LinkedIn API not returning fullprofile data

[samgclarke]

Using the LinkedIn API, and adding 'r_fullprofile' to the SCOPE in settings.py, I get the authorization page asking for access to the full profile. However, when I inspect the extra_data dict there is no full profile data.

Please check out the note over at:

Is your LinkedIn app an old or new one?

[samgclarke]

This is a new LinkedIn app, created about a week ago.

It seems that in allauth/socialaccount/providers/linkedin/provider.py, the fields list is not being modified by the SCOPE dict in project.settings. For example, if I manually add the 'skills' field to this list, then that data is successfully returned in extra_data.

I am sorry, but I am a little time constraint and have not been able to dive into your issue, yet. Do note that there is a get_scope method in the OAuthProvider base class from which the LinkedIn provider inherits...

[samgclarke]

Yes, in socialaccount/providers/linkedin/views.py, I can do this:

class LinkedInAPI(OAuth):
    url = 'https://api.linkedin.com/v1/people/~'
    fields = ['id',
          'first-name',
          'last-name',
          'email-address',
          'picture-url',
          'public-profile-url']
    # instantiate provider and get scope
    provider = LinkedInProvider()
    if 'r_fullprofile' in provider.get_scope():
        fields.extend(['skills', 'summary', 'headline'])

to get what I want. Do you have any suggestions as to how I can extend your package in my project to provide this functionality, while still installing the base package via pip?

Thanks,

Sam

I have moved the fields into the settings -- see the LinkedIn section in the README.
