LinkedIn API Authentication using Java

问题:

I am new to Linked In API for authentication. I went the API document provided by LinkedIn. It has samples for RUBY,PYTHON and PHP. But i am asked to achieve the same using Java. I need to read the profiles of a user in linked in. Can anyone suggest me any links or examples to do the same in Java.

You need to utilize some OAuth library. Try looking into Scribe.

Here's one of the LinkedIn examples in Java:

package org.scribe.examples;

import java.util.Scanner;

import org.scribe.builder.*;
import org.scribe.builder.api.*;
import org.scribe.model.*;
import org.scribe.oauth.*;

public class LinkedInExample
{
  private static final String PROTECTED_RESOURCE_URL = "http://api.linkedin.com/v1/people/~/connections:(id,last-name)";

  public static void main(String[] args)
  {
    OAuthService service = new ServiceBuilder()
                                .provider(LinkedInApi.class)
                                .apiKey("CiEgwWDkA5BFpNrc0RfGyVuSlOh4tig5kOTZ9q97qcXNrFl7zqk-Ts7DqRGaKDCV")
                                .apiSecret("dhho4dfoCmiQXrkw4yslork5XWLFnPSuMR-8gscPVjY4jqFFHPYWJKgpFl4uLTM6")
                                .build();
    Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);

    System.out.println("=== LinkedIn's OAuth Workflow ===");
    System.out.println();

    // Obtain the Request Token
    System.out.println("Fetching the Request Token...");
    Token requestToken = service.getRequestToken();
    System.out.println("Got the Request Token!");
    System.out.println();

    System.out.println("Now go and authorize Scribe here:");
    System.out.println(service.getAuthorizationUrl(requestToken));
    System.out.println("And paste the verifier here");
    System.out.print(">>");
    Verifier verifier = new Verifier(in.nextLine());
    System.out.println();

    // Trade the Request Token and Verfier for the Access Token
    System.out.println("Trading the Request Token for an Access Token...");
    Token accessToken = service.getAccessToken(requestToken, verifier);
    System.out.println("Got the Access Token!");
    System.out.println("(if your curious it looks like this: " + accessToken + " )");
    System.out.println();

    // Now let's go and ask for a protected resource!
    System.out.println("Now we're going to access a protected resource...");
    OAuthRequest request = new OAuthRequest(Verb.GET, PROTECTED_RESOURCE_URL);
    service.signRequest(accessToken, request);
    Response response = request.send();
    System.out.println("Got it! Lets see what we found...");
    System.out.println();
    System.out.println(response.getBody());

    System.out.println();
    System.out.println("Thats it man! Go and build something awesome with Scribe! :)");
  }

}

The above can be found in this part of the Scribe repository.

I hope this will work for you... i use spring framework

package yraunaj.controller;

import org.json.JSONException;
import org.json.JSONObject;
import org.springframework.http.HttpEntity;
import org.springframework.http.HttpHeaders;
import org.springframework.http.HttpMethod;
import org.springframework.http.ResponseEntity;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.GetMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestParam;
import org.springframework.web.client.RestTemplate;

@Controller
public class HomeController {

    //get client id and client Secret by creating a app in 
    //https://www.linkedin.com developers
    //and set your redirect url
    public String clientId="**********";
    public String clientSecret="***********";
    public String redirectUrl="http://localhost:8080/yraunaj/home"; 

    //create button on your page and hit this get request
    @GetMapping("/authorization")
    public String authorization() {
        String authorizationUri="https://www.linkedin.com/oauth/v2/authorization?response_type=code&client_id="+clientId+"&redirect_uri="+redirectUrl+"&state=asasasasasas&scope=r_basicprofile%20r_emailaddress";
        return "redirect:" + authorizationUri;
    }

    //after login in your linkedin account your app will hit this get request
    @GetMapping("/home")

    //now store your authorization code
    public String home(@RequestParam("code") String authorizationCode) throws JSONException {

        //to trade your authorization code for access token
        String accessTokenUri ="https://www.linkedin.com/oauth/v2/accessToken?grant_type=authorization_code&code="+authorizationCode+"&redirect_uri="+redirectUrl+"&client_id="+clientId+"&client_secret="+clientSecret+"";

        // linkedin api to get linkedidn profile detail
        String linedkinDetailUri = "https://api.linkedin.com/v1/people/~:(id,first-name,email-address,last-name,headline,picture-url,industry,summary)?format=json";

        //store your access token
        RestTemplate restTemplate = new RestTemplate();
        String accessTokenRequest = restTemplate.getForObject(accessTokenUri, String.class);
        JSONObject jsonObjOfAccessToken = new JSONObject(accessTokenRequest);
        String accessToken = jsonObjOfAccessToken.get("access_token").toString();

        //trade your access token
        HttpHeaders headers = new HttpHeaders();
        headers.add("Authorization", "Bearer " +accessToken);
        HttpEntity<String> entity = new HttpEntity<String>("parameters", headers);
        ResponseEntity<String> linkedinDetailRequest = restTemplate.exchange(linedkinDetailUri, HttpMethod.GET, entity, String.class);
        //store json data
        JSONObject jsonObjOfLinkedinDetail = new JSONObject(linkedinDetailRequest.getBody());
        //print json data
        System.out.println(jsonObjOfLinkedinDetail);

        return "home";
    }
}
