LinkedIn has a REST api so you have two solutions:

• Build yourself the requests you need according to the documentation (there you will find all information you can get).

  To make the HTTP requests I recommend you the gem HTTParty which allows you to automatically parse XML or JSON responses.

• Use an already-made wrapper like the linkedin gem.
