Integrating accounts with LinkedIn

Pulling a company profile from the data they maintain is always a better idea than having to maintain that information yourself. While we won't be able to have all customers update all the profile information we need to track, bringing in some information from their public profiles will always make things easier on our team.

In this recipe we will look at a simple way of bringing a customer's LinkedIn card information on their profile page. In addition, this pull of data happens exclusively on the client side.

Note

Always check with the data provider to determine if the terms of use allow you to implement this kind of customization in your specific scenario.
