Question

I have been trying to implement the new scope features that were recently added to the LinkedIn API. I am currently using the “simple-linkedinphp” library for as my LinkedIn oauth lib (http://code.google.com/p/simple-linkedinphp/ ).

Following the directions on the LinkedIn docs, I added the “scope” param to my request token URL as such:

  const _URL_REQUEST    = 'https://api.linkedin.com/uas/oauth/requestToken?scope=r_basicprofile+r_emailaddress';

However, this had little effect. I still get the same o-auth dialogue as before without any additional permissions for the e-mail address. Anyone get this working correctly in PHP yet? Any help here would be appreciated.

You need to create new Application API keys and use those to see the updated authentication screens.
