I am not a developer so bear with me - question relates to possibility of using Google My Business API as an aggregation tool. we're a member organisation over 200 members - each get a page on our website - as soon as they done they're pretty much always out of date so we wonder about using the API (with permission from each business via a key/or code provided by them in their Business Listing instead. This would be in a Wordpress site. Does anyone know if this is doable? I realise the API if usually for hubbing multiple locations from a simple company who does have authority to access each listing ..so our idea would be different to this.
Would highly appreciate help on this! For my business linked in page I am looking to create an automation where my facebook multiple image posts automatically get sent to linkedin and creates image posts for me. We need one piece of information so all of the photos from the post get transfered over to linkedin.
We need help on how to use your REST API endpoint. The goal is to be able to upload multiple images to the page from facebook. Can can someone help with this please?
I am trying to build a service to get profile data(Education, Experience, Skills etc.) of a LinkedIn user using profile URL.
I do not want to use any LinkedIn developer APIs.
One of the solution I have come across is using Selenium and BeautifulSoup library where I need to login and parse the html page but LinkedIn can block my IP in such cases.
I want to scale my service to thousands of hits in a month.
What could be the other alternatives to achieve this? Is it possible to do this without login?
I try to access the profile's Job title, first name, last name, and company using LinkedIn API and PHP.
I have applied for LinkedIn Marketing Program on https://developer.linkedin.com/partner-programs/apply then I found some posts on StackOverflow saying that it could take several months to get approved :(
Is it possible to achieve what I'm trying to do? (Can I get access to LinkedIn r_liteprofile? is it limited in the number of requests or paid? )
Do I need r_liteprofile to access LinkedIn Jobtitle or I need to request more permission access?
Thank you very much for you help.
Kind regards
Lamine
Your best option is through google or bing, or any web search engines, which can kind of getting the "Headline", but not 100% accuracy.
site:linkedin.com {query}
By default, people put their Job Title as Headline.
Personally, I used Google Custom Search JSON API.
Good luck!
Years ago, someone asked on Stack Overflow if it were possible to retrieve a list of all employees who work at a company. I can do this through the LinkedIn UI, but I cannot seem to find any mechanism for this using the v2 API. The SO response mentions this used to be possible on the v1 API, but you had to request access through LinkedIn's "Vetted API Access Program." Unfortunately, the link on this response is now obsolete and does not send users to any such program.
How could I apply for this program nowadays? This is a specific situation to me and my company, so I would very much like to discuss this with someone at LinkedIn if some form of this Vetted API Access Program still exists. I do not wish to disclose the details of this request to the open internet.
I have confirmed through contacts inside LinkedIn that this API functionality has been removed. No further information has been provided, and LinkedIn tech support refuses to comment any more on this issue. Furthermore, no LinkedIn engineers will comment on this thread here.
This is bizarre since any regular user can do this functionality through the web front-end, but for some reason LinkedIn believes this would be a violation of privacy/security if we could do this programmatically.
Therefore, the only way to obtain this data would be through screen scraping. I wish I had better news, and I wish that LinkedIn would provide some reasoning for their changes, but alas this is where we are.
I just posted a very similar question because I ran into the same problem as you.
The application forms for Linkedin's current partner programs seem to be located here, however I can't tell you which one of those programs comes with the necessary API access rights and I am in general not sure if this API request is still allowed.
Edit: The Linkedin Help page states that applications for partner programs are currently unavailable?
In general, you can get a list of employees of a company if you scrape Linkedin profiles exhaustively, or if you have an exhaustive dataset of Linkedin profiles.
Each Linkedin profile contains a list of experiences that links to the company profile URL.
Thereafter, you will filter the dataset into profiles currently working at X company to get a list of employees currently working in a company. The same technique can also be used to retrieve a list of past employees.
And that is what we did. We scraped all public Linkedin profiles based in the US and made an alternative API known as Proxycurl Employee Listing API to Linkedin API to provide employee listing functionality.
Proxycurl's Employee Listing API will never be as exhaustive as Linkedin's dataset because not all profiles are made public, but most are. But will suffice to meet your needs.
