LinkedIn API - get information about my ALL Connec

问题:

I have used Facebook API but I am new to Linkedin api.

I need some help on how to get information (name, birthday, etc) about my ALL Connections, and I need help with both the token and the info-related API calls.

As for the token -- in Facebook there is the Facebook Console to generate tokens at runtime and test our API calls... Does LinkedIn have something similar?

Update: I'm able to get list of connections using:

http://api.linkedin.com/v1/people/~/connections?modified=new

... but how can I also get birthdates (if shared publicly)? I've attempted:

http://api.linkedin.com/v1/people/~/connections:(headline,first-name,last-name,date-of-birth)

...however, that shows me the first and last name but NOT the date of birth.

You can use the rest console here: http://developer.linkedin.com/rest-console

There is a template method you can use called "Get My Connections".

I hope this helps.

Update: LinkedIn has restricted their open API access, and this no longer works.

https://apigee.com/console/linkedin Select OAuth2, click connect, then allow LinkedIn to privede apigee to your LI profile. Then in the left collumn, select Get My Connections. apigee prepares most of params, except format (xml/json), which you can add yourself.

Looks like now no such API available(Looks like depricated by Linkedin). Please let me know if i am wrong and suggest other ways to achieve user's connections.

I am getting this in response

{
  "errorCode": 0,
  "message": "Access to connections denied",
  "requestId": "6Sxxxxxxx",
  "status": 403,
  "timestamp": 14xxxxxxxxx
}

I think what you are looking for, is the Linkedin Connections API. You can look at the documentation provided here -> http://developer.linkedin.com/documents/connections-api

There are also various other APIs for accessing profile, groups, companies, and jobs.

It returns an XML document so, you should be able to generate tokens and test your API calls without any problem.

These APIs are no longer available
