A PHP library to handle authentication and communication with LinkedIn API. The library/SDK helps you to get an access token and when authenticated it helps you to send API requests. You will not get *everything* for free though... You have to read the [LinkedIn documentation](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/linkedin/shared/api-guide/concepts) to understand how you should query the API.

To get an overview what this library actually is doing for you. Take a look at the authentication page from the [API docs](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/linkedin/shared/authentication/authentication).

Features
--------

[](#features)

Here is a list of features that might convince you to choose this LinkedIn client over some of our competitors'.

- Flexible and easy to extend
- Developed with modern PHP standards
- Not developed for a specific framework.
- Handles the authentication process
- Respects the CSRF protection

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

First, install Linkedin-API-client via the [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/) package manager:

```
composer require elninotech/linkedin-api-client
```

Ensure that the `php-http/discovery` composer plugin is allowed to run or install a client manually if your project does not already have a PSR-18 client integrated.

```
composer require guzzlehttp/guzzle
```

If you are updating from a previous version, make sure to read [the upgrade documentation](Upgrade.md).

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

In order to use this API client (or any other LinkedIn clients), you have to [register your application](https://www.linkedin.com/developers/apps)with LinkedIn to receive an API key. Once you've registered your LinkedIn app, you will be provided with an *API Key* and *Secret Key*.
