Answer 1

you need to make a separate call

GET https://api.linkedin.com/v2/emailAddress?q=members&projection=(elements*(handle~))

Such an obfuscated request/response for a very common use case, not to mention all the existing integrations breaking. Great way to support the developer community. Developers, developers, developers, right? /s – Whirlpool

Does anyone have a snippet to see how to integrate these different API calls for email and liteprofile? I still can't get my head around this issue after having read their docs for the past few days. – Leet

@rags2riches What do you mean "integrate"? You have to make one call to https://api.linkedin.com/v2/me endpoint for the basic profile and another call to the https://api.linkedin.com/v2/emailAddress?q=members&projection=(elements*(handle~)) endpoint to get the email in their ridiculous handle format. – Tinder
