Solution

Using below javascript code I posted linkedin 

IN.API.Raw("/people/~/current-status") // Update (PUT) the status
  .method("PUT")
  .body(JSON.stringify("Test Message"))
  .result( function(result) { document.getElementById("statusDiv").innerHTML = "Status   updated"; } )
  .error(  function(error)  { /* do nothing */ } );
