powerBI with LinkedIn
Hi, we are trying to get the data from LinkedIn using the below link https://powerpivotpro.com/2015/05/harness-power-query-to-gain-competitive-analysis-insights-from-linkedin/#comment-284285 ...

The basic API such as "retrieve basic profile data" can be called without problem in Power BI Desktop following the tutorial in that link.
When trying the 8th step, even in the http://apigee.com/console, it reponse 403 forbidden. So I think it is some permission that is required to call that API. How is the result when calling the API in the console in your case? I believe you'd get the same 403 error as well.
As to what exactly permission required, it all depends on Linkin side, I have no further expertise on that. You can ask help from the Linkin support.
