Question

I know that this is very basic and silly question, but as I am a starter and looking for example from morning to use gem ‘linkedin’, :git => “git://github.com/pengwynn/linkedin.git”.

Please provide me with example using this gem.

Because i see here https://github.com/pengwynn/linkedin/tree/master/lib/linked_in that the client class only have initialize not having new method also

 def initialize(ctoken=LinkedIn.token, csecret=LinkedIn.secret, options={})

what is option here what to pass there? this also is available in client class.

Answer 1

I did it by adding:

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

This would then allow me to access specific positions or fields without going into the raw xml, just using the methods in the gem. The gem works nicely once I get the format…
