Hi,

With HTTPConnector I am able to extract profile data from Profile API where as If I use other API like people search, Company Search & Job Search it is throwing SEARCH DENIED with OAUTH1.

I am able to do the same with PYTHON scripting. Please let me know the limitations of it or I am missing any parameter.

  Hi krsna007,
  
  I guess you followed http://www.cloveretl.com/blog/cloveretl-and-linkedin/ , right? Did you add necessary scope permissions when generating application on LinkedIn? See http://developer.linkedin.com/documents ... n#granting for details. For example for reading your contacts will be necessary r_contactinfo permission.
  
  I hope this helps.

  Hi, Thanks for your reply. As I told you with my Linked in Credentials I extract all related through PYTHON SCRIPT.
  
  With CLOVER I can extract only PROFILE API information. PEOPLE SEARCH and JOB SEARCH is not giving me any data. Is there any limitation with Clover.
  
  Below all are selected.
  
  w_messages rw_company_admin r_emailaddress
  r_network rw_nus r_basicprofile
  rw_groups r_fullprofile r_contactinfo
  
  https://api.linkedin.com/v1/people-sear ... name=vipul
  
  Please let me know whether People-search, Job-Search are possible or not?

  Hi krsna,
  
  According to the following information, People search and Jobs search APIs are not publicly available. You have to be a memer of their vetted program.
  
  You can apply for this membership here https://help.linkedin.com/app/ask/path/api-dvr
  
  I hope this helps.

  Thanks for your reply.
  
  I am able to extract data through People search, Job Search using PYTHON Script.
  
  Do I still need to be a member of Vetted Program to extract data through CLOVE ETL?

  Can you please share the script here? I would like to see what is different between your Python solution and your CloverETL solution.
  
  Thanks.
