To tag a person on LinkedIn using the API we need the id of the person, Which is only accessible using the API itself.
LinkedIn has a company/page search API which we can easily use to get the id of the company/page and tag them in the caption.
But the API for searching person is restricted to only a selected developers.
I've tried scraping LinkedIn's website but no where do they have the id in the HTML of the webpage to filter out.
So the problem stands still, How do we get the id of the person, Using the vanity name or the URL, Which has the vanity name in it.
Notionsocial stores the ids of the connect LinkedIn accounts, So using this data, We can easily add:
- Ability to tag self
- Ability to tag other LinkedIn accounts connected to Notionsocial.
Also LinkedIn does provide other API's for searching connections, followers etc. I think I can also use them to add the ability to
- Tag a connection
- Tag a follower
Although you still could not tag just any person.
