If you leave callback_url blank, you can get the oauth_verifier from the web browser. It is a five-digit integer.

The permissions parameter is optional. It can be a list or string. The [list of permissions](https://developer.linkedin.com/documents/authentication) is in the LinkedIn API documentation.

Once you click "Allow" be sure that there is a URL set up to handle getting finalized tokens and possibly adding them to your database to use their information at a later date. \n\n'
