LinkedIn Identity Provider APIs
Overview
This API has been available since 1.23.0
The LinkedIn identity provider type will use OAuth 2.0 to authenticate a user with LinkedIn. It will also provide a Login with LinkedIn
button on FusionAuth’s login page that will direct a user to the LinkedIn login page. Additionally, after successful user authentication, this identity provider will call LinkedIn’s /v2/me
and /v2/emailAddress
APIs to load additional details about the user and store them in FusionAuth.
The email address returned by the LinkedIn /v2/emailAddress
API will be used to create or look up the existing user. Additional claims returned by LinkedIn can be used to reconcile the User to FusionAuth by using a LinkedIn Reconcile lambda. Unless you assign a reconcile lambda to this provider, only the email
address will be used from the available claims returned by LinkedIn.
FusionAuth will also store the LinkedIn access_token
returned from the login endpoint in the identityProviderLink
object. This object is accessible using the Link API.
The identityProviderLink
object stores the token so that you can use it in your application to call LinkedIn APIs on behalf of the user if desired.
Prior to version 1.28.0
, the token was stored in the UserRegistration
object, in the tokens
Map.

Update the LinkedIn Identity Provider
This API is used to update an existing LinkedIn Identity Provider.
There is only one LinkedIn Identity Provider, so this Identity Provider may be updated by type or Id.
You must specify all of the properties of the LinkedIn Identity Provider when calling this API with the PUT
HTTP method. When used with PUT
, this API doesn’t merge the existing LinkedIn Identity Provider and your new data. It replaces the existing LinkedIn Identity Provider with your new data.
Utilize the PATCH
HTTP method to send specific changes to merge into an existing LinkedIn Identity Provider.
Request
Update the LinkedIn Identity Provider by type
PUT /api/identity-provider?type=LinkedIn
PATCH /api/identity-provider?type=LinkedIn
Available since 1.39.0
When using the PATCH method, you can either use the same request body documentation that is provided for the PUT request for backward compatibility. Or you may use either JSON Patch/RFC 6902 or JSON Merge Patch/RFC 7396. See the
PATCH
documentation for more information.Available since 1.12.0
When using the PATCH method, use the same request body documentation that is provided for the PUT request. The PATCH method will merge the provided request parameters into the existing object, this means all parameters are optional when using the PATCH method and you only provide the values you want changed. A
null
value can be used to remove a value. Patching anArray
will result in all values from the new list being appended to the existing list, this is a known limitation to the current implementation of PATCH.

Response
This API does not return a JSON response body.
Code | Description |
---|---|
200 |
The request was successful. The response will be empty. |
400 |
The request was invalid and/or malformed. The response will contain an Errors JSON Object with the specific errors. This status will also be returned if a paid FusionAuth license is required and is not present. |
401 |
You did not supply a valid Authorization header. The header was omitted or your API key was not valid. The response will be empty. See Authentication. |

500 |
There was an internal error. A stack trace is provided and logged in the FusionAuth log files. The response will be empty. |
Complete the LinkedIn Login
This API allows you to complete a LinkedIn login after authenticating a user using the LinkedIn API. If you are using the FusionAuth login UI with the LinkedIn button you will not utilize this API directly.
This API is intended to be used if you want to build your own login page and you have added the LinkedIn login button to your own login page and you then need to complete the login with FusionAuth.
For example, if you built your own login page, you could add a "Login with LinkedIn" button and complete the LinkedIn authentication. When you complete the LinkedIn authentication you will have been returned an id token from LinkedIn. Using this API you can pass that id token to FusionAuth and we will complete the login workflow and reconcile the user to FusionAuth.
The user does not need to exist yet in FusionAuth to utilize this API, depending on the configured linking strategy. The id token returned from LinkedIn will be used to retrieve the user’s email address or username and if that user does not yet exist in FusionAuth the user may be created.
If createRegistration has been enabled for this identity provider and the user does not yet have a registration for this application, a registration will be automatically created for the user. The user will be assigned any default roles configured for the application.
If createRegistration has not been enabled, a registration will not be created if one does not yet exist. This is useful if you wish to manually provision users and then subsequently allow them to login with LinkedIn.
Request
POST /api/identity-provider/login
Request Headers
- X-Forwarded-For [String] Optional
-
The IP address of a client requesting authentication. If the IP address is provided it will be stored in the user’s login record. It is generally preferred to specify the IP address in the request body. If it is not provided in the request body this header value will be used if available. However, the request body value takes precedence.
- X-FusionAuth-TenantId [String] Optional
-
The unique Id of the tenant used to scope this API request.
The tenant Id is not required on this request even when more than one tenant has been configured because the tenant can be identified based upon the request parameters or it is otherwise not required.
Specify a tenant Id on this request when you want to ensure the request is scoped to a specific tenant. The tenant Id may be provided through this header or by using a tenant locked API key to achieve the same result.
See Making an API request using a Tenant Id for additional information.
Request Body
- applicationId [UUID] Required
-
The Id of the Application the user is to be logged into. This application must have LinkedIn login enabled for this request to succeed.
- data.code [String] Required
-
When using the authorization code grant, LinkedIn will have returned an authorization code. To complete the login request, provide the
code
and theredirect_uri
parameters to allow FusionAuth to complete this grant by exchanging the authorization code for anaccess_token
. - data.redirect_uri [String] Required
-
The redirect URI that was provided to the LinkedIn Authorization endpoint. This value will be sent to the Token Info API as the
redirect_uri
parameter. - identityProviderId [UUID] Required

For the LinkedIn identity provider, this value will always be
6177c09d-3f0e-4d53-9504-3600b1b23f46
. - ipAddress [String] Optional
-
The IP address of the end-user that is logging into FusionAuth. If this value is omitted FusionAuth will attempt to obtain the IP address of the client, the value will be that of the
X-Forwarded-For
header if provided or the last proxy that sent the request. The IP address will be stored in the User login history. - metaData.device.description [String] Optional
-
A human readable description of the device represented by the
device
parameter. - metaData.device.lastAccessedAddress [String] Optional
-
The IP address of this login request.

- noJWT [Boolean] Optional defaults to
false
-
When this value is set to true a JWT will not be issued as part of this request. The response body will not contain the
token
field, and theaccess_token
andrefresh_token
cookies will not be written to the HTTP response.This optional parameter may be helpful when performing high volume authentication requests and the JWT is not being utilized, in this scenario removing the additional latency required to issue and sign the JWT may have a measurable cumulative effect on performance.
- noLink [Boolean] Optional defaults to
false
Available since 1.29.0 -
When this value is set to
true
, if a link does not yet exist to a FusionAuth user, a404
status code will be returned instead of using the requested linking strategy. This may be useful if you want to identify if a link exists before starting a full interactive workflow with the user to complete a link.
