How to use linkedin API with python

Question

I tried so many methods, but none seem to work. Help me make a connection with linkedin using python. I have all the tokens. I have python 2.7.5. Please post a sample of basic code that establishes a connection and gets a user's name. Below, I have done character for character like the example said, but it doesn't work. https://github.com/ozgur/python-linkedin <---This is where I got the api and I copied it exactly. 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,…

Accepted Answer

Got it. For future reference you need to download the oauthlib from 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
```
