I am experiencing an issue with accessing the LinkedIn API to retrieve metrics for shares. I can successfully create posts using the ugcPosts endpoint,
but when I try to retrieve metrics using the shares endpoint, I receive the following error:

{
“status”: 403,
“serviceErrorCode”: 100,
“code”: “ACCESS_DENIED”,
“message”: “Not enough permissions to access: shares.GET.NO_VERSION”
}

Here are the details of my setup:

• API Endpoints: https://api.linkedin.com/v2/ugcPosts (POST), https://api.linkedin.com/v2/shares/{postId} (GET)
• Scopes: openid, profile, w_member_social
• OAuth2 Flow: Authorization code flow
• Access Token: Successfully obtained and used for creating posts

Does anybody know the steps to resolve this issue? Are additional scopes or configurations required?

I generated my LinkedIn access token in the LinkedIn Dev portal.

Using that token,
I did a POST https://api.linkedin.com/v2/ugcPosts in postman and it worked.
I did a POST https://api.linkedin.com/v2/ugcPosts in a C# program and it worked.

Each time, I get the {postId} as a result.

But when I tried https://api.linkedin.com/v2/shares/{postId} in postman (with the same access token) it failed.
I didn’t try https://api.linkedin.com/v2/shares/{postId} in in my C# program (no benefit).

I repeated the same steps by generating my LinkedIn access token in my C# program.
Same results.
