Connect to the LinkedIn API.
$ pip install django-linkedin-middleware
Just add django-linkedin-middleware.middleware.LinkedinMiddleware
to your MIDDLEWARE
.
In the request session will be found 3 differents label :
linkedin_firstName
for the user first namelinkedin_lastName
for the user last namelinkedin_headline
for the user headline
In your HTML, you can directly add these label to display the data.
You need to create an application on the linkedin developer pages to https://www.linkedin.com/developer/apps to receive your credentials
LINKEDIN_APPLICATION_KEY
: the Client ID
LINKEDIN_APPLICATION_SECRET
: the Client Secret
LINKEDIN_APPLICATION_RETURN_CALLBACK
: the callback url (you should add the same url in the linkedin developer page)
LINKEDIN_APPLICATION_PROFILE
: a table of different application permissions. Here's a list of the permissions :
['r_basicprofile', 'r_emailaddress', 'rw_company_admin', 'w_share']
. You could also add the permission
PAGES_WITH_LINKEDIN_AUTH_REQUIRED
: the list of all pages on which you should force an authentication. By default, it will be all the pages (example : ['*']
)
PAGES_WITHOUT_LINKEDIN_AUTH_REQUIRED
: the list of all pages on which the authentication is disable.
I only made a middleware for simply connect to linkedin and display information in the session. I based my work on the python-linkedin project.
