## Why this exists
Most "LinkedIn automation" is a risk: browser bots, cookie hacks, scraped data, and accounts that get restricted. LinkedIn also publishes a real, free API, but its documentation is spread over about 600 pages and the setup (apps, products, scopes, OAuth, versions, rate limits) trips almost everyone.
This project gives Claude everything needed to use that official API properly:
a step-by-step wizard that takes you from nothing to your first post (and tells you what an "API key" actually is on LinkedIn),
writing skills that make posts sound like you, with a built-in AI-tell checker,
safe publishing: dry run by default, a human approval step on every post, a daily call budget, a scheduler that never posts unapproved text,
analytics that respect LinkedIn's 100-calls-a-day limit,
and the whole LinkedIn API in 10 guides that Claude can answer from (auth, posting, analytics, limits, rules, errors, versions).
## Quick start (about 15 minutes)
1. Add the skills to Claude
text
/plugin marketplace add phoenixDatasolutions/Linkedin-Automation
/plugin install linkedin-automation --marketplace phoenixDatasolutions/Linkedin-Automation
Prefer to do it by hand? Copy the folders from skills/ into ~/.claude/skills/ (see other ways to install).
2. Install the five small commands (Python 3.9+, no other packages)
bash
pipx install git+https://github.com/phoenixDatasolutions/Linkedin-Automation
li-auth check
3. Tell Claude what you want
> "Set up LinkedIn automation for me."
Claude walks you through the rest, one step at a time (the linkedin-api-setup skill). You will:
1. create a free LinkedIn developer app,
2. add two instant products (no review needed),
3. type your client ID and secret into your own terminal (never into chat),
4. sign in once with LinkedIn's OAuth screen,
5. do a dry run, then your first post.
## How to get your LinkedIn "API key"
There is no single API key on LinkedIn. You create an app (you get a client ID and a client secret), then each person signs in with OAuth 2.0 and the app receives an access token that lasts 60 days. What you can do depends on which products you add to the app:
| You want | Add this product | Review? |
| Post to your own profile | Share on LinkedIn + Sign in with LinkedIn using OpenID Connect | No - instant |
| Read your own views, comments, reposts | Community Management API on a second app | Yes - days to weeks |
| Post as a Company Page | Community Management API, and you must be a Page admin | Yes |
The full click-by-click guide, with the exact screens and the errors people hit, is in docs/SETUP.md.
## What you get
| Skill | What it does |
| linkedin-api-setup | Guided wizard: Page, app, products, keys, sign-in, first test post. Never asks you to paste a secret into chat. |
