Deprecation Notice
The Marketing version 202304 (Marketing April 2023) and below has been sunset and the unversioned APIs are going to be sunset soon. We recommend that you migrate to the versioned APIs as well as migrate to the new Content and Community Management APIs to avoid disruptions. See the Migration page for more details. If you haven’t yet migrated and have questions, submit a request on the LinkedIn Developer Support Portal.

The Posts API provides a simple way to create organic posts. Creating posts with image or video content requires uploading an image or video asset to obtain an Image or Video URN to create the UGC Post. See the Images and Videos API for instructions on how to do this.
