People often list their taken courses from universities at linkedIn.
Does anyone know if it is possible to fetch these courses using Spring Social?
im using:
<org.springframework.social-version>1.1.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT</org.springframework.social-version>
<org.springframework.social.linkedin-version>1.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT</org.springframework.social.linkedin-version>
<org.springframework-version>3.2.3.RELEASE</org.springframework-version>
<org.springframework.security-version>3.1.4.RELEASE</org.springframework.security-version>
The closest I found is the education object, but it doesn't seem to contain the courses.
linkedin.profileOperations().getUserProfileFull().getEducations()
As of now there is no support for fetching courses.
However, I added a improvement issue in spring socials tracker here
And I found an alternative way of fetching the courses by rest operations.
Connection<LinkedIn> connection = connectionRepository.findPrimaryConnection(LinkedIn.class);
if (connection != null) {
LinkedIn linkedin = connection.getApi();
String url = String.format("https://api.linkedin.com/v1/people/id=%s:(courses)", linkedin.profileOperations().getProfileId());
String jsonData = linkedin.restOperations().getForObject(url, String.class);
JSONObject obj = new JSONObject(jsonData).getJSONObject("courses");
JSONArray courseArray = obj.getJSONArray("values");
JSONObject course = courseArray.getJSONObject(0);
String name = course.getString("name");
System.out.println("This is the name of the first course: " + name);
}
To see what university a course belongs to seems hard. Couldn't solve that part.
