Embedding LinkedIn company updates / feeds

Question

We have created a SharePoint 2010 web part where we display our company feed from https://www.linkedin.com/company/"Name of Company"/.

End-users need to login the first time (that is ok). But even though they login using their personal LinkedIn profile, they cannot see our company-feed. Why is that?

If the users are set as LinkedIn Designated Admins they can see the feed, otherwise they cannot.

We are using

<script type="text/javascript" src="//platform.linkedin.com/in.js">
api_key: "The key"
lang: da_DK
authorize: true
onLoad: onLinkedInLoad
</script>

I hope someone can share their knowledge.

This is why :'( https://developer.linkedin.com/blog/posts/2015/developer-program-changes

Starting on May 12, 2015, we will be limiting the open APIs to only support the following uses:

• Allowing members to represent their professional identity via their LinkedIn profile using our Profile API.

• Enabling members to post certifications directly to their LinkedIn profile with our Add to Profile tools.

• Enabling members to share professional content to their LinkedIn network from across the Web leveraging our Share API.

• Enabling companies to share professional content to LinkedIn with our Company API.

Only people who can admin the feed can read/update to the company feed. All others are excluded unless you manage to get yourself promoted to LinkedIN partner: https://developer.linkedin.com/partner-programs
