API Features & Benefits
Simplified OAuth2 Flow
We handle the complex OAuth2 authentication with LinkedIn. No need to maintain token refresh logic or deal with session expiration.
Automatic Video Transcoding
Upload videos in any format. Our server-side FFmpeg processing converts them to LinkedIn's requirements (codec, resolution, aspect ratio).
Webhook Event Notifications
Receive real-time callbacks when uploads succeed, fail, or when authentication expires. Build reactive applications without polling.
Unified API Interface
Same request format for LinkedIn, TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram. Switch platforms without rewriting your integration code.
