LinkedIn is a professional networking platform where individuals and organizations can connect, share job opportunities, and build professional relationships. It's widely used for career development and professional networking. LinkedIn is owned by Microsoft.
First, open the Install new plugins screen in the Bubble editor.
To find this plugin, search for LinkedIn. Optionally, you can check the Login service checkbox to further filter the results. You can also scroll to the bottom of the filters list, under Built by and select Official to single out official plugins.
We recommend that you use the LinkedIn using OpenID Connect, as the older LinkedIn plugin is no longer updated.
Check that the Bubble logo is visible in the bottom-right, and then click Install.
The LinkedIn API follows a common pattern of requiring two different keys to authenticate your app.
API key: The App ID (also referred to as the API Key in some contexts) is essentially the public identifier for your app. Think of it like the name tag your app wears when it talks to LinkedIn. In this context, it's not to be confused with your secret access token: In fact, the Client ID doesn't need to be kept secret.
Secret key: The Secret Key, on the other hand, is like a password. It's used to secure communication between your app and LinkedIn's servers. Exposure of the Secret Key can lead to security risks, unlike the App ID.
After installing the plugin, you'll find it in your list of installed plugins and can click it to access its settings:

Reference: LinkedIn
The App ID is a public identifier, and does not need to be replaced if it's exposed.
The secret key should be kept securely private, as exposure can lead to security risks. We strongly recommend revoking the exposed key and creating a new one immediately. Remember to deploy the changes in your app to Live after replacing the secret key.
