extent analysis

TL;DR

Update the LinkedIn API version to an active version, as the currently requested version 20250401 is not active.

Guidance

  • Check the LinkedIn API documentation to find the latest active version and update the request accordingly.
  • Verify the error message for any additional information that might indicate the correct version to use.
  • Test the updated request with the new version to ensure it resolves the error.
  • If the issue persists, review the n8n workflow configuration to ensure it is correctly set up to handle API version changes.

Example

No code snippet is provided as the issue does not include specific code details.

Notes

The solution assumes that the LinkedIn API version can be updated in the n8n workflow configuration. If the version is hardcoded or managed externally, additional steps may be required to update it.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Update the LinkedIn API version to an active version, as the error message indicates that the requested version is not active. This should resolve the error and allow the workflow to proceed.
