Django LinkedIn Middleware

Connect to the LinkedIn API.

Installation

$ pip install django-linkedin-middleware

Just add django-linkedin-middleware.middleware.LinkedinMiddleware to your MIDDLEWARE.

Settings

Linkedin Configuration

You need to create an application on the linkedin developer pages to https://www.linkedin.com/developer/apps to receive your credentials

LINKEDIN_APPLICATION_KEY : the Client ID

LINKEDIN_APPLICATION_SECRET : the Client Secret

LINKEDIN_APPLICATION_RETURN_CALLBACK : the callback url (you should add the same url in the linkedin developer page)

LINKEDIN_APPLICATION_PROFILE : a table of different application permissions. Here's a list of the permissions : ['r_basicprofile', 'r_emailaddress', 'rw_company_admin', 'w_share']. You could also add the permission

Application Configuration

PAGES_WITH_LINKEDIN_AUTH_REQUIRED : the list of all pages on which you should force an authentication. By default, it will be all the pages (example : ['*'])

PAGES_WITHOUT_LINKEDIN_AUTH_REQUIRED : the list of all pages on which the authentication is disable.

Thanks

I only made a middleware for simply connect to linkedin and display information in the session. I based my work on the python-linkedin project.
