Is LinkedIn exposes APIs to fetch someone's profile info from LinkedIn using email or name?
You will have to be logged in to view this, but here is the People Search API link

We are attempting to retrieve information such as the LinkedIn user's education, work history, experience, and other information. In our system, we only have the basic profile URLs of those LinkedIn users. Will we be able to view their profile and retrieve their profile information if we only have the Basic profile URL and do not require users to authenticate to our LinkedIn app?
We are using previous version v1 of linkedin. We are getting firstname, last name, email, heading, profile url,profile image etc. Now linkedin created v2 and giving access liteprofile only. And we are getting firstname, lastname ,email, profile image only. not able to get profile url.
We are using this authentication in survey site I need profileurl as well in authentication that possible with basic profile.
In need profile URL in this API. I have already applied for developer program but rejected.I can get this url by paid services if any from linkedin please confirm?
GET https://api.linkedin.com/v2/me
Linked In Login Integration response
If you're a programmer, you don't need to buy any paid services. You can use Google Custom Search JSON API to get LinkedIn Profile URL, even Job Title ;-)
site:linkedin.com {query}
Good luck!
I am new to this feature of linkedin.How we can post the status on the company profile using the api provided by linkedin?
You could use the LinkedIn's Company Share API http://developer.linkedin.com/creating-company-shares
You should use some library that handle the OAuth 2.0 authentication-authorization or take a look at http://developer.linkedin.com/documents/code-samples (if are able to understand code).
The process authorization process is simple - it redirects the user (your company profile) to LinkedIn Signin page where he authorize your application and give you Access Token.
http://developer.linkedin.com/documents/authentication
Your Application with help of the Access Token could Share on company's page (linkedin profile)
The LinkedIn documentation contains a lot of information regarding OAuth 2.0 and Share details
Update: have found the usefull link. http://marketing.linkedin.com/company-pages/?scr=s-bl
I have a company profile in linkedin. I have some updates in the profile. Now i need to fetch the records from linked and display on my website. It should be visible to the anonymous user also.
Did anyone implement such kind of code. Using only javascript or REST service. Please suggest some links. I have searched but no use.
Unfortunately, the LinkedIn API terms of service do not allow you to show data to un-authenticated users. Your options are to:
Authenticate the user and pull your profile data using their credentials, or
Use a pre-built plugin like the Member Profile plugin to display data to unauthenticated users.
I'm using the Facebook and LinkedIn API to allow users of my website to link their social network account with their website account, and I want to give them an opportunity to invite their friends from social networks to my site.
On the Refer-A-Friend page, I want to include Invite via Facebook and LinkedIn buttons which will send a request to those friends from that service.
In Facebook API I can do that with fb:request-form FBML tag.
The only possibility, I saw in LinkedIn Invitation API - is to add website users to your linkedin network but not the opposite.
So, Is there a way for users of my website to invite their LinkedIn friends?
Yes, LinkedIn doesn't provide connection's email but still you invite them through API but the message will go into linkedIn site message box.
Try with linkedIn API how to import connection and send them message. As i have already worked on that way and it's working for me.
Linkedin doesn't provide connection's email address , therefor you cannot invite friend via linkedin . I guess you had already google a lot about it and found that term.
My statement is based on following reference .
