Create direct url to LinkedIn company update

Question

I\'m implementing a Compony newsfeed on a website and ran into the following problem. The LinkedIn API doesn\'t provide a direct URL to a company update. Looking at the LinkedIn

Answer 1

Updated to new format

You can link directly to any update (company or user) using the following url:

https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:[topic_id]

You can get [topic_id] by getting the last bit of the updateKey in the api response from Linkedin. When updateKey = UPDATE-c7352-6410848097894756353, your topic_id = 6410848097894756353.

In your example that would become https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:5849556347070205952 which links directly to the specific update. The post is too old to work with the new link format

The url used to be

https://www.linkedin.com/nhome/updates/?topic=[topic_id]
