Using LinkedIn JavaScript API for User Authentication and Profile Retrieval
Integrating third-party sign-in with a website is quite common these days. Just like Facebook and Twitter, LinkedIn too allows you to ingrate LinkedIn authentication with your own website. One simple way to achieve such an integration is to use LinkedIn JavaScript API. Using this API you can authenticate a user with their LinkedIn credentials and also retrieve their profile and connection information. Once retrieved you can use that information to integrate LinkedIn authentication with your website's security and membership framework.
