I am looking for a way to validate a link to make sure that it is pointing to a LinkedIn public profile page in PHP. I have a website and I would like my users to be able to share their LinkedIn profile in their profile on my website. Try something like this where $username is the linked-in username. You also can set $profileurl directly to the link given and verify with str_pos that is starts with http://www.linkedin.com/in/ $profileurl = "http://www.linkedin.com/in/".$username; $fp = curl_init($profileurl); $response = curl_exec($fp); $response_code = curl_getinfo($fp, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE);

I noticed that using LinkedIn REST API in my application, i have a strange behaviour (I'm using Bill Gates as example, but it works like this for every name) 1st REST url request: http://api.linkedin.com/v1/people-search:(people:(id))?first-name=bill&last-name=gates returns 110 results 2nd REST url request: http://api.linkedin.com/v1/people-search:(people:(id))?keywords=bill%20gates returns 0 result But, according to API documentation (https://developer.linkedin.com/documents/people-search-api), the second search should return at least the 110 "bill gates" returned with the former request,

I made a mock company profile on Linkedin & have uploaded two images (see screenshot at bottom of question) and I'm trying to get the second image (large).

The info I get back looks like this: { 'logoUrl': 'https://media.licdn.com/mpr/mpr/AAEAAQAAAAAAAAagAAAAJDMwYzRhOGVmLWU3MzUtNGUyNi05YTgzLWU3MzVhOGViNGYyZA.png', 'squareLogoUrl': 'https://media.licdn.com/mpr/mpr/AAEAAQAAAAAAAAS6AAAAJDI4ODQ4NTgxLTQzZGQtNDEzZi1iZjIwLWNiNDgxZTk2NmE5ZA.png', 'description': "Bla bla",

My company uses LinkedIn Share API to publish messages on LinkedIn profiles sharing content from WordPress posts. One thing that is driving me crazy right now is that when I share the same URL and content to two different profiles, the preview cards that result from that are different. On one profile I got a full image preview like the following: But the same content (same API params to share) produce this different preview: I'm trying everything I can to get a consistent behavior. I'd like to have all previews being full size previews like the one shown in the first screenshot. API

Hitting the Historical Follower Count API documented at https://developer.linkedin.com/docs/company-pages#historical_followers URL is: https://api.linkedin.com/v1/companies/{id}/historical-follow-statistics?time-granularity=day&start-timestamp=1501718400000&end-timestamp=1501718400000&format=json Those timestamps are both for today. Response is: [ "_total" => 1, "values" => [ [ "organicFollowerCount" => 932, "paidFollowerCount" => 84, "time" => 1501718400000.0, "totalFollowerCount" => 1016, ], ], ] But the actual current follower count on the Company's page is 1009 Which of these number is
