High-Level Information:
The LinkedIn Ads Reporting API allows you to access and manage data related to your advertising campaigns on LinkedIn
Overview
The LinkedIn Ads connector lets you sync reporting data from your LinkedIn Ads account into your destination for analysis and attribution.
Use this source to pull standard LinkedIn Ads entities and performance metrics (for example, accounts, campaigns, creatives, and related insights) so you can build dashboards, monitor spend, and measure results over time.
Authentication
To authenticate the LinkedIn Ads source, connect using OAuth with a LinkedIn account that has access to the ad accounts you want to sync.
During setup, you’ll be prompted to:
- Sign in to LinkedIn and approve the requested permissions.
- Select the ad account(s) you want to grant access to.
After authorization completes, the connector stores an access token and uses it to fetch data from the LinkedIn Ads APIs. If your LinkedIn session expires or access is revoked, re-authenticate the connection to restore access.
