linkedin-export-tool

A NodeJS tool to export Linkedin data

Installation

git clone https://github.com/nhduy1985/linkedin-export-tool.git
cd linkedin-export-tool
npm install

Configuration

mkdir export
cp config.json.dist config.json
vim config.json

Get an API key:

From the LinkedIn FAQ:

Where can I find my API key?

Click on the My Apps link in the top navigation menu to manage your LinkedIn applications.

From here, you can create a new application if you don't already have one, or view the details of your existing applications. You will find your Client ID (otherwise known as API Key/ID or Consumer Key/ID) listed in the "Authentication" side nav link, underneath the header "Authentication Keys".

Add http://localhost:3001/oauth/linkedin/callback to the list of "Authorized Redirect URLs" in the "OAuth 2.0" section of the app configuration on LinkedIn's developer site. Without this you would get "invalid redirect_uri. This value must match a URL registered with the API Key."

Put your API secret into config.json as the value for "secret". Put your Client_ID into config.json as the value for "api" (which is actually the client id, confusingly)

Usage

1. Run the tool

node app.js

2. Open the browser to request access authentication: http://localhost:3001/oauth/linkedin

3. Export data http://localhost:3001/export

A json export\linkedin.json will be saved with data specified on

linkedin.people.me(['id', 'first-name', 'last-name','public-profile-url','picture-url','positions','projects','skills']

Features

• Export simple data from "me"
• Export more data
• Integrate with Grunt
