Member post and video analytics return metricType as a string
What changed
Starting with the 202605 version, the Member Post Statistics and Member Video Statistics endpoints return metricType as a string instead of an object. LinkedIn's changelog gives only the month. The previous version, 202604, added post metrics such as POST_SAVE, LINK_CLICKS and FOLLOWER_GAINED_FROM_CONTENT.
What it means
Apps reading /memberCreatorPostAnalytics or /memberCreatorVideoAnalytics must parse metricType as a string when they upgrade to version 202605 or later.
