My-LinkedIn-Page

My first Ruby on Rails and API experiment

"My LinkedIn Page" collects your LinkedIn data, and formats it from JSON to HTML. Hopefully, it will later save the information to a database and provide a link where anyone can access your page without authentication.

How to run the application locally

1. Create a new LinkedIn API application on https://developer.linkedin.com/
2. Download my code
3. Create the files apiKey.txt and apiSecret.txt in the root, and add your API key and secret to the files
4. Start the application via typing ruby s in the terminal
5. Go to localhost:3000/linkedin in your favorite web browser.
6. Voilà!

Of course you can contribute to the project if you think it's a nice idea. You're also much welcome to provide feedback to marcus@marcusnygren.se.

Ideas:

• Format the JSON data from the LinkedIn API into the format that JSON Resume uses, so that https://jsonresume.org can be used for generating the HTML page.
