Versioning Announcment

Beginning in 2024, new API endpoints and updates will be released on LinkedIn's versioned APIs. Versioning will allow adoption of new API features on your own schedule, requiring less coordination between you and LinkedIn to deliver increased value to our mutual customers, and will also allow more rapid release of new features to LinkedIn's developer platform. Calling versioned APIs requires minor changes to how requests are to LinkedIn are structured. This document describes the changes and provides recommendations for to make adoption of new versions easier.

New Base URL

Versioned APIs will have a new base URL, as described in the table below.

Old Base URL	New URL
https://api.linkedin.com/v2/	https://api.linkedin.com/rest/

New Version Header

All requests to versioned APIs will require a new LinkedIn-Version header, populated with a version identifier.

Example Request with Version Header

GET /rest/someEndpoint HTTP/1.1
Host: api.linkedin.com
Linkedin-Version: 20240101

Recommendations for Migration

In order to facilitate easy migration, you should make the base URL and version header configurable modifications to your solution. When new API versions are released, modifying configurations should take minimal time to facilitate adoption of the latest APIs.
