I have followed the instructions listed here in the 10 minute instructions: guide And the help from stackoverflow listed here: stackanswer

I still get this error:

Console.log error:

Uncaught Error: You must specify a valid JavaScript API Domain as part of this key's configuration.

My Code is this:

<script type="text/javascript" src="//platform.linkedin.com/in.js">
api_key:'98eeeu4fd587w4'
</script>

Where the api_key value is the value of Consumer Key / API Key from my app. And for the JavaScript API Domains I listed: http://mediaproof360.com,http://www.mediaproof360.com

After a day of research and trial and error I am hitting a wall.

Help is appreciated greatly. I have created a second app with credentials using that new API but still no luck.

    [Configure your LinkedIn application for JavaScript SDK use](https://developer.linkedin.com/docs/js-sdk) This is done by adding your domain(s) to the "JavaScript API Domains" field in your application's configuration: – Neha Agrawal Feb 20 '15 at 08:39
  • @Rejeesh look above – Neha Agrawal Feb 20 '15 at 09:46
  • Just to clarify. You must use "Client ID"(found in Authentication in your app configs) as api_key value. If you put a different value, and set correct the "JavaScript API Domains", you will still see the same error. – Marcelo Assis May 20 '15 at 19:58

You can try this code

<script type="text/javascript" src="//platform.linkedin.com/in.js">
    api_key: 98eeeu4fd587w4
</script>

No quotes with api key will work. Add this section in the <head> element.

Had the same error message thrown by Linkedn. Though my solution appeared to be different.

I didn't specify my app's domain in settings. After I added it, all started working well. Pay attention to trailing slash. It may also cause errors

Adding to @Rejeesh 's correct answer above, if you happen to echo the api_key from a configuration file and have other parameters such as "authorize: true" remember to add an end of line. For example, with PHP:

<script type="text/javascript" src="//platform.linkedin.com/in.js">
    api_key: <?php echo LINKEDIN_API_KEY . PHP_EOL; ?>
    authorize: true
</script>

If you don't do this you risk getting it all in the same line and you would also get the same error (your key would be invalid).

Adding to @Rejeesh 's and morunas's correct answers you may need to check your application java script settings and add your domain their as mentioned in Linkedin documentation
