Hi,

just received (again) an email from Linkedin regarding my developer access that I use for the Social Connect part of EasyProfile.

Does linkedin changing their policies affect the register and login possibility with Social Connect? Will it still work after May 12?

Dear LinkedIn developer,

Today we announced some significant changes to our Developer Program that will likely affect your LinkedIn API access.

In an effort to provide the most value to our members, developers and to LinkedIn, we're restricting our open APIs and providing further clarity about the specific use cases we'll support. Starting on May 12, 2015, the following uses will be supported:

Allowing members to represent their professional identity via their LinkedIn profile using our Profile API.
Enabling members to post certifications directly to their LinkedIn profile with our Add to Profile tools.
Enabling members to share professional content to their LinkedIn network from across the web leveraging our Share API.
Enabling companies to share professional content to LinkedIn with our Company API.

Hi,
we think it will not be necessary to make changes.

Changes:
After the grace period expires, several REST API endpoints will no longer be available for general use. The following endpoints are the only ones that will remain available for use:
Profile API — /v1/people/~
Share API — /v1/people/~/shares
Companies API — /v1/companies/{id}

we use /v1/people/~ . This endpoint will remain active.

Access to the r_fullprofile member permission now requires explicit approval from LinkedIn.

we use r_basicprofile that not require approval from Linkedin
