Is there any LinkedIn Rest API available to search people with first and last name?
I am not able to find anything on their developer website.
I found this url from some other question: http://api.linkedin.com/v1/people-search:(people:(id))?first-name=bill&last-name=gates
But when I am trying to hit this url from APIGee REST console I am getting response as 403 permission denied. I am using oAuth with my LinkedIn account.
I am currently using free account on LinkedIn, is because of that.
Linked has closed its API some time ago. See a detailed announcement here.
You have to get Vetted API access from Linkedin in order to do People Search. For more information please look into this link
You can use LinkedIn Public Search Results Scraper API to achieve this.
Here is an example. Response for a profile found look like this:
{
"id": "jimmy-neutron-b914a91a5",
"name": "Jimmy Neutron",
"occupation": "Chief Executive Officer at NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration",
"location": "Houston, TX",
"last_job": "NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration",
"last_education": "Harvard University",
"thumbnail": "https://media-exp1.licdn.com/dms/image/C4D03AQE7YG6jwNNy2Q/profile-displayphoto-shrink_200_200/0/1584908070871?e=1620259200&v=beta&t=QJREJQLCsAIaDiQCOZJ6Nu6QoyUPWK8ytJAWU52icRU",
"link": "https://www.linkedin.com/in/jimmy-neutron-b914a91a5?trk=people-guest_people_search-card"
},
Now LinkedIn does not provide search people apis for the reason for data-stealing.
thanks

Using v2 of LinkedIn REST API I'm searching for a way to post an article to my company's LinkedIn page.
I've signed up here https://business.linkedin.com/marketing-solutions/marketing-partners/become-a-partner/marketing-developer-program and currently waiting to be approved.
I want to be able to create a blog post on my company website and when i press 'publish' i want to post that blog post, as an article, to my companys LinkedIn page.
The closest i've been to finding information regarding this topic is https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/linkedin/marketing/integrations/community-management/shares/articles-api
But this does not disclose any information for posting articles, only retrieving and deleting them
You can share articles to your LinkedIn company feed using content entities (contentlocation and thumbnail). You can also provide a title and description for the article you want to share.
An example of a share with article is as follows:
{
"owner": "urn:li:organization:12345",
"content": {
"contentEntities": [{
"entityLocation": "https://www.example.com/content.html",
"thumbnails": [{
"resolvedUrl": "https://www.example.com/image.jpg"
}]
}],
"description": "content description",
"title": "Test Company Share with Content"
},
"text": {
"text": "This is a share with an article"
}
}
Documentation for this API endpoint can be found here:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/linkedin/marketing/integrations/community-management/shares/share-api#share-content.
Hope it helps!
With the new UGCPost APIs, you should use the Create UGC Posts method (Documentation).
To use the method, after authentication, you will use:
POST https://api.linkedin.com/v2/ugcPosts
with the author as your organization, such as "urn:li:organization:5590506". Also, to do so, you will need the w_organization_social permission with one of the following roles:
ADMINISTRATOR
DIRECT_SPONSORED_CONTENT_POSTER
RECRUITING_POSTER
my goal is to show TripAdvisor score rank inside my app alongside other ranking system. Keep in mind that my application is a B2B app, not B2C.
What i can not understand even after reading the developer documentation is what kind of API should i eventually ask for.
The Content API is only for B2C purposes...but, apparently, it is the only one that send me in response the actual TripAdvisor rating (the only thing i actually want from all TripAdvisor information).
Has anyone implemented TripAdvisor in an OTA (online travel agency) application and can guide me on which APIs to request?
Thank you in advice
I have not implemented TripAdvisor ratings in a B2B system, but helped on a B2C project that used Tripadvisor data.
Your findings regarding Content API is correct, this is the only API where you find ratings.
Rating is TripAdvisor "selling point", so this data protected and can only be used by following their presentation terms. Check out how here: https://developer-tripadvisor.com/content-api/display-requirements/
You have 6 months implementation time and have to get Tripadvisor approval, or they cancel your API key. By using their API you commit not to store any data retrieved from their API.
Quick guide to use their API: https://developer-tripadvisor.com/content-api/documentation/
Call the locator_mapper to get possible location_id(s)
http://api.tripadvisor.com/api/partner/2.0/location_mapper/42.344978,-71.119030?key=[YOUR_KEY_HERE]-mapper&category=hotels&q=Beacon%20Townhouse%20Inn%201023
It returns a JSON with possible locations,
{
"data": [
{
"location_id": "89575",
Then call location with the id to get ratings: http://api.tripadvisor.com/api/partner/2.0/location/89575?key=[YOUR_KEY_HERE]
"review_rating_count": {
"1": "18",
"2": "22",
"3": "63",
"4": "269",
"5": "1408"
},
Use this data, together with the presentation and links back to tripadvisor to comply with their license.
I have an element on my website which shows facebook posts from a page and the amount of views/likes/comments. This stopped working all of a sudden and I have no idea why.
If I make the request with the graph api tester tool I get:
{
"error": {
"message": "An unknown error has occurred.",
"type": "OAuthException",
"code": 1,
"fbtrace_id": "CIHVxFhXIv/"
}
}
This is the request link I use with file_get_contents:
https://graph.facebook.com/v3.0/idofmypage/posts?fields=comments,full_picture,likes,message,picture,story,permalink_url,updated_time,from,insights.metric(post_impressions)&access_token=myaccesstoken
Did something change again with permissions or maybe a field is deprecated?
According to this fb new the Pages API and others have changed, and now you can only access the data if it's a page of your own.
Pages API: Until today, any app could use the Pages API to read posts or comments from any Page. This let developers create tools for Page owners to help them do things like schedule posts and reply to comments or messages. But it also let apps access more data than necessary. We want to make sure Page information is only available to apps providing useful services to our community. So starting today, all future access to the Pages API will need to be approved by Facebook.
Today I've started a project wich, in the begging, I need to recollect data and that's what I've found about it..
We're working on developing a program that will (hopefully) automatically swap out creative with new creative once a certain like threshold is met (i.e. if 100 people like the page, something new appears). Can we add coding so our system is able to tell how many "likes" are generated? I know that the number of likes are displayed, I'm just not sure if there is a way for a program to actually read how many likes there are.
I don't see if in any of the Facebook attributes in the developer's platform.
What you'll have to do is acquire an access token for your page and then query the facebook platform for the number of likes periodically (possibly with a cron job of sorts).
You can read more about how to get the page access token at this URL
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/authentication/
Facebook has given us a great took to help us mine all the data it holds - its called the Graph API Explorer and with it you can see what data will be returned when you query the API. When you query the API with only the page_id you'll get a response similar to this :
{
"id": "XXXXXXXXX",
"name": "My Awesome Page",
"picture": "foo.jpg",
"link": "https://www.facebook.com/pages/XXXXXXXX",
"likes": 345,
"category": "Product/service",
"website": "XXXXXXX",
"founded": "2011",
"description": "...",
}
For more information about how to use the Graph API you can see this link :
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/
Facebook does provide good documentation:
http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/page/
As you can see there, there is a field "likes" containing the number (count) of likes for a page.
Given a facebook url such as http://facebook.com/cnn, is there any way to get the ID of that page short of scraping it?
It is better (and legal) to do this with graph API. Just perform API request to https://graph.facebook.com/cnn and get id from the response.
Here is the response for cnn:
{
"id": "5550296508",
"name": "CNN",
"picture": "http://profile.ak.fbcdn.net/hprofile-ak-snc4/hs178.ash2/41813_5550296508_728_s.jpg",
"link": "http://www.facebook.com/cnn",
"category": "Company",
"website": "www.cnn.com\nwww.ireport.com\n",
"username": "cnn",
"company_overview": "TRIVIA FROM THE CNN TOUR...",
"products": "CNN US...",
"likes": 1689936
}
Facebook's own Graph API supports it. From the documentation:
The "ids" query parameter also accepts URLs. This is useful for
finding IDs of URLs in the Open Graph. For example:
https://graph.facebook.com/?ids=http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0117500/
As of Today(28th July 2015), There still exists an easy way to get page(or user's) id.
Browse to facebook page(or user) url. The syntax is https://www.facebook.com/[username or pagename]
Right click to view source and then search for string "pageID": in case of page. The numeric id next to searched string will be id.
In case of user, search for "uid":.
Been working with it today. So, for people who want to know how this works. Use this:
https://graph.facebook.com/<the_fb-address>?access_token=$accessToken
And remember: this is only for pages. Not user pages/friends' timelines etc.
Those will have to approve your Facebook App first before you can read their profiles.
