ebx-linkedin-sdk is a pure Java LinkedIn API client. It implements the versioning API as described here.
It is created and maintained by Echobox.
ebx-linkedin-sdk itself is open source software released under the terms of the Apache 2.0 License.
Recommended installation is via maven (or gradle etc.). For our latest stable release (recommended) use:
<dependency>
<groupId>com.echobox</groupId>
<artifactId>ebx-linkedin-sdk</artifactId>
<version>8.0.0</version>
</dependency>
If you'd like to use the latest SNAPSHOT build please ensure you have snapshots enabled in your pom:
<repositories>
<repository>
<id>oss.sonatype.org-snapshot</id>
<url>http://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots</url>
<releases><enabled>false</enabled></releases>
<snapshots><enabled>true</enabled></snapshots>
</repository>
</repositories>
and then include the snapshot dependency, replacing x.x.x with the latest snapshot version:
<dependency>
<groupId>com.echobox</groupId>
<artifactId>ebx-linkedin-sdk</artifactId>
<version>x.x.x-SNAPSHOT</version>
</dependency>
alternatively just drop the JAR into your app and you're ready to go.
Just type
mvn package
and the jars will be built and can be found in the target folder.
Please see the tests for examples of API calls that are supported and the expected JSON responses
To get the access token to begin to make requests (See documentation):
LinkedInClient client = new DefaultLinkedInClient(Version.DEFAULT_VERSION);
LinkedInClient.AccessToken accessToken = client.obtainUserAccessToken(clientId, clientSecret, redirectURI, code);
To create a LinkedIn Share (See documentation):
VersionedPostConnection postConnection =
new VersionedPostConnection(new DefaultLinkedInClient(authToken));
Distribution distribution = new Distribution(Distribution.FeedDistribution.MAIN_FEED);
String commentary = "Message here"
Post post = new Post(ownerURN, commentary, distribution, Post.LifecycleState.PUBLISHED,
Post.Visibility.PUBLIC);
String articleLink = "https://www.example.com/1234";
String title = "title";
String description = "description";
PostUtils.fillArticleContent(post, articleLink, imageURN, title, description);
URN postURN = postConnection.createPost(post);
Retrieve an organization from LinkedIn (See documentation):
VersionedOrganizationConnection connection =
new VersionedOrganizationConnection(linkedInClient);
Organization organization = connection.retrieveOrganization(organizationURN, null);

We use semantic versioning.
All merges into DEV will automatically get released as a maven central snapshot, which can be easily included in any downstream dependencies that always desire the latest changes (see above for 'Most Up To Date' installation).
Each merge into the MASTER branch will automatically get released to Maven central and github releases, using the current library version. As such, following every merge to master, the version number of the dev branch should be incremented and will represent 'Work In Progress' towards the next release.
Please use a merge (not rebase) commit when merging dev into master to perform the release.
To create a full release to Maven central please follow these steps:
- Ensure the
CHANGELOG.mdis up-to-date with all the changes in the release, if not please raise a suitable PR intoDEV. Typically, the change log should be updated as we go. - Create a PR from
DEVintoMASTER. Ensure the version in thepom.xmlis the correct version to be released. Merging this PR intoMASTERwill automatically create the maven and github releases, This PR should never be squashed, but just merged to ensure all commits from dev are included in master. Please note that a release is final, it cannot be undone/deleted/overwritten. - Once the public release has been successful, create a final PR into
DEVthat contains an incrementedpom.xmlversion to ensure the correct snapshot gets updated on subsequent merges intoDEV. This PR should include:- An update to the
README.mdlatest stable release version number. - A 'Work In Progress' entry for the next anticipated release in
CHANGELOG.md.
