Oracle Drags Its Feet in the JavaScript Trademark Dispute
Oracle seeks to dismiss fraud claims in the JavaScript trademark dispute, delaying the case and avoiding questions about its right to the name.
Ruby wrapper for the LinkedIn API. Heavily inspired by John Nunemaker's Twitter gem, the LinkedIn gem provides an easy-to-use wrapper for LinkedIn's Oauth/XML APIs.
[sudo] gem install linkedin
LinkedIn's API uses Oauth for authentication. Luckily, the LinkedIn gem hides most of the gory details from you.
require 'rubygems'
require 'linkedin'
# get your api keys at https://www.linkedin.com/secure/developer
client = LinkedIn::Client.new('your_consumer_key', 'your_consumer_secret')
rtoken = client.request_token.token
rsecret = client.request_token.secret
# to test from your desktop, open the following url in your browser
# and record the pin it gives you
client.request_token.authorize_url
=> "https://api.linkedin.com/uas/oauth/authorize?oauth_token=<generated_token>"
# then fetch your access keys
client.authorize_from_request(rtoken, rsecret, pin)
=> ["OU812", "8675309"] # <= save these for future requests
# or authorize from previously fetched access keys
c.authorize_from_access("OU812", "8675309")
# you're now free to move about the cabin, call any API method
# get the profile for the authenticated user
client.profile
# get a profile for someone found in network via ID
client.profile(:id => 'gNma67_AdI')
# get a profile for someone via their public profile url
client.profile(:url => 'http://www.linkedin.com/in/netherland')

For a nice example on using this in a Rails App.
If you want to play with the LinkedIn api without using the gem, have a look at the apigee LinkedIn console.
