LinkedIN API in Asp.NET [duplicate]


Linkedin have a REST based API - http://developer.linkedin.com/docs/DOC-1258

You can create a HttpWebRequest, pointed at a REST endoint, and parse the response however you wish.

// Create the web request  HttpWebRequest request = WebRequest.Create("http://api.linkedin.com/v1/people/~/connections/") as HttpWebRequest;  // Get response  using (HttpWebResponse response = request.GetResponse() as HttpWebResponse)  {      // Get the response stream      StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream());      // Console application output      Console.WriteLine(reader.ReadToEnd());  }  


In my point of view it is better to use some existed c# wrapper. Look at LinkedIn Developer Toolkit.


I'm working on the LinkedInNET lib on github. The API coverage is not full but it's growing.

There is a NuGet package btw.
