    <p>According to these docs, I'm supposed to request 'email-address': <a href="https://developer.linkedin.com/documents/profile-fields" rel="nofollow">https://developer.linkedin.com/documents/profile-fields</a></p> <p>I assume this works like any other user data call, so I'm going through the oauth process to get the right tokens, then doing the following (in Python using the oauth2 libary):</p> <pre><code>In [30]: url='http://api.linkedin.com/v1/people/~:(id,first-name,industry,email-address)' In [31]: resp, content = client.request(url, 'GET') In [32]: content Out[32]: '&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?&gt;\n&lt;person&gt;\n &lt;id&gt;t0tImGn-yi&lt;/id&gt;\n &lt;first-name&gt;Jeff&lt;/first-name&gt;\n &lt;industry&gt;Computer Software&lt;/industry&gt;\n&lt;/person&gt;\n' </code></pre> <p>As you can see, the email address is not in the response.</p> <p>I should also note that I tried specifying the scope in the requestToken request using this: </p> <p><code>request_token_url = 'https://api.linkedin.com/uas/oauth/requestToken? scope=r_basic_profile+r_emailaddress'</code></p> <p>Update: I found other docs here: <a href="https://developer.linkedin.com/documents/authentication#toggleview:id=python" rel="nofollow">https://developer.linkedin.com/documents/authentication#toggleview:id=python</a> which seem to imply that I should be trying to access email by going here: resp, content = client.request('http://api.linkedin.com/v1/people/~/email-address', 'GET')</p> <p>In this case, content returns "null"</p>

    1. CODid you try the above call with a new API key? API keys issued prior to this scoped permissions launching, do not support requesting additional permissions like the email-address.

    2. COThat seems to be what's going on. I requested new keys and now I'm at least getting the up-to-date authentication screen for the oauth on their site. I'm still not getting the email, but I need to check and make sure it's not my fault this time. Thanks Paul.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
