LinkedIn API - get information about my ALL Connections

I have used Facebook API but I am new to Linkedin api.

I need some help on how to get information (name, birthday, etc) about my ALL Connections, and I need help with both the token and the info-related API calls.

As for the token -- in Facebook there is the Facebook Console to generate tokens at runtime and test our API calls... Does LinkedIn have something similar?

Update: I'm able to get list of connections using:

http://api.linkedin.com/v1/people/~/connections?modified=new 

... but how can I also get birthdates (if shared publicly)? I've attempted:

http://api.linkedin.com/v1/people/~/connections:(headline,first-name,last-name,date-of-birth) 

...however, that shows me the first and last name but NOT the date of birth.

What data can you extract from LinkedIn API?

Using the API for LinkedIn, you can get detailed information about LinkedIn groups based on the ID of the target groups. Below are some of the data you can get: ID, name, date of creation, logo, description, location, industries, etc. Learn more in the LinkedIn API documentation.

You can use the rest console here: http://developer.linkedin.com/rest-console

There is a template method you can use called "Get My Connections".

I hope this helps.

Update: LinkedIn has restricted their open API access, and this no longer works.
