Michele, I have the germ of something that works.
Your code outline was pretty close...
In a controller function...
auth.settings.login_form =
LinkedInAccount(globals(),CLIENT_ID,CLIENT_SECRET, AUTH_URL,
TOKEN_URL, ACCESS_TOKEN_URL)
token = auth.settings.login_form.accessToken()
if token is None:
# add handling
pass
else:
from gluon.contrib.login_methods.linkedin import LinkedIn
api = LinkedIn(CLIENT_ID, CLIENT_SECRET, 'http://
afterthefact.org/')
api.access_token = token.key
api.access_token_secret = token.secret
# free to call methods of LinkedIn class. E.g., GetProfile()
profile = api.GetProfile()
Seemingly a little ugly but a self-written class 'LinkedInAccount'
derived from OAuthAccount can be married with Özgür Vatansever's
LinkedIn class. The former authenticates with LinkedIn and the latter
retrieves most of the data.
thanks M for the pointer
