This is a Go client library for the LinkedIn API.
go get github.com/franciscoescher/golinkedin
Fiest, you need to create a client builder with your api key credentials using golinkedin.NewBuilder.
Then, you need to get the auth url to redirect the user to the linkedin login page using builder.GetAuthURL.
The user needs to access the url, login and accept the permissions. After that, linkedin will redirect to the redirect url with a code parameter.
Finally, You need to use this code to authenticate and get the client using builder.GetClient.
This client will be able to call the linkedin api.
package main
import (
"context"
"fmt"
"github.com/franciscoescher/golinkedin"
)
func main() {
// first, you need to create a builder with your api key credentials
scopes := []string{"r_liteprofile", "r_emailaddress"}
builder := golinkedin.NewBuilder("CLIENT_ID", "CLIENT_SECRET", scopes, "REDIRECT_URL")
// then, you need to get the auth url to redirect the user to the linkedin login page
url := builder.GetAuthURL("state")
fmt.Println(url)
// after user accepts, linkedin will redirect to REDIRECT_URL with a code parameter
// you need to use this code to authenticate and get the client
code := "CODE"
client, err := builder.GetClient(context.Background(), code)
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
// now you can use the client to make requests
profile, err := client.GetProfile()
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
fmt.Println(profile)
}
Please, check the example folder for a working example that implements a server that handles the linkedin callback.
This library is not complete. It only implements the endpoints that I needed.
People endpoint is not tested.
Feel free to contribute.
