Im currently creating a PHP application that searched various Social Media and analyses the results. Now im stuck at calling the LinkedIn API.
I need to call these API's without user authentication (I need a sort of app authentication). Facebook offers a way to retrieve an access token, based on app key and secret. With Twitter I simply used my own accestoken en access secret.
I searched all day for a way to call the LinkedIn API in a similar way, but havent succeeded in finding one. I also couldn't find my own access token en secret on the LinkedIn developer's site.
Do you know how I can access the LinkedIn API from my PHP application, without the user having to login himself?
Hope you guys can help me out!

HTTP API exampleSet LINKEDIN_API_KEY and LINKEDIN_API_SECRET, configure your app to redirect to http://localhost:8080/code, then execute: http_api.py. Visit http://localhost:8080 in your browser, curl or similar. A tab in your browser will open up, give LinkedIn permission there.
The LinkedIn API doesn't support non-user-authenticated requests - that is, there are no calls for which you can just use the consumer key and secret - they all require a user token and secret as well.
The LinkedIn API is designed to be used from the member's perspective, acting on behalf of a specific member - it's not designed to support general application search use cases.
