FAQ

After the download, you have to make one include require_once('vendor/autoload.php');. After that you have to import the classes with use statements.

Example:
If you use only one package a project is not needed. But if you use more then one package, without a project it is not possible to import the classes with use statements.

In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
Some PHP packages are not free to download and because of that hosted in private repositories. In this case some credentials are needed to access such packages. Please use the auth.json textarea to insert credentials, if a package is coming from a private repository. You can look here for more information.

  • Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
  • To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
  • Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
  • If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
  • Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.

Usage

Before carrying out calls to the API, your application should first be authenticated by the user to interact with LinkedIn, namely by having them grant you an authorisation code, which you can then exchange for a longer-lived access token (currently 60 days). The process recommended is as follows:

  1. Sign In with LinkedIn

    The library includes a method for generating sign in URLs to provide a "Sign In with LinkedIn" button/link to your users. To generate this URL, you first need to create a new instance of the LinkedIn class:

    You can then use this instance to generate a login URL, for your required scope. For example:

    You can then provide this URL to your users to sign in with LinkedIn:

  2. Exchange Authorisation Token for Access Token

    Step 1 will take user through the sign in and authorisation process on LinkedIn, and will then return your user to the callback URL you provided, with an authorisation token (assuming all went well). In you callback script you then need to exchange the short-lived authorisation token for a longer-lived access token (currently 60 days).

    The library provides a login handler that can be used inside your callback script as follows:

    This method will attempt to retrieve the auth code and CSRF token from the URL query string (via ), then internally calls the method to carry out the exchange. As well as returning the access token, the token is also saved as a property of the LinkedIn object (during the call) to prepare the object for subsequent requests. The access token will be stored in the object for the lifetime of that instance, so your application will need to store the access token if you wish to use it for later requests.

  3. Make requests to the API

    To make requests to the API you will again need an instance of PHPLI\LinkedIn, but this time with an access token also set during instantiation:

    Once you have the instance of LinkedIn, you can then use the method to carry out your request. The arguments of are as follows:

    The following gives an example of getting a few attributes of the logged in user from LinkedIn

Development

This library I developed as part of another project I was working on, but as I struggled myself to find a suitable library to interact with LinkedIn, I thought I'd extract it and package it for others to use. I do plan on maintaining it and improving it, I'd like to add some helper classes, such as a LinkedInUser class (if anyone has used the Facebook PHP SDK, I'd like to build this into something similar).

Please feel free to fork this project, submit pull requests for improvements etc.
