linkedin-js has two methods.

• apiCall(http_method, path, params, callback): Does a call to linkedin API.

Params are sent as javascript objects and parsed to XML. Params must contain the token.

Example using express.js

app.get('/linkedin/share/:message', function (req, res) {
  var linkedinClient = require('linkedin-js').linkedinClient('consumerKey', 'consumerSecret');

  linkedinClient.getAccessToken(req, res, function (error, token) {
    linkedinClient.apiCall('POST', '/people/~/shares',
      {
        token: token,
        share: {
          comment: message,
          visibility: {code: 'anyone'}
        }
      },
      function (error, result) {
        res.render('linkedin_share.jade', {locals: {result: result}});
      }
    );
  });
