SaturdayMP Show 83: Creating PostCast (Part 5 – Go PoC for LinkedIn API)

We get a Proof of Concept (PoC) in Go that completes the LinkedIn authorization. We end up figuring out the difference between a LinkedIn code and token. Get a code by entering your LinkedIn username and password, then use that code to get a token. We also spin up a local webserver to deal with the callback which is required to enter credentials and get the code.

*PostCast is just a place holder name and might change. The goofy PostCast placeholder image was generated by ChatGPT and will likely change.
