LinkedIn starting public API

Finally, after a long period of waiting it’s finally there, the LinkedIn API. And at first sight, not so bad. A nice authentication model with Oauth. Although it takes some time for the “handy developer around the corner” the find out what tokens and secret keys of Oauth are for.

The site for the development community is also really shaken up. A nice Forum with offcource LinkedIn integration for all your questions about the api with 2 dedicated mods. Beside the forum a good description of the api and a default blog for the moderators to communicate to the community.

After a short view of the api documentation I was wondering how the application registration process would take me to. So my first application was born after a few minutes. Didn’t complete all fields at once, first create the app. All pretty straight forward.

I will try to start this night for a good example class and share with you.

Keep in contact
