Errors

ClassWhen
LinkedInApiErrorLinkedIn answered a non-2xx status: status, code (ACCESS_DENIED…), serviceErrorCode, message, body
LinkedInAuthErrorNo token, an expired one, or a 401: sign in again with linkedin mcp config --web
LinkedInConfigErrorInput refused before sending: a bad file, text too long, two kinds of media, a bad URN
LinkedInMediaErrorLinkedIn could not process a video or document, or did not finish in time
LinkedInTimeoutErrorNo answer within timeoutMs
import { LinkedInApiError, LinkedInAuthError } from "@hoyasumii/linkedin";

try {
  await linkedin.deletePost(urn);
} catch (error) {
  if (error instanceof LinkedInAuthError) console.error("Sign in again: linkedin mcp config --web");
  else if (error instanceof LinkedInApiError && error.status === 404) console.error("No such post");
  else throw error;
}

The common statuses:

  • 403: the token lacks a permission (the app is missing a product), or the post is not yours;
  • 404: the post does not exist, or was deleted;
  • 429: the daily limit (150 posts per member) was reached;
  • 426 or a version message: the LinkedIn-Version was retired, so set a newer apiVersion.
