LinkedIn OAuth2 not getting email address?

[Gena K]

New to pac4j but must say that it's been great so far! Thank you for having a good Java sample and docs and keeping this maintained and up to date! I'm using it with Play framework 2.3.6 and Java APIs.

Anyway, I'm having a problem getting the email address in the profile from LinkedIn. On developer's side for LinkedIn API I enabled r_basicprofile, r_contactinfo, and  r_emailaddress. But when I look at the profile values that come back after login (i.e. CommonProfile profile = getUserProfile()), and inspect profile.getEmail() it comes back as null.

Am I missing something?

Hi,

Looking at the test: https://github.com/leleuj/pac4j/blob/master/pac4j-oauth/src/test/java/org/pac4j/oauth/client/LinkedIn2ClientIT.java, it seems that the email should be returned. Did you try with: r_fullprofile r_emailaddress r_contactinfo?

Otherwise, turn on your DEBUG logs to see what is returned by LinkedIn?

Thanks.

Best regards,

Yes, just tried with those all set on as well. I was googling for this and found a few references that state that LinkedIn won't return the email address unless you pay extra for it. Not sure though if it's true?

Also, I found that GitHub and Twitter also don't return the email address. Can others confirm this as normal?

Is profile.id something that I can use that is unique and consistent for each user that logins via social logins?

Hi,

The getId() method of the user profile returns the unique identifier of the provider (example: 123456). The getTypedId() method returns a unique identifier accross all providers (example: FacebookProfile#123456).
