Hi,
I am facing a problem. On a website I wish to find details of various people(public profiles). I created the LinkedIN API and did the coding. I am able to pull the profile details properly. But the problem arises when i sign-out of LinkedIN. Then the profile details are not seen. So is there any way to get profile details without the viewer needing to sign-in???

Is there no other way as in providing my user ID and password by code itself and signing out after the information is displayed????

Since linked in has premium features i.e. paid membership options , it restricts the users access to linked-in data according to the the user's package.

As per this statement of yours "I am able to pull the profile details properly. But the problem arises when i sign-out of LinkedIN. Then the profile details are not seen." ---- I would suggest that you update your local database whenever you sign-in into the linked-in so that the data will be available to your users.
