4fd587w4
</script>

No quotes with api key will work. Add this section in the <head> element.

Marking it as answer may help someone else to find it easily :) – Nebulose 26/2, 2015 at 6:21

The error message totally takes you in the wrong direction. Thanks :) – Moia 23/6, 2015 at 16:39

So, how do I make this dynamic. In other words, I want to add a variable name as the value like: api_key:$linkedinApiKey – Alike 7/3, 2018 at 16:43

That's not even JavaScript, the SDK's very nasty here. – Wishywashy 18/12, 2018 at 10:13

Had the same error message thrown by Linkedn. Though my solution appeared to be different.

I didn't specify my app's domain in settings. After I added it, all started working well. Pay attention to trailing slash. It may also cause errors

Link to your apps https://www.linkedin.com/developer/apps/.

Adding to @Rejeesh 's correct answer above, if you happen to echo the api_key from a configuration file and have other parameters such as "authorize: true" remember to add an end of line. For example, with PHP:

<script type="text/javascript" src="//platform.linkedin.com/in.js">
    api_key: <?php echo LINKEDIN_API_KEY . PHP_EOL; ?>
    authorize: true
</script>

If you don't do this you risk getting it all in the same line and you would also get the same error (your key would be invalid).

Adding to @Rejeesh 's and morunas's correct answers you may need to check your application java script settings and add your domain their as mentioned in Linkedin documentation
