LinkedIn API 2 and VanityName from r_basicprofile

Question

LinkedIn recently updated their API and now I unable to get public user profile url(by VanityName) during OAuth2 authentication phase. Looks like r_basicprofile is not available anymore.

Is there any chance to get this url and if so, could you please describe how?

According to the following LinkedIn documentation Find Profile by VanityName API

The use of this API is restricted to those developers approved by LinkedIn and subject to applicable data restrictions in their agreements.

But there is no any information how to apply to this API. How to apply to this API and get the appropriate permissions for r_basicprofile?
