My company needs to develop an app where we need to make use of the searching the profile BY EMAIL ADDRESS.
there are several questions and/or other resources regarding the "search api" on the linkedin API. Lots of them contain broken links or outdated information.
E.g.
Linkedin rest api to search people with name
Search people with Linkedin API
What are the steps to use linkedin people search api?
http://www.programmableweb.com/api/linkedin-people-search
Of course, I started here: https://developer.linkedin.com/docs/rest-api
To my understanding, there was a change in the API in 2015, which left basic profile for the public to use, the availabiliy of the rest went under the Partnership Programs.
Is the search API available under all of the listed profiles? Does anyone of you use it these days? (mid-2016)?

My team and I are looking to add to our app several features of the Linkedin API that are currently restricted. In order of importance to us:
Find Profile by VanityName
Webhooks
Video UGC Post
We already quite understand that Webhooks and Video UGC Post are REALLY restricted. What about the first one?
In general, how can we get in contact with the right people to get such approvals? Nowhere it is mentioned that we cannot apply, just that it is restricted.
We are very happy to work with Linkedin requirements, whatever they are.
Thanks.

To be able to find profile by VanityName with LinkedIn API you need to become a LinkedIn Partner.
First you need to create an application https://www.linkedin.com/developer/apps
Once you've created an "application" you can then apply to become a LinkedIn partner. To apply go to https://developer.linkedin.com/partner-programs/apply
LinkedIn's Business Development team will review all applications and will endeavour to respond to you within 15 days.
Using "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/plus.login" api, we are getting the access to a list of people in the user's circles in addition to their name and profile information. After api deprecation, we using people.connections.list api "https://people.googleapis.com/v1/people/me/connections" as per documentation but we get list contacts only, not friends list in google+. please help us to retrieve the friends list in google-plus. Thank you
This is probably only telling you what you already know or have guessed.
From the deprecated People API page: "... calls to the API return empty circle data for those new sign-ins." and "In place of the social connection data from the Google+ People API, you can get rich contacts data from the new Google People API."
It seems that there will no longer be a public API for getting a Google+ friends list. Consider supporting an alternate social media platform for your app or utilizing Google Contacts.
It sounds like the People API will actually be more powerful than the G+ people.list method. The G+ API only listed people that the user had circled--that isn't the same as being a friend or close contact. The people API likely better reflects closer connections between individuals as well as exposing a broad number of contacts to apps. I think for most apps, this is an improvement.
I want to access the full LinkedIn profile information using the API, but I have only managed to access the basic profile and e-mail address with the API-key and Secret Key.
Am I missing something or is it more restricted in some manner?
How did you get the LinkedIn API ?
Did you applied for partnership because as far as I know LinkedIn changed the policy of API , so the API will be available only through the partnership and for that you've to pay different fee based on partner program
Have a look here, the same thins we've too.
I've fulfilled the application 3 weeks ago but no response yet.
***Subject: Having acces on LinkedIn API [160721-001958]****
I had spoken with one of our experts on this and he had confirmed for me that you can still go through other workarounds for this.
Go to https://developer.linkedin.com/partner-programs
Click on either of the options based on your need. You will be directed to another page where if you scroll down you will find the button for Apply to become a LinkedIn Solutions Partner. Click on that.
You will be directed to a page that says Apply to become a LinkedIn Partner and you can fill up the form from there for access.
i am beginner to google+ developer API and i want to grab user review from any about page for example https://plus.google.com/116018016837619707952/about
i have tried using curl call but didn't get success for all reviews.
also seen the content of document :https://developers.google.com/+/api/latest/people/get
can You just give me the idea about google api to grab review data.
Reviews are not considered part of the Google+ Platform. You have to use the Places API.
I am working on iphone application.I wanted to get the social networking (facebook,twitter, etc) profile details by giving email id as query. Is there any method to get the profile ?
For Facebook you can try this answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/5247066/580173
For twitter this this not possible. You can use oAuth to authenticate the user and get the profile.
For LinkedIn I believe it's also not possible. LinkedIn doesn't communicate the emailaddress anywhere in their API.
See this forum post: https://developer.linkedin.com/thread/1131
I'm assuming that you're wanting to just add the social profile links to a user's profile inside your app...correct? (If you want to actually allow your users to post to their various social media accounts, your best bet is to go ahead and let users sign into each individual account via OAuth.)
If you're looking to get public social info via email address, your free options for a simple solution are pretty limited. Each different social network has its own method, so you'd need to build out a different process to query each social network you want to support. Without more info on which networks you want to support, there are any number of different answers to this question - so I'll just say your best bet is to check out the developer docs of whichever social networks you want to use.
If you're looking for a paid solution, you might try FullContact (full disclosure - I work for them). The Person API pretty much does exactly what you're looking for - pulling all public social media profiles associated with a particular email ID. API docs are here.
However, it is a paid solution, which may not be what you're after.
