[Python] LinkedIn API: Consistent 500 Internal Server Errors When Retrieving Organizational...

I am encountering Internal Server Error (HTTP status code 500) when attempting to retrieve organizational entity statistics and followers using the LinkedIn API. The organization URN is 12668855. Below are the details of the issue:

Endpoints:

1. https://api.linkedin.com/rest/organ...ntity&organizationalEntity={organization_URN}
2. https://api.linkedin.com/rest/organ...ntity&organizationalEntity={organization_URN}

Error Response:

{ "message": "Internal Server Error", "status": 500 }

Expected Outcome: I expect to receive valid statistical and follwers data for the specified organizational entity

Additional Information: I have already contacted LinkedIn support, and they suggested posting this issue on Stack Overflow for further assistance.

Python code I am using :

import os

import requests

from dotenv import load_dotenv

load_dotenv()

ACCESS_TOKEN = os.getenv('ACCESS_TOKEN')

ORGANIZATION_ID = os.getenv('ORGANIZATION_ID')

headers = {
'Authorization': f'Bearer {ACCESS_TOKEN}',
'LinkedIn-Version': '202405',
'X-Restli-Protocol-Version':'2.0.0'
}

url_1 = f'https://api.linkedin.com/rest/organizationalEntityShareStatistics?q=organizationalEntity&organizationalEntity={ORGANIZATION_ID}'

url_2 =f"https://api.linkedin.com/rest/organizationalEntityFollowerStatistics?q=organizationalEntity&organizationalEntity={ORGANIZATION_ID}"

shares_response = requests.get(url=url_1, headers=headers)

shares_data = shares_response.json()

print(shares_data)

followers_response = requests.get(url=url_2,headers=headers)

follwers_data = followers_response.json()

print(follwers_data)


**Output I am getting :**

{'message': 'Internal Server Error', 'status': 500}

{'message': 'Internal Server Error', 'status': 500}


Expected Outcome :

Expected to receive valid statistical data and followers data for the specified organizational entity
