How do I get the JSON output for the API?

According to the LinkedIn API:

Indicating you want to use JSON or JSONP

You can retrieve JSON data using the new "format" parameter:

GET
https://api.linkedin.com/v1/people/~:(id)?format=json

You can also tell us you want JSON by sending a HTTP header of x-li-format with a value of json.

x-li-format: json
Now you receive JSON-formatted data from API calls instead of the default format of XML.

There doesn't seem to be anything documented for this. But it seems like it'd be easy to implement.

Actually it seems that you're requesting json and converting it to a ruby hash. My bad. Is there a way to turn this off it I want to work with the json?

This issue is quite old, but just in case anyone else comes across it:

https://github.com/emorikawa/linkedin-oauth2/blob/master/lib/linked_in/api_resource.rb#L44-L50

I imagine all you'd need to do is overwrite the get method there, and do everything the same expect return just the response.body (without converting)
