Log in with LinkedIn OpenID Laravel Socialite example

laravel-socialite-linkedin-oauth.php

Route::get('/auth/linkedin', function () {
    return Socialite::driver('linkedin-openid')
        ->scopes(['openid', 'profile', 'email'])
        ->redirect();
});

Route::get('/auth/linkedin/callback', function () {
    $user = Socialite::driver('linkedin-openid')->user();
    dd($user);
    
    /*

});

The Log in with LinkedIn feature was deprecated in late '23 in favor of OpenID.
Unfortunately the documentation on LI's side is lacking. If you try to use scopes like r_emailaddress you'll get a "Bummer..." error which is pretty unhelpful. I hope this gist saves you some time. Just use the linkedin-openid provider instead of plain linkedin.

thank you! It helped me.
