LinkedIn API Python Client Examples

This directory contains examples showing how to use the LinkedIn API Python client library.

Steps to Run

  1. Activate virtual environment: poetry shell
  2. Navigate inside the /examples directory
  3. Create a .env file that contains the following variables that will be used when running the examples. Only some of these variables may actually be needed to run a particular script. Check the specific example comments on more specific requirements (e.g. required scopes for the access token).
ACCESS_TOKEN="your_valid_access_token"
CLIENT_ID="your_app_client_id"
CLIENT_SECRET="your_app_client_secret"
OAUTH2_REDIRECT_URL="your_app_oauth2_redirect_url"
  1. Execute the desired example script: python3 {script filename}. For example: python3 get_profile.py
