Javascript – How to fetch user posts from Linkedin

I am making an app where a user can sign in via LinkedIn (oAuth) and after that he can see his recent posts (activity feed). I am struggling to find that API end point with which I can retrieve the user’s posts. Is there any such end point available

    this API gives access to user's posts https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/linkedin/compliance/integrations/shares/ugc-post-api

    UGC belongs to Compliance API category and LinkedIn is not giving access to it https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/linkedin/shared/authentication/getting-access#compliance-closed

    Seems like we can't do it

    I think these two might be of most help for you:

    Find Posts by Account

    GET https://api.linkedin.com/rest/posts?dscAdAccount={encode dscAdAccount}&q=dscAdAccount&dscAdTypes=List(STANDARD,VIDEO)

    Find Posts by Authors

    GET https://api.linkedin.com/rest/posts?author={encoded person urn or organization urn like urn%3Ali%3Aperson%3A5abc_dEfgH or urn%3Ali%3Aorganization%3A2414183}&q=author&count=10&sortBy=LAST_MODIFIED

    Read this to learn about URNs:

    URNs are used to represent foreign associations to an entity (persons,
    organizations, and so on) in an API. A URN is a string-based
    identifier with the format:

    urn:{namespace}:{entityType}:{id}

    For example:

    urn:li:person:123
urn:li:organization:456
urn:li:sponsoredAccount:789

    URNs encode more information, including the entity type. Using the
    entity type, it’s possible to dereference a URN and access the
    underlying data of the entity using a process called decoration.

    URN values returned from LinkedIn’s APIs are a maximum of 255
    characters in length. IDs

    Simple integer IDs are returned to represent an object’s primary key.
    Your application should support transforming URNs into IDs and vice
    versa. IDs versus URNs

    IDs are self-referencing identifiers similar to a primary key. URNs
    are Globally Unique Identifiers (GUID) used to represent an entity’s
    foreign associations.

    In the example below, we fetch details about a share and use a
    projection to limit the results to the id and owner fields. The shares
    API returns an id that is the primary key and an owner that is a
    foreign reference to the person who created the share in the form of a
    URN.
