Starting from May 12, 2015, Linkedin has limited the open APIs. Access to r_fullprofile requires that you apply for and are granted access to this information from LinkedIn.

WHAT YOU NEED TO DO :

Apply for partner status with LinkedIn(Apply with Linkedin), explaining what your integration is and how it works. If it meets their criteria of "we feel that they’re providing value to members, developers and LinkedIn," then some or all of the restricted endpoints will remain open for that app, and ONLY that app.

Member profile fields

The following selection of profile fields are available to all LinkedIn developers:

1. Basic Profile Fields
