显示个人资料数据LinkedIn Api无需身份验证

Question

Quick questions, but can I display profile data from my own LinkedIn page on a website through the JavaScript SDK, without having the user login through the authentication layer ?

I don't want to display any other information other than from my profile, I was under the impression this is possible without a user logging in.

https://developer.linkedin.com/docs/js-sdk

I have connected correctly:

<script type="text/javascript" src="//platform.linkedin.com/in.js">
    api_key: xxxXXXxxxXXXxxx
    onLoad: linkedInLoaded
</script>

but then using the follow:

IN.API.Profile("me").fields([]);

Tells me I require authentication.

Hi @CHEWX I misunderstood your original question. Yes, you are correct, what you are trying to do is not possible. What are you looking for is the ability to make an unauthenticated call to pull any random profile (and for your use-case, you would always be pulling your own profile). However, LinkedIn does not have any unauthenticated APIs available.

The only thing that comes close to what you are looking for is a drop-in plugin which you can find here: https://developer.linkedin.com/plugins/member-profile

You could build some service that makes an authenticated REST call to pull your profile every so often, and then push the updated profile info to wherever you are saving it to display it on your website.
