Can you clarify the type of recommendation you're looking for? – Thiago Jackiw Jul 23 '11 at 23:28

Sure, for example the recommendations of other people about you in Linkedin. – Rodrigo Jul 25 '11 at 05:56

You can extract the recommendations using the LinkedIn API, specifically the Profile API. Rough steps are:
- Create an application;
- Authenticate yourself via OAuth;
- Make a call to the API (via JavaScript or some other language via the REST interface) to retrieve your recommendations. A sample call that will do this:
http://api.linkedin.com/v1/people/~:(recommendations-received)
In terms of doing this with PHP, there is a free library, along with demo scripts, here:

LinkedIn ended their support for the most of the apps. You must be in a partner program in order to be able to get full profile information.

I realize that this is an old thread, but do you have any link to verify this? – nicoramirezdev Jan 04 '22 at 11:44
