Dear LinkedIn Support team,
I work as a tech lead for an organization that is focusing on hiring and coaching leaders. We want to embark on a project that allows us to capture, store, and analyze (minimal but focused) user profile data from candidates we are interviewing. Information such as whether the individual was hired for the role or not, length of their tenure for the role, and what went well or not so well.
That said, I have looked through the API documentation and data-capture information provided by LinkedIn and it seems to me that the general APIs (e.g. Profile, Ads, etc.) are not really relevant here and the only way to approach this situation is through being a Talent Solutions Partner? Or perhaps there are other ways/routes to get this information via a License?
Could someone please shed light on how we might be able to partner up with LinkedIn to get this data? A call with a LinkedIn staff member who is familiar with this process would be very helpful as our use case may be niche.
Thanks a lot!

My team and I are undertaking a course on Ar/Vr, and we are trying to access profile information from Linkedin. I need access to full profile information (r_fullprofile), as the (r_basicprofile) is not sufficient for the project.
I understand that access to these API's are only through Partner Programs, but since I am a student, I cannot find the valid program that I should apply to.
How to proceed with the above situation, or any kind of access that I can request for the project?
i would consider using r_basic anyway. requesting such a partnership will take up to more then a month of waiting.
also you should look at the possiblities of the linkedin people V1 api.
http://api.linkedin.com/v1/people/~:(firstName,lastName,headline,positions:(company,title,summary,startDate,endDate,isCurrent),industry,location:(name,country:(code)),pictureUrl,publicProfileUrl,emailAddress)?format=json
this are some things you can get from the basic, i probably missed alot because i do not need them. do you need something specifc ?
I have sent couple of emails to support team for become a sabre customer, I have submitted the application to get the access at following link.

Pls let us know if I am missing anything?
Thanks
Access to the PNR (Passenger Name Records) requires a contract with Sabre. They only give this access to travel agents or companies writing services for travel. There is also associated fees. Also you need to be aware there are costs for every PNR you create. So its not as easy as just getting access to the PNR.
I know this is not the answer you want but its how it works.
If your just trying to build out a small booking engine I would suggest getting into Expedia's API toolkit. Much easier and allot less expensive to get into.
After some time being working with Restful APIs I would like to know a bit more about their internal functionality.
I would like a simple explanation about how the API`s get access to the data that they provide as responses to our requests.
There are APIs, for example weather API`s or sports APIs that are capable to provide responses with very recent data (such as sports results), I am wondering where or how they get that updated info almost as soon as it is available.
I have seen here on SO questions with answers pointing to API design tutorials, but not to this particular topic.
An API is usually simply a facade (or an interface if you prefer) to some information resource. The idea behind it is to "hide" any complexity from the user, to unify several services to a single access point or even to keep the details about the implementation of the actual service a secret.
This being said you probably understand now that there can't be one definitive answer to the question "where do APIs get their info from?". But some common answers are:
other APIs
some proprietary/in-house developed service/database
etc.
For sports APIs - probably they are being provided by some sports media, which has the results as soon as they get out, so they just enter them in their DB and immediately they become available through their API.
For weather forecasts - again as with the sports API they are probably provided by a company dealing with weather forecasts.
If it's easier for you you can think of the "read-only" APIs as rss feeds in a way.
I hope this clears the things a bit for you.
You could have a look at Stack Share to see what companies use for databases and whatnot. But there isn't a universal answer, every company uses whatever works for them.
This usually means that te company has its own database in which the data is stored. But they might also get their data from another company.
But a 'database' is not just SQL, maybe they use unstructured data or any of the other options to store data.
That's where the "whatever works" comes from. The company chooses a solution they go with which best fits their needs.
We are planning to develop a web based application for one of the Research Institute.
Overview of the application:
It is survey application
It requires login credentials for data-entry operator to open web-app for collecting participant’s information
It has fixed number of login credentials for data-entry operators (No user registration)
Google Maps APIs will be used in this application for locating and collecting participant’s address details (Places Search APIs and
Reverse Geo coding)
We have gone through the following links
https://developers.google.com/maps/pricing-and-plans/
https://developers.google.com/maps/terms
As this application will be used by Research Institute, We are not sure which plan (Standard/Premium) can be used for such type of application.
Also we are not able to connect with Sales team where we can evaluate the application for correct billing plan.
We need help on following items
Identifying correct plan/package for pricing and legal terms as the customer is a research institute
How can we connect to direct Googles' sales team for clarifying or identifying correct plan as there is no direct support available except for Premium plan?
After different searches (googling) and connects found below URL to connect with Google Support team for Map API queries
https://enterprise.google.com/intl/en_in/maps/contact-form/
Note: We got response from google support team after aprox. 7 days. So expect minimum 7 days for response.
Hope this would help to someone having similar query.
Thanks!
I am about to submit an app to the Apple AppStore built in Swift that uses Crashlytics to capture crash information. As users of Crashlytics know, some information about usage, duration, crashes, etc. is captured and stored on the Crashlytics servers. My application does not ask for, store or attempt to capture any user data.
My question is about the privacy policy for my application. Since I don't capture any user data, I want to state that in my privacy policy but I'm not sure that's factual since I am using Crashlytics. Any feedback on people that have used Crashlytics in their app and have an actual privacy policy?
Thanks

Quick answer: yes, you need that privacy policy. There are ways to get it done fast, too.
Longer answer:
Third parties (here Crashlytics)
When dealing with a third party service like this, often a quick look into their legal documents will help (for Crashlytics in this case as described in your question).
(...) At all times during the term of this Agreement, Developer shall
maintain a privacy policy (a) that is readily accessible to users from
its website or within its online service (as applicable), (b) that
fully and accurately discloses to its users what information is
collected about its users and (c) that states that such information is
disclosed to and processed by third party providers like Crashlytics
in the manner contemplated by the Services, including, without
limitation, disclosure of the use of technology to track users’
activity and otherwise collect information from users. (...)
And
Developer shall at all times comply with all applicable laws, rules
and regulations relating to data collection, privacy and security,
including, without limitation, the Children’s Online Privacy
Protection Act (“COPPA”). Crashlytics may, at its sole discretion from
time to time during the Term of this Agreement, audit Developer Data
to verify compliance.
Crashlytics is actually being unusually vocal about this topic.
The App Store
At the time of writing (and since iOS8) Apple requires privacy policies for 5 categories:
Kids Category, HomeKit, HealthKit, Apple Pay, and Keyboard Extentions. Also they require privacy policies for user registrations (more). I can't tell if any of the above for your app is true. Apple still says in their App Store Review Guidelines that you need to be compliant with all applicable laws. This brings us to the third and most important reason.
Privacy related regulations
All of the above is just there because of global privacy regulations, these companies would most likely not care otherwise. As soon as you work with User data you are mostly under an obligation to disclose these facts. It's personal data like names, addresses or the tracking of user behaviour. It's been written at length why analytics services need privacy policies. All of it is more important as soon as you share data and use third party services for it. Mostly the disclosure or some kind of consent is the condition for it's compliant usage.
If you are interested in reading more about the matter in the context of mobile apps I'd suggest any of these documents:
ICO UK
Ireland
USA/California
Canada
Australia
Hope this helps.
(For proper disclosure: I do some work for iubenda, a tool that helps creating privacy policies for apps and websites)
Vinny, I think it's not mandatory (I've seen apps using Crashlytics wihtout a privacy policy), but it's recommended to have transparency in the communications with your users.
Crashlytics already has a privacy policy so you can just use that policy and add a statement informing that you are not collecting any sensitive information from the user, such as email or phone number.
