UGC post video on LinkedIn to personal page

Question

I want to share a video with the UGC post API : https://developer.linkedin.com/docs/guide/v2/ads/create-and-manage-video

It works fine if I share a video to a company page. But it doesn't work with a personal page. I have this error:

urn:li:developerApplication:XXXXX does not have permission to create ugc posts with author: urn:li:member:XXXXXXXX

I have set these authorizations in my LinkedIn app: w_share, rw_organisation_admin, rw_compagny_admin, w_member_social, rw_organisation

Could you please help me? Many thanks.

Answer 1

it seems that you do not have the right permissions.

Your app needs to authorize an access token with the rw_ads permission to create and manage video ads. If your application needs read only access please use r_ads. If you are using legacy permissions, please refer to this page for requesting legacy permissions.

Answer 2

So I asked this on the LinkedIn Developer Support, and apparently this is a whitelisted functionality. Only a few apps can create video UGC posts: https://stackoverflow.com/a/54934631/7844946
