An option could be to do the communication via PHP (
https://github.com/Happyr/LinkedIn-API-client) and create your own PHP
service to pass the data

LinkedIn from Flex Development Question

[Erik J. Thomas]

Hey all:

I've read through much of the LinkedIn Developer docs for using REST APIs, but 
can't find a simple answer to a simple need:

We just want to be able to import a user's LinkedIn photo, title, and company 
name, in a Flex mobile app if the user wants to use it.

The LinkedIn API docs make this a hugely complex process, using OAuth 2, 
requiring a server for authentication callbacks, etc., very heavyweight for 
such a simple need and I haven't found any Flex libraries that will help with 
this, though I may not be looking hard enough.

Do any of you have any experience doing this sort of thing? And if we have to 
go with the heavyweight OAuth 2 approach, are any of you interested in a 
short-term development contact to help us develop it out in Flex for AIR? Or do 
you know of an AS3 library out there to do this? 

Thanks!

Erik
