Python Tutorial: Build a Social Share Scheduler for LinkedIn with Django and Inngest

Описание: 🚀 Start using Inngest for free right now: https://innge.st/yt-CE-1

Share Posts on LinkedIn through Python and Django is a very easy process. Get some API keys and send an HTTP POST Request.

What's not so easy, is reliably scheduling those posts for a later date.

What's more, setting up a system that is ready to share not just on LinkedIn but any other social platform that has an API to do so.

So we need to solve two primary things:
‣ OAuth - Connecting LinkedIn users to our Django users
‣ Scheduling/Offloading tasks - Using just Django (thanks to Inngest), to run our tasks later

The OAuth process is this:

‣ We create an "App" on LinkedIn (or Facebook or X or Discord or whatever)
‣ We connect that "LinkedIn App" to our Python code via API Keys through Environment Variables
‣ Django & Django AllAuth are configured with those keys
‣ User logs in clicking the "Login with LinkedIn" button
‣ Django and LinkedIn talk to ensure all permissions are valid
‣ LinkedIn shares an Access Token to Django, Django stores it
‣ Through Django, our code can now post to LinkedIn via the LinkedIn API, our LinkedIn App, a User's Access Token, and an HTTP Request.

The first part of this course is dedicated to enabling Django to be connected to LinkedIn users to login and share posts. The second part of this course is dedicated to building a scheduling system via Inngest.
