In previous post I explained Add LinkedIn Login Authentication to Website, integrate facebook login to asp.net website, Add twitter authentication to website, Get Loggedin user details from facebook, Get Twitter loggedin user details. Now I will explain how to get loggedin user details from LinkedIn using JavaScript in asp.net.
To implement this one first create app and integrate LinkedIn login
in website
based on previous post. Once we integrate LinkedIn authentication now we need
to write the code like as shown below to get logged in user details from LinkedIn
function onLinkedInAuth()
{
IN.API.Profile("me")
.fields("firstName",
"lastName", "industry", "location:(name)",
"picture-url", "headline", "summary",
"num-connections", "public-profile-url", "distance", "positions",
"email-address", "educations", "date-of-birth")
.result(displayProfiles)
.error(displayProfilesErrors);
}
|
This function is used to get basic details
(firstname, lastname, location, profile image, emailid, friends list, any
information we shared publically) of logged in user from LinkedIn.
If you need access to more information,
such as the user's email address, etc. you must request permissions for this
information. For that we need to add permission to
scope attribute of the Login Button and our LinkedIn api function will be like this
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://platform.linkedin.com/in.js">
api_key: YOUR_API_KEY
authorize: true
onLoad: onLinkedInLoad
scope: r_basicprofile r_emailaddress
r_fullprofile
</script>
|
By using above method we can get name, email,
profile image for that we added some of parameters to get access for our scope attribute of login button. If you
want more information then you need to get permission for other objects for
that check this link scope permission reference.
To get user details from LinkedIn account
we need to write the code like as shown below
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<title>Linkedin Authentication Login in Asp.net Website</title>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://platform.linkedin.com/in.js">
api_key: r5qes40ga0me
authorize: true
onLoad: onLinkedInLoad
scope: r_basicprofile r_emailaddress
r_fullprofile
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
function onLinkedInLoad() {
IN.Event.on(IN, "auth",
onLinkedInAuth);
}
function onLinkedInAuth() {
IN.API.Profile("me")
.fields("firstName",
"lastName", "industry", "location:(name)",
"picture-url", "headline", "summary",
"num-connections", "public-profile-url", "distance", "positions",
"email-address", "educations", "date-of-birth")
.result(displayProfiles)
.error(displayProfilesErrors);
}
function displayProfiles(profiles) {
member = profiles.values[0];
alert(JSON.stringify(member));
document.getElementById("lblName").innerHTML =
member.firstName + " " +
member.lastName + "<br/> Location is
" + member.location.name ;
document.getElementById("imgProfile").src = member.pictureUrl;
document.getElementById("lblEmail").innerHTML =
member.emailAddress;
document.getElementById("lblProfile").innerHTML =
member.publicProfileUrl;
}
function displayProfilesErrors(error) {
profilesDiv = document.getElementById("profiles");
profilesDiv.innerHTML = error.message;
console.log(error);
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<script type="in/Login" >
</script>
<br />
<b>Get Linkedin LoggedIn User Details</b>
<table>
<tr>
<td>Name:</td>
<td><label id="lblName"
/></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Email:</td>
<td><label id="lblEmail"
/></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Profile Url:</td>
<td><label id="lblProfile"
/></td>
</tr><tr>
<td>Profile Image:</td>
<td> <img id="imgProfile" /></td>
</tr>
</table>
<div id="profiles">
</div>
</body>
</html>

Now run your application and check the
output that would be like this

Hi i have integrated linkedin authentication like you have done.its working fine locally but its not working on server.have you tried on server.i guess in.js is not loading on server.can you please help me??
Suppose I am using a custom login button, but after the login, login button is not disappearing, can I use .isAuthorized, or some like that any other method , so that on the basis of the same, I can use Updatepanel to display login and logout button.
Thanks
