LinkedHub

This is a Sails API that fetches a LinkedIn public profile and a github account.

Get started:

# Get the latest stable release of Sails
$ sudo npm install sails -g

# Clone this project
$ git clone git@github.com:ianko/LinkedHub_API.git

# Enter the directory
$ cd LinkedHub_API

# Install the dependencies
$ npm install

# Run the API
$ sails lift

Configuration:

Open the config/linkedhub.js file and update with the preferred authenticate object. See https://github.com/mikedeboer/node-github for options.

How it works:

When you lift the API, the Seed Languages Hook will check if the languages.yml file was already loaded in the database. If not, will do it.

The API will receive POST calls on the /parse endpoint. The expected payload is:

{
    "linkedin": "{LINKEDIN_PUBLIC_URL}",
    "github": "{GITHUB_USERNAME}"
}

The response has three main attributes:

{
  "linkedin": {}, // the scraped linkedin profile
  "github": {}, // the github profile fetched from the API
  "counts": {} // the languages and projects that matches the linkedin skills
}
