Is there any way to refresh Linkedin access token by application for authenticated user without his intervention?

Thanks in advance,

Nimi

The process will only be 'seamless' if the user is both currently logged in to LinkedIn, and the token has yet to expire:

If either of the above is not ture, then the user must directly re-auth a new token.

    Thanks for you response. I already read it. Not sure how to make it. I tried it without success. What does it mean - the user currently logged in to Linkedin? the meaning is that he doesn't remove his account on Linkedin? Can you please show me by example? (I use php & PECL OAuth). – Nimi Nov 27 '12 at 15:25

    Currently logged in meaning that he has a current browser session with LinkedIn.com open - i.e. there are active LinkedIn auth credentials in the browser. – Unpossible Nov 27 '12 at 15:57
