Description

The LinkedIn plugin uses the UGC Posts API (/v2/ugcPosts) which LinkedIn has deprecated in favor of the Community Management API (/rest/posts).

Current endpoints:

• POST https://api.linkedin.com/v2/ugcPosts (publish)
• DELETE https://api.linkedin.com/v2/ugcPosts/{id} (delete)
• GET https://api.linkedin.com/v2/me (validate)

LinkedIn's migration path:

• Publishing: POST https://api.linkedin.com/rest/posts with versioned headers (LinkedIn-Version: 202401)
• Delete: DELETE https://api.linkedin.com/rest/posts/{urn}
• Profile: GET https://api.linkedin.com/v2/userinfo (OpenID Connect)

Changes needed

1. Update publish endpoint to /rest/posts with new payload format
2. Update delete endpoint to /rest/posts/{urn}
3. Add LinkedIn-Version header to all requests
4. Update payload structure from UGC format to Posts format
5. Consider also adding image upload via the Assets API (/rest/images)

Impact

• Severity: Medium -- works now but will break when LinkedIn sunsets UGC Posts API
• Affected file: source/packages/plg_mokosuitecross_linkedin/src/Extension/LinkedinService.php
