# LinkedIn

LinkedIn has become an OpenID Connect compliant provider, avoiding the need for a custom OAuth2 implementation. Therefore, the `linkedin_oauth2` provider is now deprecated. You can setup LinkedIn, like any other OpenID Connect provider, as follows:

    SOCIALACCOUNT_PROVIDERS = {
        "openid_connect": {
            "APPS": [
                {
                    "provider_id": "linkedin",
                    "name": "LinkedIn",
                    "client_id": "<insert-id>",
                    "secret": "<insert-secret>",
                    "settings": {
                        "server_url": "https://www.linkedin.com/oauth",
                    },
                }
            ]
        }
    }
