Steps

  1. Include the required LinkedIn-Version header (format YYYYMM) on every versioned Marketing API request alongside the OAuth2 bearer token.
  2. Read the rate-limit response headers (e.g. remaining-call-count style headers) returned on each response to track quota before hitting a 429.
  3. Check your app's Developer Portal Analytics tab for the real numeric per-endpoint daily limits, since LinkedIn does not publish fixed limits in its docs.
  4. On a 429 response, back off until the next daily reset (limits reset at midnight UTC) rather than retrying immediately.
  5. Spread batch or reporting calls across the day instead of bursting near the reset boundary.
