Not getting company names from LinkedIn people API - linkedin

Question

I recently noticed that, when I access some users via the peopla API, I do not get the company names in their positions.
E.g.
I ask: /v1/people/~:(id,first-name,last-name,positions:(title,summary,start-date,end-date,company:(id,name)))
I get:
{
"firstName": "xxxxx",
"id": "WzdY2z96Tw",
"lastName": "xxxx",
"positions": {
"_total": 12,
"values": [
{
"company": {},
"startDate": {
"month": 4,
"year": 2015
}
},
{
"company": {"id": 1970},
"endDate": {
"month": 11,
"year": 2014
},
"startDate": {
"month": 7,
"year": 2008
}
},
{
"company": {},
"endDate": {
"month": 7,
"year": 2008
},
"startDate": {
"month": 4,
"year": 2006
}
},
{
"company": {"id": 1159270},
"endDate": {
"month": 1,
"year": 2006
},
"startDate": {
"month": 5,
"year": 2004
}
},
{
"company": {"id": 106859},
"endDate": {
"month": 5,
"year": 2004
},
"startDate": {
"month": 1,
"year": 2003
}
},
{
"company": {"id": 106859},
"endDate": {
"month": 1,
"year": 2003
},
"startDate": {
"month": 5,
"year": 2001
}
},
{
"company": {},
"endDate": {
"month": 5,
"year": 2001
},
"startDate": {
"month": 1,
"year": 1999
}
},
{
"company": {},
"endDate": {"year": 1998},
"startDate": {"year": 1995}
},
{
"company": {},
"endDate": {"year": 1995},
"startDate": {"year": 1994}
},
{
"company": {},
"endDate": {"year": 1994},
"startDate": {"year": 1993}
},
{
"company": {},
"endDate": {"year": 1993},
"startDate": {"year": 1991}
},
{
"company": {},
"endDate": {"year": 1991},
"startDate": {"year": 1988}
}
]
}
}
(I changed the name to x'es for privacy reasons)
So, as you can see, I don't get the company names back.
I do get the company names back for other users.
What can I do?

Answer 1

/v1/people/~:(id,first-name,last-name,positions) enough for retrieving company names.
