Description
LinkedIn API integration with managed OAuth. Share posts, manage profile, and access LinkedIn features. Use this skill when users want to share content on LinkedIn, get profile/organization information, or interact with LinkedIn's platform. Advertising features (campaigns, ad accounts) require additional OAuth scopes — verify granted scopes before use. For other third party apps, use the api-gateway skill (https://clawhub.ai/byungkyu/api-gateway). Requires network access and valid Maton API key. Calls run through the `maton` CLI with OAuth login, or over raw HTTP with a Maton API key where the CLI cannot be installed. The endpoints documented here are the intended surface, not a technical limit — the `maton api` passthrough can reach others the connection permits. Default to read and list calls, and confirm every write or new connection with the user.
Usage Guidance
Install only if you are comfortable connecting LinkedIn through Maton. Review requested OAuth scopes carefully, prefer read-only access when possible, and require explicit confirmation before posts, deletes, campaign changes, budget changes, or ad account updates.
Capability Assessment
Credentials
Network access, OAuth, LinkedIn account access, and occasional local media file reads are proportionate to LinkedIn API and upload workflows.
Install Mechanism
Installation relies on external Maton CLI or optional SDK packages via npm, Homebrew, pip, or npm; no bundled executable files were present in the artifact.
Instruction Scope
It uses a broad maton api passthrough that can reach any LinkedIn endpoint the connection permits, but this is explicitly disclosed and paired with read-first and confirm-before-write rules.
Persistence & Privilege
OAuth tokens, API keys, and SDK sessions may be stored by Maton or the operating system credential store, but the skill discloses this and instructs agents not to read, print, persist, or exfiltrate credentials.
Purpose & Capability
The skill purpose is LinkedIn API access for profiles, posts, organizations, media, analytics, and advertising; the documented capabilities match that purpose.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install linkedin-api - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/linkedin-api - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
Version History
v1.2.1
Address security-audit findings: disclose the api passthrough in the access-scope and description text, warn on irreversible connection deletion, add response data-minimization guidance, and correct app-specific auth and request-body notes
v1.2.0
CLI-first rewrite with the Maton SDK examples; clarify that the CLI and SDKs keep separate credential stores, and reword webhook egress warnings
v1.1.0
CLI-first rewrite: the maton CLI with OAuth login is the documented path, every example is a maton command, SDK examples added, and the raw HTTP fallback feeds the key on stdin instead of reading it from the environment
