I would like to do some analytics on my Linkedin account.
I would like to get a list of my messages and my contacts.
Is there an API for this, or is there any other way to get them - export or something....
Contacts API provides a complete list of the authenticated user's address book on LinkedInhere
Not sure if LinkedIn allow the enumeration of ones messages. However, sending, deleting, archiving messages are possible.
LinkedIn Messages API:

LinkedIn Contacts API:

GET https://api.linkedin.com/v1/contacts

We are a platform that facilitates companies to hire analytics talent on demand. We only allow users to login to our platform with their Linkedin IDs so that we can validate their profile details and score them. Currently, the Linkedin API doesnot give us even the Linkedin-id of the user to help us manually check the profile. How can we correct this?
Ask for the r_liteprofile and r_emailaddress scopes as part of the OAuth flow. Then make GET calls to https://api.linkedin.com/v2/me and https://api.linkedin.com/v2/emailAddress?q=members&projection=(elements*(handle~))
to gather this information. See the documentation for more details.
However, please read LinkedIn's API Terms of Use to ensure your application is an acceptable use case. Also, the profile data you can receive is quite limits, so it may not give you the fields you want.
I am creating a LinkedIn plugin that helps users to track there messages. For this, I need users messages.
Is there any feature in Javascript or REST API to get conversation list and messages in LinkedIn?
linkedin is working on this concept:

Utilize Messages API to retrieve and send messages to your connections and more! API is coming soon.
I have a database of LinkedIn IDs, however I need to find their LinkedIn Usernames. I would welcome if you can advise how can I do that.
That information is not available via any LinkedIn API calls. The member ID that you retrieve should be sufficient for all your needs.
I had created app that used to get authenticated by users for their contacts, sending messages to those contacts etc. When linked in changed their API access system in May, suddenly our application stopped working.
In the doc there is nothing clearly written about these kind of permissions now or with what kind of membership program I can get access to these again. There is one section where contacts info can be fetched when we apply for partnership program with Apply with LinkedIn button. But I am not sure its of my use.
Access to r_contactinfo permission:
As per the Linkedin website,
The r_contactinfo member permission will now be associated exclusively
with Apply with LinkedIn. As a result, you will only be able to
request this member permission if your application has been approved
by LinkedIn for this particular use.
What you need to do:
Apply for partner status with LinkedIn (Apply with Linkedin), explaining what your integration is and how it works. If it meets their criteria, then you will get access to the above endpoint.

I'm building an application that gives users the option to send out an email notification to their friends.
The options I would like to give them for this are to:
manually write down which emails they would like to send to
choose contacts from a list of ones already in the database for that user
choose all contacts from facebook, twitter, digg, gmail, or msn to send the email to
Is there any way I can retrieve all of the email addresses for a certain contact from these different websites?
For example, if I chose the option to send out email notification and I wanted to send it to all of my friends on my facebook account, how could I do this? (Remembering that the user is interacting with a completely separate website and should not have to go onto facebook to send this emails)
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance for your help!

Google contacts api: http://code.google.com/apis/contacts/
Windows Live contacts api: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb463989.aspx
Facebook's apis are here: http://wiki.developers.facebook.com/index.php/API
For each websites (twitter, facebook, etc.) use their API for accessing contacts.
Russau was faster with the Google contacts API. For sending Gmail messges there is also a third-party API here. Actually I thought that also Google released one, but I couldn't find it at the moment.
\Edit:
This might be relevant too.
