Question

hi I am trying to get user profile information like this once the authentication is successful,

class LinkController < ApplicationController
  def callback
    client = LinkedIn::Client.new("ddddd", "ffffff")

    if session[:atoken].nil?

      pin = params[:oauth_verifier]
      atoken, asecret = client.authorize_from_request(session[:rtoken], session[:rsecret], pin)
      session[:atoken] = atoken
      session[:asecret] = asecret
    else

      client.authorize_from_access(session[:atoken], session[:asecret])
    end

    @profile = client.profile
    @connections = client.connections

    puts client.profile(:fields => [:positions]).positions 
    puts client.connections
  end
end

the result i get is as follows:

#<LinkedIn::Profile:0x4a6fdd8>
#<LinkedIn::Profile:0x4a58f30>
#<LinkedIn::Profile:0x4a58af8>
#<LinkedIn::Profile:0x4a58708>
#<LinkedIn::Profile:0x4a583a8>

I really don’t understand what is this and if the information is correct than how to convery it to user readable,

I am new guy to ROR please help me to get this resolved.

Those are objects; use the inspect method to return a human-readable representation:

client.profile.inspect
