Spring Social: Get User (LinkedIn, Facebook) Email

Question

I am using Spring Social to connect to LinkedIn and Facebook. I downloaded the source code from this link:

Github Spring Social LinkedIn Examples

In this project, I am running “Spring.MvcQuickStart” under examples directory. It works pretty well but I don't know how to get the user’s email. I need to know how can I get the user’s email in the controller given at this link. I've added scope parameters like this:

parameters.Add("scope", "r_emailaddress r_fullprofile");

I can get the full profile of the user like this:

LinkedInFullProfile profile = linkedInClient.ProfileOperations.GetUserFullProfil eAsync().Result;

But the full profile does not contain user email (the email the user provided in his LinkedIn profile). I've no idea how to get the user's email.

Answer 1

The actual implemtation does not read email attribute, but you can get it using classic REST operations:

JsonValue jsonResult = linkedIn.RestOperations.GetForObjectAsync<JsonValue>("people/{~}:(email-address)?format=json").Result;
