How to use the associated API with python

Question

I tried so many methods, but nobody works. Help me establish a connection to linkedin using python. I have all the tokens. I have python 2.7.5. Send a sample base code that establishes a connection and gets the username.

Below I made a symbol for a symbol, as the example said, but it does not work.

https://github.com/ozgur/python-linkedin <--- Here I got the api and I copied it for sure. See below:

CONSUMER_KEY = '9puxXXXXXXXX' # This is api_key CONSUMER_SECRET = 'brtXoXEXXXXXXXX' # This is secret_key USER_TOKEN = '27138ae8-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX' # This is oauth_token USER_SECRET = 'ca103e23XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX' # This is oauth_secret from linkedin import linkedin # Define CONSUMER_KEY, CONSUMER_SECRET, # USER_TOKEN, and USER_SECRET from the credentials # provided in your LinkedIn application # Instantiate the developer authentication class authentication = linkedin.LinkedInDeveloperAuthentication(CONSUMER_KEY, CONSUMER_SECRET, USER_TOKEN, USER_SECRET, RETURN_URL, linkedin.PERMISSIONS.enums.values()) # Pass it in to the app... application = linkedin.LinkedInApplication(authentication) # Use the app.... application.get_profile() 

I get this error:

 Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:/Documents and Settings/visolank/Desktop/Python/programs/linkedinapi.py", line 8, in <module> from linkedin import linkedin File "C:/Documents and Settings/visolank/Desktop/Python/programs\linkedin\linkedin.py", line 2, in <module> from requests_oauthlib import OAuth1 File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\requests_oauthlib\__init__.py", line 1, in <module> from .core import OAuth1 File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\requests_oauthlib\core.py", line 4, in <module> from oauthlib.oauth1 import (Client, SIGNATURE_HMAC, SIGNATURE_TYPE_AUTH_HEADER) File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\requests_oauthlib\oauthlib\oauth1\__init__.py", line 12, in <module> from .rfc5849 import Client File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\requests_oauthlib\oauthlib\oauth1\rfc5849\__init__.py", line 26, in <module> from oauthlib.common import Request, urlencode, generate_nonce ImportError: No module named oauthlib.common

Got it. For future use, you need to download oauthlib here https://github.com/idan/oauthlib

here is the full functional code:

 CONSUMER_KEY = '9pux1XcwXXXXXXXXXX' # This is api_key CONSUMER_SECRET = 'brtXoXEXXXXXXXXXXXXX' # This is secret_key USER_TOKEN = '27138ae8-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXb' # This is oauth_token USER_SECRET = 'ca103e23-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX7bba512625e' # This is oauth_secret RETURN_URL = 'http://localhost:8000' from linkedin import linkedin from oauthlib import * # Define CONSUMER_KEY, CONSUMER_SECRET, # USER_TOKEN, and USER_SECRET from the credentials # provided in your LinkedIn application # Instantiate the developer authentication class authentication = linkedin.LinkedInDeveloperAuthentication(CONSUMER_KEY, CONSUMER_SECRET, USER_TOKEN, USER_SECRET, RETURN_URL, linkedin.PERMISSIONS.enums.values()) # Pass it in to the app... application = linkedin.LinkedInApplication(authentication) # Use the app.... g = application.get_profile() print g
