A LinkedIn Marketing API token that can post to your profile or company page.

LinkedIn has two posting paths: w_member_social (post as yourself) and w_organization_social (post as a Company Page). The second needs your App linked to a Page you admin. Tokens last 60 days and are refreshable.

LinkedIn's developer portal is a separate universe from the main site. You'll register an App that represents your integration — it holds your Client ID, Client Secret, and the scopes you've been approved for.
