I’m working on a web app in Java that wants to read the app’s user’s Linkedin profile. Linkedin API uses oAuth and requires a process of getting the verification code via a request URL, also with a pop window to confirm user’s approve.

However, my webapp is to be browsed in a restricted environment (ARM cpu + Linux), thus I want to do these verified stuff in the background, that is, stores the user’s Linkedin account and passwd ahead, and get the access token by program, not done manually by user. Does oauth support such feature?

Thanks!

    The LinkedIn API Terms of Service strictly prohibit using the APIs in this manner, specifically 1.5(i) & 1.5(f).

    In short, the user must be shown the API login screen, which as you mention is hosted on LinkedIn.com, and allows them to specify the lifespan of the approval.
