Before linkdin api upgradation it works fine but now linkedIn apps not giving to set fullprofile access, thats why my application not working.
How can i set 'r_fullprofile' access?
Thanks in advance.
Starting from May 12, 2015, Linkedin has limited the open APIs.
Access to r_fullprofile requires that you apply for and are granted access to this information from LinkedIn.
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 of "we feel that they’re providing value to members, developers and LinkedIn," then some or all of the restricted endpoints will remain open for that app, and ONLY that app.
Member profile fields
The following selection of profile fields are available to all LinkedIn developers:
Basic Profile Fields
Location Fields
Position Fields
Member profile fields available to Apply with LinkedIn developers:
The following selection of profile fields are only available to applications that have applied and been approved for the Apply with LinkedIn use case:
Full Profile Fields
Contact Info Fields
Company Fields
Publication Fields
Patent Fields
Language Fields
Skill Fields
Certification Fields
Course Fields
Education Fields
Volunteer Fields
Check out this linkedin page for more details on which fields are available to all the developers and which are not.

Using linkedin api, can i search profiles for "open to work" then create targeted ads to those profiles?
I have tried consulting linkedin but they do not have a way to target those "open to work"
No, right now, it is not allowed by Linkedin. Right now, LinkedIn gives only the scope of r_liteprofile and r_emailaddress to Retrieve authenticated member's name, headline, photo, and member's primary email address.
To get the relevant candidate for the job, you may need to check open_to_work status, skills, projects, etc, for that you need the permission of r_fullprofile,
LinkedIn API has restricted such information as per their documentation:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/linkedin/shared/references/v2/profile/full-profile
As per their documentation, to access the information of skills, address, etc, your app needs to request r_fullprofile. But they have closed it now and no alternate is given. The more detail about the current permissions from LinkedIn can be seen here:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/linkedin/shared/authentication/getting-access
Right now there are currently in development mode. They are working on developing their APIs. What and when they will release such information is not available to document right now.
We're looking into integrating with LinkedIn so that we can feed our users with lists of job candidates, and then send our users back to LinkedIn in order to view relevant profiles. I'm not seeing any relevant API docs regarding this. Is this something that is possible to do via your API today or in the near future?

We lost access to some important user information with the upgrade to V2. We have read all the migration info and documentation posted. We would like to know where to apply for a permission to access the LinkedIn r_fullprofile?
PD: We have already sent an email to linkedin_support#cs.linkedin.com explaining some info about the company and how LinkedIn info is used:
"Our mobile app is a collection of mini social and professional networks that exist at physical locations. It is used in local venues, conferences and university classrooms. The ability gives our mutual users the ability to connect with people nearby with similar professional profiles. We use the vanity name to direct users to the public url page of other users. We strongly also encourage that our users signup using Linkedin and for those who don't have a Linkedin account to create one. We believe the integration add value to both of our companies."
I would like to use LinkedIn's Connections API to retrieve the 1st degree connections of users registering on my application. But, "The use of this API is restricted to those developers approved by LinkedIn and subject to applicable data restrictions in their agreements.". Has anyone experience in getting approved and what are the main points to consider before applying? And, how can we apply? Thanks!
To access any APIs you'll first need to setup a business page on LinkedIn (instructions here) for app verification then head to the developer page to create an app
To access their restricted APIs you'll want to reach out to their support team via the contact us page and request access; specifically looking for a Relationship Manager if you have an existing business relationship or a Business Development contact per the compliance docs:
The use of these APIs is restricted to developers approved by LinkedIn.
Reach out to your LinkedIn Relationship Manager or
Business Development contact as you will need to meet certain criteria and sign an API agreement with data restrictions
in order to use this integration.
The LinkedIn Developer documentation states that full profile information is only accessible when calling the "Apply with LinkedIn" API.
But in practice, when doing a simple test using my own LinkedIn profile I manage to access the Full Profile fields via a "Sign in with LinkedIn" call (I use the JavaScript SDK btw).
That's all very nice because it means that I can access more fields than I expected via the "Sign in with LinkedIn" API, but isn't that a security bug?
PS: If you're a LinkedIn developer, there is a typo error on the Basic Profile fields page: field specialities should be spelled specialties.
you are accessing the data for your own profile that's y u can access all fields .. if you try to access any one else's full profile then you can't retrieve data from those profile . data retrieval of those profiles are limited to basic profile fields only
#JustinKominar's comment is the answer:
There is a blog post (https://developer.linkedin.com/blog/posts/2015/developer-program-changes) that explains that the recently announced changes to LinkedIn's API program will take effect on May 12th, 2015. You still have access because we are still in the transition period between the announcement and formal change. Presently, all previously documented capabilities are still available to you.
