Authentication

Following the LinkedIn Authentication Documentation:

Step 1. Register your application

Create a LinkedIn Account and register an application

Step 2a. Generate Authorization Code by redirecting user to LinkedIn's authorization dialog

# create a client and configure it with your :key, :secret and :redirect_uri. See "Client Configuration" above.
client.authorize_url # => A URI that will take a user to LinkedIn, ask them to login and redirect to the URI that you configured

Step 2b. Request Access Token by exchanging the authorization_code for it

# create a client and configure it with your :key, :secret and :redirect_uri. See "Client Configuration" above.
