It is possible to retrieve full profile from LinkedIn?

Michael_Sypes

I'm looking for guidance to pull in a user's full profile, including past jobs and education, from LinkedIn. The synchronize feature only captures a small subset of information. Would/Could I use my OneAll's credentials to directly access LI's API to do such a thing?

Hi Michael,

to access the complete user profile data, you need to get the approval from LinkedIn.

We have explained it more in detail here:
http://blog.oneall.com/405/linkedin-api-changes-may-12-2015/

Without the explicit permission from LinkedIn you can no longer retrieve data like
for example a user’s job skills, certifications, patents and other information.

Thank you for the prompt response. I've read that in depth, but unfortunately, the information is out-of-date, and the links are no longer accurate. This link might work; at least, I'm trying it: https://www.linkedin.com/help/linkedin/ask/API-DVR

I saw in this link https://developer.linkedin.com/docs/fields/basic-profile that is possible acess a lot of basic profile from linkedin. But I didn't find any documentation about how to set it to register a new user with these information.

Can you help me?

Hi, Claude

Thank you very much for your attention.

But unfortunately I do not have enough knowledge to set up, although I have tried.

I copied the code you indicated for the function.php file, but I know I would need to change something in the code.

If you can give me a direction, I would appreciate it.

Regards
