Trying to use profile_search api from LinkedIn

Hi @dmvieira, can you give me the link to profile_search API? I got the same error 999, and I had to use some proxies to make the script work, but it is not a permanent solution :(

Thanks in advanced

Please take a look here to know why it happens: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/23843482/accessing-linkedin-public-pages-using-python

LinkedIn blocks some ips... You need to ask them special access to api.

I don't know if there is a better legal way to retrieve this data, but I saw some guys using bing api for this.

Good luck and post your results here please
