我可以使用他们的 API 显示我的 LinkedIn 个人资料信息吗？

Question

so, long story short, I'm working on my portfolio and I want to retrieve my LinkedIn recommendations from my profile, I googled but all I could find was about retrieving info from logged-in users using OAuth, is there a way to get a personal API key to retrieve my profile's info for everyone to see on my portfolio?

I don't think this is important but I'm using React.

I hope I made myself clear, I'd appreciate your help!

Well, when you do the 2-legged OAuth flow, you receive a response that includes an access_token that you can use to make api requests. Here is the documentation.

So in your react site, whenever you fail the request (which means your access token expired), you can just resend the request and get the new access token. This access token acts like an api key, and the 2-legged OAuth flow can be entirely automated without user intervention. These tokens have a 30 minute lifespan, so maybe you can just set an interval to fire every 30 minutes to refresh the token.
