Manuel,

I'm having trouble getting all of the data I'm requesting from LinkedIn calls.

My application does have r_emailaddress and r_fullprofile enabled and I've added those to the scope field in login_with_linkedin.php. I authorize my app and it successfully authenticates me, but the output of print_r($user, 1) on line 72 of the demonstration app does not return the complete profile. I get my first name, title, last name, and siteStandardProfileRequest which just contains a URL to my profile.

I am new to OAuth in general, so it might be something obvious that I am missing...

Any assistance would be appreciated!

As far as I know the email address must be retrieved with a different API call. Call this URL separately:

api.linkedin.com/v1/people/~:(email-address)

You are correct, sir! I am just learning how to use this for the first time and it wasn't immediately clear what was going on (I was lacking contextual awareness of what/how OAuth works procedurally).

Your work is fantastic for those who know how OAuth works, but lacking any foundational understanding has proven tricky.

In the login_with_linkedin.php, I added the :(location,id,email-address) fields to CallAPI() and have the expected results returned. Whew!

Thanks for the reply!
