For information on the available WHL and TAR.GZ files for supported environments, and how to install the appropriate file for your Python distribution, see Package Installation.

For information on the module to import, and how to configure the necessary connection properties in a connection string, see Establishing a Connection.

Other available connection properties can be used to configure other aspects of the connector capabilities.

Python Version Support

The CData Python Connector for LinkedIn can be installed and used in Python versions 3.9, 3.10, 3.11, 3.12 and 3.13.

LinkedIn Version Support

The connector mostly leverages LinkedIn's versioned APIs (currently 202507) and in some rare cases LinkedIn's unversioned APIs (/v2) for performing read and write operations.
