Hi,
\nIn one of my recent Grails application, i needed to integrate LinkedIn groups with the application.
\nIn my previous post<\/a>, we discussed about Integrating LinkedIn API in any grails application. To add a LinkedIn Group, we first need to authorize the LinkedIn account which has either created that group or is the member\/admin of the group with the rights to publish new post in that group.<\/p>\n

<\/pre>\n
After obtaining linkedIn_token<\/strong> and linkedIn_secret<\/strong> as mentioned in this blog<\/a>, we need to make another call to retrieve all the Linked Groups for that account.<\/p>\n
<\/pre>\n
Code to retrieve all the LinkedIn Groups is as :-<\/p>\n
[java]
\n         String apiKey = API_KEY obtained from registered LinkedIn Application
\n         String apiSecret = API_SECRET obtained from registered LinkedIn Application<\/p>\n
        Map linkedInGroupMap = [:]<\/p>\n
        LinkedInAccessToken accessToken = new LinkedInAccessToken(linkedIn_token, linkedIn_secret)
\n        LinkedInApiClientFactory factory = LinkedInApiClientFactory.newInstance(apiKey, apiSecret)
\n        LinkedInApiClient linkedInClient = factory.createLinkedInApiClient(accessToken)
\n        GroupMemberships groupMemberships = linkedInClient.getGroupMemberships()<\/p>\n
       groupMemberships.groupMembershipList.each {GroupMembership groupMembership -&gt;
\n            linkedInGroupMap[groupMembership.group.id] = groupMembership.group.name
\n       }
\n[\/java]<\/p>\n
So, the resulting map will contains the key, value<\/strong> pairs of linkedIn groups ID and Name.<\/p>\n
<\/pre>\n
Now we can store these Group IDs for making API calls to :-<\/p>\n
#. Retrieve group’s profile details.<\/strong>
\n#. Read, Create, Like, Comment group posts<\/strong><\/p>\n
<\/pre>\n
Example API call to retieve group’s discussion wall posts:<\/p>\n
[java]
\n     http:\/\/api.linkedin.com\/v1\/groups\/${linkedInGroupId}\/posts?format=json&count=30&start=30
\n[\/java]<\/p>\n
This will retrieve latest 30 group discussions in JSON format.<\/p>\n
<\/pre>\n
This worked for me. Hope this helps…:)<\/p>\n
