How can I post an images carousel via LinkedIn API?

Heidi Pereira 1

Hello! I am getting the next error when I try to post an images in carousel on my LinkedIn company page:

com.linkedin.content.common.ResponseException: Carousel post must be a sponsored post

Any idea how can I fix this error?

Thank you

Could you show the calling code you're using to make the request?

This is the request, using JSON for the body.

@Heidi Pereira , Currently Microsoft Q&A doesn't support LinkedIn API, I suggest that you could ask the question in stackoverflow.
