Using LinkedIn API to retrieve advertising reports

Question

I'm working on a simple app to programmatically retrieve ads performance within Linkedin. I have general API experience but this is the first time i get my feet wet with the Linkedin API.

One example from Linkedin API documentation suggest something that would get me started:

GET https://api.linkedin.com/v2/adAnalyticsV2?q=analytics&dateRange.start.month=1&dateRange.start.day=1&dateRange.start.year=2016&timeGranularity=MONTHLY&pivot=CREATIVE&campaigns=urn:li:sponsoredCampaign:112466001

I am encountering two problems:

First this example implies that you already know the campaign ID. However I am unable to find a way to retrieve a list of campaign ID's for a given account.

Second, if I manually pull a campaign ID, I receive an error: "{"serviceErrorCode":2,"message":"Too many fields requested. Maximum possible fields to request: 20","status":400}". Pretty clear error. A little research tells me that by adding the parameter "&fields=" I will be able to limit my query to less than 20 field (I really need only a dozen anyway) but I can't find and documentation regarding the names of the fields available.

Any help or pointer will be appreciated.

Ok, with a few attempts i found an answer to my first question: Basically this url will provide what I was looking for: api.linkedin.com/v2/… In this case I limit the result to only 3 fields and only retrieve active campaigns, it seems to work. I'm still looking for a list fo fields for the campaign performance. — Marcobat

url = 'https://api.linkedin.com/v2/adCampaignsV2' pass headers Authorization: f'Bearer {access_token}'

use this to retrieve campaign details for an account, To get the access token,

go to this "https://www.linkedin.com/oauth/v2/authorization?response_type=code&client_id={your_client_id}&redirect_uri={your_redirect_uri}&scope=r_ads+rw_ads"
grab the code and get access token through "https://www.linkedin.com/oauth/v2/accessToken" this endpoint
