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.
