title: LinkedIn API unable to view _any_ company profile
body: <p>I'm trying to figure out how to access <em>any</em> company profile on LinkedIn. For example, the <a href="https://developer.linkedin.com/docs/company-pages#company_profile">REST endpoint API</a> for LinkedIn itself is:</p>
  
  <pre><code>https://api.linkedin.com/v1/companies/1337?format=json
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>with the sample response of:</p>
  
  <pre><code>{
    "id": 1337,
    "name": "LinkedIn"
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>However, after authenticating with OAuth2 with <code>rw_company_admin</code> enabled, my app returns:</p>
  
  <pre><code>{
    "errorCode": 0,
    "message": "Member 206xxxxxx does not have permission to get company 1337",
    "requestId": "G6LNMCEZO8",
    "status": 403,
    "timestamp": 1432358171348
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This worked up until very recently. </p>
  
  <p>The documentation <a href="https://developer.linkedin.com/docs/company-pages#company_profile">does note that</a> <em>"In order to perform any of the company page management API calls below, the authenticated LinkedIn user making the requests must be an administrator of the target company."</em> Confusingly, <a href="https://developer.linkedin.com/support/developer-program-transition">it also says that</a> <em>"The following endpoints are the only ones that will remain available for use... Companies API — <code>/v1/companies/{id}</code>"</em>.</p>
  
  <p>However, my goal isn't to manage a company as an admin, it's to show a user a brief output of the company. How can I get company info?</p>
