I obtained the oauth token and oauth token secret for the LinkedIn API via Python. I’d like to make some REST calls via curl now and I tried the following ;
curl -v "http://api.linkedin.com/v1/people/~" -d "oauth_token=xxxxxxxxxx" -d "oauth_token_secret=xxxxxxxxxxxxx"
I’ve used the LinkedIn API in Python but wanted to use in curl. Am I missing something here ?
Any suggestions in this regard will be highly appreciated.
Thank you for your help.
You need to sign the requests using OAuth – usually the best way to do this is to use a library (like you mentioned, the python library works well). You can scoop the HTTP traffic to see what additional headers are being sent. The developer portal at http://developer.linkedin.com has an overview of the OAuth stuff, but it’d be pretty tough to get a working implementation for Curl because each signature you generate will be different (based on timestamp).
