    Hi Vekst, 

    Luke from the Product team here. Thanks for submitting this request. 

    I can't find this data in LinkedIn's API documentation. It looks like they have an image endpoint, which includes a downloadUrl field. However, I don't see any fields related to thumbnail URLs. Could you please confirm whether this downloadUrl field is what you're looking for? If not, can you share a link to LinkedIn's API documentation that includes the field you want to sync?

    Thanks,
    Luke

    Hi Luke,

     
    Thanks for your questions. The downloadUrl is exactly what's missing. 
     
    Inside the post_content and share_content table, there is a field called media_id.
     
    This media_id can have various prefix, eg urn:li:video:XX, urn:li:image:XX, or urn:li:document:XX. And that seems to be linked to the various Linkedin APIs.
    - Media that starts with urn:li:video:XX can be found through calling Linkedin's Video API.
    - urn:li:image:XX -> Linkedin's Image API
    - urn:li:document:XX  -> Linkedin's Document API
    - and so on
     
    It would be really great to have the downloadUrl in either the post_content and share_content table, or directly inside the ugc_post_history and share_history table.
     
    Best regards,
    Carmen at Vekst
