README for Python Implementation of LinkedIn API

LinkedIn API for Python

=======================

  This package provides a pure python interface for the LinkedIn Connection and Profile APIs.

  Author: `Ozgur Vatansever `

  LinkedIn (http://developer.linkedin.com) provides a service that let people bring their LinkedIn profiles

  and networks with them to your site or application via their OAuth based API. This library provides a simple

  architecture over a complicated LinkedIn OAuth based API to make it for python programmers easy to use.

INSTALLATION

============

  You have 2 options:

  1) Getting the code from repository:

     - svn co http...

  2) Getting the code from Google Code website of python-linkedin

     - wget bla bla..

  Enter the directory you've just downloaded, and execute the following command on shell to install the package:

  - sudo python setup.py install

  

KEYS

====

  In order to use it you have an 'application key' and 'application secret'.

  For debugging I am providing you those. You can use the following as api key and secret:

  KEY = wFNJekVpDCJtRPFX812pQsJee-gt0zO4X5XmG6wcfSOSlLocxodAXNMbl0_hw3Vl

  SECRET = daJDa6_8UcnGMw1yuq9TjoO_PMKukXMo8vEMo7Qv5J-G3SPgrAV0FqFCd0TNjQyG

QUICK USAGE FROM INTERPRETER

============================

  For testing the library using an interpreter, use the quick helper.

  

  from linkedin import helper

  

  api = helper.quick_api(KEY, SECRET)

  

  This will print a url to the screen. Go into this URL using a browser, after you login, the method will return with an api object you can now use.

  

  api.get_profile() etc...

  

BASIC USAGE

===========

  You can use "http://localhost" as the return url. Return URL is a url where LinkedIn redirects the user after he/she grants access to

  your application.

  """

  from linkedin import linkedin

  RETURN_URL = "http://localhost" 

  api = linkedin.LinkedIn(KEY, SECRET, RETURN_URL)

  result = api.request_token() # result can be True or False

  # if True, you can open your browser and copy the authorization url of LinkedIn.

  api.get_authorize_url() # open this url on your browser

  

  # When you grants access to the application, you will be redirected to the return url with the following query strings appended to your RETURN_URL:

  http://localhost/?oauth_token=0b27806e-feec-41d4-aac5-619ba43770f1&oauth_verifier=04874

  auth_verifier = 04874

  # After you get the verifier, you call the accessToken() method to get the access token.

  result = api.access_token("04874") # result can be True or False

  # if True, now you can fetch the methods that LinkedIn provides. 

 

  # To fetch your profile, simply call GetProfile method.

  profile = api.get_profile()

  profile.id # is your id (may be null)

  # if you know your public url, call the method above with your public url for more information

  profile = api.get_profile(member_id = None, url = "http://www.linkedin.com/in/ozgurv")

  profile.id # is your id

  profile.first_name

  profile.last_name

  profile.picture_url

  ... 

  ...

  # To fetch your connections, simply call 

  connections = api.get_connections() # connections is a list of profiles
