I need a small back-end service that exposes a simple JSON URL returning the current number of followers on my LinkedIn company page, so I can plug it straight into the “Custom Counter” tool mentioned in their article “I need a JSON URL for my Custom Counter, what information should I provide my developer with?”. Core requirements • Source: LinkedIn (company profile) • Data point: number of followers only • Refresh logic: the endpoint must hit LinkedIn’s API every minute, cache the fresh value, and serve it instantly when the Custom Counter polls in real time (I understand LinkedIn itself may not always update instantly; that’s fine). Technical notes • Any stack is fine—Node, Python, PHP, or a lightweight serverless function—as long as the final deliverable is a publicly accessible HTTPS URL returning clean JSON, e.g. { "value": 1234 }. • Handle LinkedIn OAuth 2.0 authentication; I’ll provide the client ID/secret and company URN. • Code must include clear environment variables for secrets and a short README so I can redeploy if needed. Deliverables 1. Source code repository with clear instructions. 2. Deployed endpoint URL ready to drop into Custom Counter. 3. Brief README covering setup, env vars, LinkedIn app configuration, and rate-limit considerations. Acceptance criteria • A GET request to the URL returns valid JSON with the latest follower count. • The value updates when LinkedIn’s figure changes (checked with a manual API call). • No sensitive keys hard-coded in the repo. If anything is unclear, just reference the Custom Counter documentation and we’ll sort it out quickly.

✅⭐⭐⭐✅ I am ready to make your project a complete success! ✅⭐⭐⭐✅ I understand you need a lightweight back-end service that provides a JSON endpoint exposing the current follower count of your LinkedIn company page. The endpoint must handle LinkedIn OAuth 2.0 authentication, query the company API every minute, cache the latest value, and serve it instantly to your Custom Counter tool. Security, deployability, and clean JSON output are core requirements. I will implement a small serverless function or minimal Node/Python service with a scheduled LinkedIn API fetch every 60 seconds, store the latest follower count in memory or lightweight cache, and serve it via a public HTTPS GET endpoint. OAuth credentials will be stored in environment variables only. The service will return JSON like { "value": 1234 } and include error handling and rate-limit considerations. I will provide a clean repo with setup instructions and a short README so you can redeploy easily. You will receive the deployed HTTPS endpoint returning the current follower count, source code in a repository with environment variable instructions, LinkedIn OAuth setup guidance, and a README covering deployment, caching, and API considerations. Looking forward to work with you for your project. Thank you !
