        return [PFLinkedInUtils application:application openURL:url sourceApplication:sourceApplication annotation:annotation];

    }

    return YES;

}

```

### Example

```objectivec

[Parse initializeWithConfiguration:

     [ParseClientConfiguration configurationWithBlock:

      ^(id  _Nonnull configuration) {

          configuration.applicationId = @"PARSE_APP_ID";

          configuration.clientKey = @"PARSE_CLIENT_KEY";

          configuration.server = @"PARSE_SERVER_URL";

      }]];

[PFLinkedInUtils initializeWithRedirectURL:@"LINKEDIN_REDIRECT_URL"

                                      clientId:@"LINKEDIN_CLIENT_ID"

                                  clientSecret:@"LINKEDIN_CLIENT_SECRET"

                                         state:@"LINKEDIN_STATE"

                      presentingViewController:nil];

[PFLinkedInUtils logInWithBlock:^(PFUser *user, NSError *error) {

    NSLog(@"User: %@, Error: %@", user, error);

    

    [PFLinkedInUtils.linkedInHttpClient GET:@"LINKEDIN_API_URL" parameters:nil success:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, id responseObject) {

    NSLog(@"Response JSON: %@", responseObject);
