Easy peasy linkedin client for connect.

Usage

linkedin-js has two methods.

• getAccesToken(req, res, callback): Uses oAuth module to retrieve the access_token
• 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

var express = require('express'),
    connect = require('connect');

var linkedinClient = require('./../')(
      'key',
      'secret',
      'http://localhost:3003/'
    ),
    app = express.createServer(
      connect.cookieDecoder(),
      connect.session()
    );

app.get('/', function (req, res) {
  linkedinClient.getAccessToken(req, res, function (error, token) {
    res.render('auth.jade');
  });
});

app.post('/message', function (req, res) {
  linkedinClient.apiCall('POST', '/people/~/shares',
    { token: { oauth_token_secret: req.param('oauth_token_secret'), oauth_token: req.param('oauth_token') },
      share: {comment: req.param('message'), visibility: {code: 'anyone'}}},
    function (error, result) {
      res.render('message_sent.jade');
    }
  );
});

app.listen(3003);
