The Videos API is a new offering from LinkedIn that features the ability to upload a captions file as well as thumbnail video functionality.

The request and response schema is simplified for uploading videos to the LinkedIn platform. These media uploads can then be referenced in a User-Generated Content (UGC) Post or various sponsored content and campaign ads. LinkedIn partners can create and upload rich and engaging personal or organization content for surfacing on select feeds within the LinkedIn ecosystem.

Note

The Videos API replaces the Assets API. See Migration Guide for more details.
