Note

Retrieving media via the LinkedIn CDN requires converting URNs to URLs as described in the examples below using stock photos provided by LinkedIn.

  • If the media-typed URN starts with urn:li:media:, you will need to replace that with https://media.licdn.com/mpr/mpr . For example, urn:li:media:/gcrc/dms/image/ABC/background-displayphoto-shrink_800_800/0?e=1525021200&v=alpha&t=abc123 would translate to https://media.licdn.com/mpr/mpr/gcrc/dms/image/ABC/background-displayphoto-shrink_800_800/0?e=1525021200&v=alpha&t=abc123.
  • If the media-typed URN starts with urn:li:scds:, you will need to replace that with https://static.licdn.com/scds/common/u/. For example, urn:li:scds:images/apps/profile/topcard_backgrounds/texture_bokeh_1400x425.jpg would translate to https://static.licdn.com/scds/common/u/images/apps/profile/topcard_backgrounds/texture_bokeh_1400x425.jpg.
