Generate Access Token

If you don't have a access token I recommend to use the requests-oauthlib

Examples

See examples here

You need to generate temporary access token for basic tests:

• Acces the https://developer.linkedin.com/rest-console
• On then Authentication menu select OAuth2
• After you need to login and authorization to access some information from your LinkedIn profile
• Send anywhere request URL, for example https://api.linkedin.com/v1/people/~?format=json, and copy field access token

Run python examples/basic.py and insert the access token

Created an instance

from PyLinkedinAPI.PyLinkedinAPI import PyLinkedinAPI

access_token = 'AQVaE34Qblm6uIhh3wVLXuhQPSI...'

linkedin = PyLinkedinAPI(access_token)
