How to get email address using linkedin v2 api? - php

Question

I couldn't fetch user's email address through linkedin v2 api. I added r_emailaddress permission in app settings and also in access token request as well. But it says.
{
"serviceErrorCode": 100,
"message": "Not enough permissions to access: GET-members /clientAwareMemberHandles",
"status": 403
}
My request url is:
https://api.linkedin.com/v2/clientAwareMemberHandles?q=members&projection=(elements*(primary,type,handle~))&oauth2_access_token=".$token
Anyone please help me to solve this.

Answer 1

You can access the linkedin user email address with below EP:
`https://api.linkedin.com/v2/emailAddress?q=members&projection=(elements*(handle~))`
Make sure that you have defined the scope 'r_emailaddress' in your library.
You can use below curl request to fetch the data:
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $Url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array(
'Authorization: Bearer '. $token,
'X-Restli-Protocol-Version: 2.0.0',
'Accept: application/json',
'Content-Type: application/json'
));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 1);
$response = curl_exec($ch);
$headerSize = curl_getinfo($ch, CURLINFO_HEADER_SIZE);
$body = substr($response, $headerSize);
$response_body = json_decode($body,true);
$response_body will return the following response:
Array (
[elements] => Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[handle] => urn:li:emailAddress:123456
[handle~] => Array
(
[emailAddress] => your#email.in
)
)
)
)

Answer 2

With this type of response "handle~" value is not easy to get the next step should be :
$email = [];
$response_body = json_decode($res->getBody());
$object = $response_data->elements[0];
foreach ($object as $value){
$email[] = $value->emailAddress;
}
print_r($email[0]);
