Derive LinkedIn profile URL from API user token?

linkedin-api

Solution

Since you are already using the API to pull the `id` field, why not just directly pull the `public-profile-url` as well?

On the hexadecimal nature of the member id, those strings are uniquely generated on a per application basis, so there is no way to map them directly to the corresponding id number used on LinkedIn.com.

Problem

The LinkedIn API refers to users by alphanumeric member token instead of numeric ids. Is it possible to derive a linkedin profile url (public OR private) from the user token? (Info: https://developer.linkedin.com/comment/4173#comment-4173)
