As far as I can tell, with the new changes to the API's, LinkedIn's Group api's are no longer public at all. Are there any ways to access the posts made in a group without using the Group api?
All I'm looking to do is to read the posts from a public group.
There is no way to access that API publicly any longer. You would need to apply to be part of their partner program to get access to those endpoints once again:

I am looking for a way to use the Azure DevOps API to get membership of permission groups. The data I am looking for is in the following location on the front end:
I had the same requirement to get team membership within Azure DevOps and was able to do so using the following URI:
https://dev.azure.com/{organization}/_apis/projects/hrs/teams/{teamname}/members?api-version=6.0
I could not find a similar URI to get permission groups and need a way to pull this information using the API.
I've tried many of the API endpoints on the official api documentation (below) focusing on any that seem like they may pull security group related information. In all cases I came up short either because the endpoint did not provide me with what I was looking for, or the documentation for an endpoint wasn't clear on how parameters need to be structured for more advanced use cases.

I also tried asking this question to ChatGPT however the endpoints the chatbot provided me with did not work either.
I found a way to get what I am looking for, but I am not a big fan of the approach.
You can use the graph API to list all permission groups
once you have the permission groups, you can write a script to filter for the group object within the API response you want to get the members of.
The group object has the appropriate API endpoint to hit to get the member objects within the _links.memberships property.
Call the API with the memberships link from above. It will return an array of descriptors which can be used in further API calls.
For each descriptor, hit the appropriate API endpoint to resolve the object for that descriptor. If the descriptor starts with aad then it is a user and you can use the user get api. If the descriptor starts with aadgp then it is a group and you use the group get api.
This strategy is rather complicated and requires an API call for each member of the group. I'd hope there is a better solution.
I work for an ecommerce site and we are looking to expose much of our core functionality via a set of APIs. We plan on re-writing some of our own public facing applications (e.g. the main shop website and our mobile app) to call these new APIs also. We also want to offer some of these APIs out to third-parties who want to integrate with us.
My first question is - what is a suitable authentication method for these APIs? Everything I read is about OAuth, but am I right in saying that this doesn't fit in this case as we're not looking to use another log in system (e.g. Facebook, Google) but rather restrict access to our own API (so maybe an API key or JWT solution would be better?)
Secondly, our current website has it's own user accounts system. How do you offer /user endpoints (like GET user/1235/paymentmethods) in an API like this? Surely the actual user (website customer) needs to authenticate somehow in order for the given API consumer to access their data.
I've spent the last 2 days reading about this but I'm at a loss as to how to go about this! Any help much appreciated.
I have two microservices registrations, which is responsible for registering new users, and users, which hold information about users. Each of them has it's own database.
When a user tries to register, a call to users is made via the API, e.g.
GET users/verify?email=foo%40bar.com
to chech if the email has been already assigned to a profile. Although I could hide the access point users/verify in the public docs, it can still be accessible.
What is the best way to allow only private IPs make requests to the API?
You may use a Gateway, some alternatives are
Tyk
Kong
Netflix/Zuul
There is a nice article at https://thenewstack.io/api-gateways-age-microservices/
Keep it simple. Do it at the firewall level
Whitelist the IP(s) that you want to be able to make requests, reject the rest
I'm trying to retrieve the status updates of the authenticated user with the REST API. Is there a way to do that? I only can find a way to retrieve the status updates of the companies the user has admin rights of.
It is no longer possible with the standard LinkedIn API (If you look at their REST console, you can see all the public methods: https://apigee.com/console/linkedin?apig_cc=1).
You now need to join their partner program in order to access additional API methods now: https://developer.linkedin.com/partner-programs
I am currently developing a project using githubs v3 api and I am trying to find a way to get all issues across all repositories a user owns and is watching. How can I do that? The /user/issues and /issues only returns issues that a person is assigned to.
The endpoint you are using is correct:
/api.github.com/user/issues
According to the GitHub API page on issues, you can get all issues a user is subscribed to by including the filter parameter set to subscribed with your request.
You can get all issues a user is subscribed to at
/api.github.com/user/issues?filter=subscribed
